That's a beautiful song. Every time I play it i have to play it again straight away. I dont actually like The Flaming Lips much, but this song is genius.
Saw Morrissey perform it a capella at the O2 a few years back. On his own, under a spotlight, and you could have heard a pin drop in the venue! A hauntingly sad song.
Hurt - the Johnny Cash version (as opposed to the original Nine Inch Nails version)
This for me too.
However there is also 'Gloomy Sunday' aka The Hungarian Suicide Song, which was allegedly banned by various radio stations because it is just so depressing.

Haunting song that accompanied the Live Aid video showing the starving children in Africa.
I challenge anyone to admit they're not moved to tears when watching that heartbreaking footage with this song playing.
SO emotional.
That's the one Cardinal
