Saddest Song You've Ever Heard

"Goodbye Geno, Dreams Through Window Stars" from Super Mario RPG.
This.
No, I'm not kidding.
Every time I hear it, it makes me sob. That's not an exaggeration.
As sad as other songs may be, nothing can ever match its power.
Take that, anyone who doesn't treat video game music as legitimate music.

You are now imagining the RBY Elite 4 theme.
I have been waiting for this thread for like EVER. I have a list of songs I think are incredibly, incredibly sad. In no particular order:
1. Top Of The World by The Dixie Chicks
It's about an old man who spent his whole life spiting people and then realizes when he gets old that he wasted it all and he wishes that he could make things right.
2. Don't Laugh At Me by Mark Willis
This song is about people who suffer and basically is about them asking to be treated with respect.
3. Letter To Dana by Sonata Arctica
Oh god this song makes me cry all the time. It's about a man who is in love with a young girl. In the first verse, they're young, and he's writing a letter to her about how her father died and that he didn't expect to see her on a porno magazine and how it makes him sad. In the second verse, they're a bit older, and he writes to tell her that her mom died and that her father forgave her before he died for being in a nudie mag and that her mom's final wish was for her to visit her father's grave. The third verse is him saying that he told her he'd love her forever, but now he knows someone else loves her, and he promises not to write again until it's her turn. In the last verse, he says that he heard she passed away and that he's old now and wishes his Dana was here. Honestly, description does it no justice, you just have to listen to it.
4. A Quitter by Rasputina
It doesn't get much sadder than a suicide note.
5. Say My Name by Within Temptation
Another incredibly sad love song, this time from the point of view of a girl reminiscing about her childhood and trying to get a guy with amnesia to remember all the things they had together.
6. If You Don't Wanna Love Me by Cowboy Junkie
This song is about a couple of people who are tired of being ignored by those they care about.
7. Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys
Yeah, it sounds optimistic, but if you listen to the words, it's the sad desires of people in love who want to be together but can't because they're too young.
8. Patches by Dickey Lee
Another one about lovers. This time, it's a guy who is in love with a poor girl. He says that he plans to marry her, but his parents won't let him, and in the last verse, he finds out that his beloved has drowned herself, and he decides to join her in death.
9. Unloved by Jann Arden
This is just pure sad. The title explains it all - it's about a couple of people who are unloved and sort of forgotten by the world.

Theme of Love from Mother 3. It's just depressing...

Don't Leave Me Now by Pink Floyd is one of the songs songs I cam symapthize with despite never having been in that situation.
Slipping Through my Fingers by ABBA made me cry once because I don't want to grow old and be all "go away parents".
Without You by Badfinger completes my trilogy of sad songs. I could live without the other versions (except maybe Ken Lee because I need to laugh now and then) because this one makes me sympathise with the guy who did it. The two songwriters ended up suiciding over this song.

Understanding by Evanescence is really sad. I'm not quite sure what it's about, but it seems like there are star-crossed lovers, and the narator needs to sacifice herself. Anyway look up the lyrics and listen to it.

Uh... sad song. Well... I'm not sure a song in and of itself has ever made me bawl or anything, but I will forever find The Lion Sleeps Tonight depressing. They played it at my uncle's funeral, but instead of the incredibly awesome version by Lebo M they played the stupid campy version with the high voices and UGH. Now whenever I hear it I get depressing memories and anger at the morons who obviously can't choose decent-sounding music for an effing funeral.
And I guess Piano Man by Billy Joel makes me go "awwww D:" sometimes... maybe that one early one by Eminem (who I usually don't like at all)... "Confessions" or something? The one about that obsessed fan. That one also illicits an "awwww D:". But other than that I really don't know.

I CANNOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. Especially that last one. It always seems to make me and my mom cry for some reason. :/
But the one I wanted to mention here is:
What Hurts the Most - Rascal Flatts
I don't know why, but this song always seems to trigger some especially painful memories... *sigh*

I'd say go for it. Evanescence is shit but that album isn't.

I think that Mad World by Gary Jules is a very sad song. Whenever I hear it, I just start crying. It's from this one movie, Donnie Darko, which is very awesome.
OK, TIME FOR IRK TO BE PATHETIC!
... mentioned "Slipping Through My Fingers". Yes. D= I was walking on a wood trail this weekend with my iPod, that song came on, and for some reason I plopped myself down on a rock and cried for the length of the song. I suck. Also Abba, "The Winner Takes It All". The story behind it is depressing, but even before I heard Abba's version, before I knew the story behind it, when I just knew a random Eurodance band cover... it got me weepy somehow. Learning the story just made it WORSE.
Besides Abba...
"Where The Wild Roses Grow" by Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave. It's just odd when my Kylie playlist goes "silly 80's song" "Locomotion" "90's cheese dance" "goopy love ballad" "heavy present-day dance beat" "song about a guy making a girl fall in love with him for the sole purpose of beating her to death with a rock" I know Nick Cave's stuff is usually like that, but when I first heard the song, I had no idea who Nick Cave even WAS. It came as a bit of a shock.
"The Chosen" by Voltaire. Voltaire is one of those singers that I listen to even though by all logic, I know I really shouldn't like. I listen to AQUA for crying out loud. But "The Chosen"... it's a wonderfully written song, music and lyrics... and I can't listen to it. At ALL. Freaks me out too badly.
"World In Your Hands" by Culture Beat. The same act that brought "Mr. Vain" into the world sang a song about suicide. It's just some serious mood whiplash.
"Pop Preludium" by E-type. Denniz Pop was awesome. Then he died at the age of 35. ;-; Just a little minute-and-a-half piano piece written as a tribute by one of the acts he produced... it's not so much the song itself as it is knowing where it's coming from.
"Back Home" by Captain Jack. Before October 2005, it was their first album's obligatory ballad that I didn't much care for one way or another. Then Franky Gee died and it just took on a new meaning. Yet another "not the song itself, just an association I make". C'mon, cool Eurodance people, stop it with the whole dying thing...

To be fair to them their last album actually wasn't bad excluding that song. Nowhere near as good as Rust In Peace or Countdown or anything, but a vast improvement on the crap they've churned out since Youthanasia.
