Much the same for me.

Also

Most of the songs off Nine Inch Nails- Still album, with the last few instrumentals being the most powerful, as far as sad songs go

 

[dr.morton]

The "Ententanz" (Duckdance???).
It makes me so sad that something so stupid became such a success.
And there are many more...

man, that video gave me the chills; he exerts a lot of emotion in that song. Bic Runga does an excellent cover of his song.

here's one to suggest:

I Will Wait For You -- Connie Francis

i listened to it recently in a Futurama episode, "Jurassic Bark". near the end, if don't cry during that, you're not human.

Barber's Adagio for Strings...

Still Life by Opeth, the whole album.

Also, it may or may not have been mentioned already, but I feel that Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" is quite a dark, sad song.

Norther - Omen

it just is to me

 

[SONGsanmanwah]

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World

Once you've reached certain age and know what it's like having and losing ones you love. His interpretation is so sad yet so beautiful to me.

[034936]

a perfect sonnet - bright eyes
greeaattt song, very pessimistic lyrics with harsh melancholy vocals.

something in the way - nirvana
used in the film jarhead, possibly the gloomiest song ive ever heard, strongly recommended

3 libras - a perfect circle
a poetic retelling of an unfortunate seduction - bright eyes
poison oak - bright eyes

....maybe just bright eyes in general
