A more recent one ... Passenger, Let her go:
-
The Dixie Chicks' version of Top of the World
Travelin' Soldier - Dixie Chicks
Skin (Sara Beth) - Rascal Flatts
-
Probably not the saddest song EVER, but "After the Bombs" by The Decemberists always gets me for some reason...
-
I don't know how you feel about country music, but this song gets me every time. It definitely helps that Vince's voice is so beautiful and haunting. I saw him sing this in person once and it was just stunningly heartbreaking.
-
Somewhere Out There from An American Tail ... I was traumatized by that movie because Fievel and his parents get separated. Whenever my dad used to play that song on the piano it would bring back the memories of the movie and I'd start to cry.
-
@char54: i wonder how many people from our generation are traumatized by that movie. Myself included
-
@char54: I was so traumatized by that movie as well!
I can't think of any right now.
Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday always made me pretty sad.
ETA: It seems like country is the winning genre for depressing music! LOL
-
@grizz: Ugh yes, Damien Rice!
The one that gets me every single time is Gravity by Sara Bareilles. Mostly because of this dance from So You Think You Can Dance... it came on at a time when someone close to me was struggling with addiction and it just broke my heart. (skip to 1:12 for just the song)
-
@hotchildinthecity: @.twist.: it's so depressing!!! Lol. I will never let C watch it!
-
All the Same by Sick Puppies is really sad to me for personal reasons.
-
Blue Rodeo's Falling Down Blue and Steve Earle's My Old Friend the Blues
-
Jewel's "The Shape of You" kills me, total sob-fest
-
This soing makes me cry:
This is war-Smile empty soul
-
You Are Always On My Mind (Willie Nelson)
Tell Lorrie I Love Her (Keith Whitley)
The Space Between (Dave Matthews)
-
Brick, Ben folds 5
Let her cry, hootie -
@MsLipGloss: Ah, I
The Space Between.
-
Oh my gosh I can't watch these. I am teary eyed just thinking about them.
-
@char54: @hotchildinthecity: that song is sooo sad but so sweet! I love it. I wasn't traumatized by the movie, though haha
I forgot one - "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban... It's a sad song, and even more so because it was played at my cousin's funeral. I play it on piano and for the year after his funeral, my dad wouldn't let me play it because it affected him so much.
-
@grizz: That's exactly what I was going to say, "Say Something" by A Great Big World with Christina Aguilera!
-
@Trailmix: Yep. Saddest song EVER.
It doesn't quite compare to Tears in Heaven, but 100 Years by Five for Fighting makes me cry every time I listen to it.
-
Why people whyyyyy!!!
-
@sorrycharlie: OMG sob... And the Darius Rucker one was in my wedding so extra tears there.
-
There's an old Korean music video that's incredibly sad. A student recommended it years ago. A guy is singing it (he doesn't have many songs, but has a really nice voice). I have to find it!
It's the one with them hanging off the cliff in the end, then a helicopter comes. It's from a 3-part series (I think). I may be called "hello" / "goodbye".
Someone has to know it!!!
-
Found it!
-
I also like me some Jay Chou
-
-
@MsLipGloss: That Willie Nelson song is my parents wedding song lol! They didn't have a song picked and thats the one the band chose to play for them! My mom says through all the years (they've been married over 30) and stuff they've been through, it's not a bad song to be attached to.
-
This song had be bawling pp! I'm getting teary eyed listening to it now while looking at LO's 1st birthday pics

Mad World by Gary Jules (the version from Donnie Darko)
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrowAnd I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world -
Romulus, by Sufjan Stevens

@SugarplumsMom: This Korean music video is SOOOOOOOOO SAD!!!
