Given the unusually high number of suicides and deaths at my high school in the past three or four years, The Pass by Rush strikes a particularly strong chord with me.

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby, always manages to render me uncomfortable.

Don't Cry Joni (Conway Twitty)

I recently heard "Puff, the Magic Dragon" for the first time in 25 years (I'm now 32), and, almost from the start, tears streamed down my face. I rarely cry while listening to music, so it took me aback... After analyzing my reaction, I realized that the song takes me back to my first real confrontation with the grim reality of growing older and having to put childish things away. I remember as a child when I saw the 30-minute cartoon special that I felt so sad afterwards... I didn't want Jackie Paper to forsake poor Puff; "please don't grow older, Jackie" I remember thinking... Those same intense feelings of sadness--clearly deeply-rooted--gathered around me like dark storm clouds as I listened just the other day, and, I can say, unequivocally, that "Puff" is by far the saddest song that I have ever heard, not only due to its subject matter, but also due to its morose instrumentation and melody.

Tears in heaven by Eric Clapton. Its about his son that died.

 

[ZephyrSapphire]

Nothing from the English lyric world makes is that sad enough compared to Dir en Grey - Namamekashiki Ansoku, Tamerai Ni Hohoemi
No I am not joking. Even "tears in heaven" or "Candle In The Wind" is not as sad as that song. IMO.

 

[Kilane]

Written by Tears for Fears, but I think Gary Jules rendition of Mad World is up there.

Priests and Paramedics by Pedro the Lion gets my vote though.

 

[Lamora]

"Good Night Sweet Girl" by Ghost of the Robot

Also the "hidden track" after Bee Girl on Pearl Jams Lost Dogs compilation. Written by Eddie Vedder when he heard of Layne Staleys death.

The opening track to the Drive-By Truckers latest album is pretty sad. Not the saddest song ever written, but sad none-the-less.

TWO DAUGHTERS AND A BEAUTIFUL WIFE

When he reached the gates of heaven
He didn’t understand
He knew that folks were coming over
Or was it all a dream?
Was it all a crazy dream?

He saw them playing there before him
What were they doing there?
It felt like home, It must be alright
Or is it just a dream?
Is it just a crazy dream?

Memories replay before him
All the tiny moments of his life
Laying round in bed on a Saturday morning
Two daughters and a wife
Two daughters and a beautiful wife

Meanwhile on Earth his friends came over
Shocked and horrified
Dolls and flowers at the storefront
Everybody cried
Everybody cried and cried

Is there vengeance up in heaven?
Are those things left behind?
Maybe everyday is Saturday morning
Two daughters and a wife
Two daughters and a beautiful wife
Two daughters and a beautiful wife
