Saddest Song You've Ever Heard

Vermillion Pt. 2 by Slipknot. I don't usually listen to Slipknot, but the song always gets me. Also, Krwlng by Linkin Park is a beautiful but sad song.
 
Huh, I could have sworn I posted this here.

Evanescence's Hello. :/ I'm not a huge fan of them, but this song is just the saddest song I have ever heard. Especially since it's about the singer's baby sister, who died. ;_;
 
Lol, of all of these "sad songs" threads, the original is the one that was revived. Oh, well, may as well post one I've never posted before.

Turn of the Century - Yes

This song is so bittersweet. It never fails to make me tear up, and it's probably my favorite love song ever.
 
Has nobody mentioned Concrete Angel by Martina McBride? Nobody?
Fucking saddest song.

I tend not to watch the video at all ever because it makes me terribly sad for hours upon hours afterward. But there it is for those who haven't seen it.
I mean srsly, every time I think about that song, or at least every time I remember how it ends, my depression switch is flipped on.
And I haven't gotten through the video once without at least mildly tearing up.


ALSO that commercial animal planet aired for a while about that animal rescue place where the commercial showed a bunch of fuckin' sad animals with In The Arms of an Angel by Sarah Mclachlan playing in the background. I can't find the commercial but anyone who's seen it will immediately know what I'm talking about.

Stfu, animal planet, you know very well I don't have the money to adopt every single sad animal ever. Stop making me think I want to. >:((

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.
Really, I've never thought of this as a sad song. Heard it some small number of times, but... maybe I'm listening to it the wrong way.

Now, Dust in the Wind, by Kansas, that's a song that can get me to feeling sad. It's a beautiful song, a great song, but dang, it can be depressing.
Eleanor Rigby, by the Beatles, is another beautiful song (also featuring orchestral strings) that can be rather depressing, but it's not quite as upsetting as Dust in the Wind, I think.
