"When I am laid in earth", from Purcell's Dido & Aeneas
This is a particularly poignant version, if you have a spare 4 minutes

Here's another anti war song & the best one for me. Another Eric Bogle composition. Sad for sure.

I was at Live Aid and cannot listen to that song without going back to that day, makes me cry every timeFanny Fanackapan said:Drive - The Cars.
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.2 -
Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars - played at my brothers funeral so not necessarily the song just the feelings it brings back
The Verve, Drugs Don't Work - reminds me of my father in law and his battle against cancer
David Bowie, Lazarus - first line 'Look up here I'm in heaven', get's me every single time1 -
On the Bowie front... 'Letter to Hermione' fitted at the time with my sad teenage angst.BowieAddick said:Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars - played at my brothers funeral so not necessarily the song just the feelings it brings back

Shed a few tears to this.
I must have been sexually mature at a very early age. I was eight when this came out, ladies, if you know what I mean.

Great song but can't stand OÇonnor, self absorbed oxygen thief1

"Lick my love pump" by Spinal tap. It's in Dminor the saddest of all keys.6

One of the greatest songs of all time.Salad said:
Tim Buckley (the original) is also great, but different.
Liz Fraser (the singer for this Mortal Coil) actually bonded with Jeff Buckley (Tim's son) after Tim died, largely as a consequence of her covering his dad's song and they started a relationship, which didn't last all that long.
Jeff (a fantastic musician himself) then died crossing the Mississippi River, trying to swim across it...1 -

Anyway, for me, and a couple of these are a bit out there but worth a listen: Edit: I've spent too much of my life listening to sad songs... Capital Radio from now on. Bold are the ones that hit me the most.
Wish You were Here - Pink Floyd, a song I can barely think of without a tear appearing in my eye. A song that reminds me of both my father and my grandfather.
The Silent Chorus - John Maus - fantastic
Fond Affections - This Mortal Coil
Collapse - Zola Jesus
The Deserters - Rachel Zeffira
Before - First Hate - another one I struggle to listen to.
Notebook - Majical Cloudz - as above.
Take me up - Ritual Howls
Weighed Down - The Horrors
Decades - Joy Division
Heaven - Talking Heads
Missing Sibling - Black Marble
Highway Road - Interlude - Bobby Raps
Big City Life - Dead Confederate.
Something for everyone there.... If you love one in the list, you'll probably like the others.0
