Aimee Mann - Wise Up
Stops me in my tracks every time, probably do to its use in Magnolia where I first heard it.
Definitely agree with this. The song on its own is pretty good but the way it was used in Magnolia was pure genius. I normally can't stand Tom Cruise but he absolutely blew me away in that film.Stops me in my tracks every time, probably do to its use in Magnolia where I first heard it.
I think 'Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space' by Spiritualized has to be my personal sad song 'favourite' (if that isn't a bit weird). I was listening to the album a lot around the time my first serious girlfriend dumped me when I was 18. bh!
Alter Bridge - In Loving Memory

Written by the guitarist of the band after his mother died I have no idea how he ever manages to perform it, this song nearly killed me after my dad died, yet ultimately went on to help me deal with things.
Probably best not to click the link if you've lost someone recently.

Not so much sad, but certainly melancholy Simple Minds
Probably sad due to the reason behind the release of this cover version Roxy Music (Excuse the advert at the beginning!)

Listened to all of these out of curiosity, as despite no titles, I noticed that one of the links (Man Of The World) had already been visited in my browser history... Fantastic selection!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miH5tDoGNV4

Another suggestion, Bon Iver - Skinny Love. Listen to this live version, a mixture of anger, frustration and fear...

What to you is the saddest song you have heard?
I nominate - Luther Vandross; Dance with my Father.
Maybe not the saddest I've ever heard but tugs at the old heart if you have ever lost a parent
Indeed - on my list of songs that bring a tear to the eye. Bizarrely I have a whole list, or a bizarre list:I nominate - Luther Vandross; Dance with my Father.
Maybe not the saddest I've ever heard but tugs at the old heart if you have ever lost a parent
As mentioned - Luther Vandross; Dance with my Father.
Mike + Mechanics; Living Years
Olivia Newton John; Banks Of The Ohio (!?)
Bette Middler; The Rose
Frank Mills; Music Box Dancer (no idea why - maybe because she's on a music box and can't escape!)
Abba; The Day Before You Came
Frightened Rabbit - Poke Bitter, funny and sad.
