It's standard fare for Remeberance Sunday up and down the country for a reason.

See, I've always found that romantic rather than sad (still a wonderful piece, though)agree with loads on here with their choices.
mine,
venicequeen, by the red hot chili peppers. the song tells the story of gloria scott, who i think helped the band clean themselves up from their wilder days, with drugs and stuff. she then became a close friend of the band. she got cancer, and her wish was to live out the rest of her days looking over venice beach i believe.
so the band got her a condo with said view for the rest of her days.
lyrics in the song, kind of tell her story, and what she meant to the band, its a cracking track.
lost my mum to cancer, and for me personally the words are spot on too what my mum meant to me, there is a cracking version of the song, live, on youtube, when the band played slane castle. can't watch it to this day without abit of grit getting in my eye.
also,
acoustic version of my hero, by the foo fighters.
played at my dads funeral this year,

An incredibly moving piece of music. I've always preferred it played by a military brass band. It's standard fare for Remeberance Sunday up and down the country for a reason.

"Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor" by Eels

about his sister's suicide (after a totally wasted, dysfunctional life - closing lyrics, "My life is st and piss" and then the heart beat beep stopping) seen from her point of view as it happens.
How he could write something so personal from this viewpoint - and especially perform it live later - is beyond me. Cathartic maybe but must have been heart wrenching.

Okkervil River - Westfall
Sad and Haunting. It's about an actual murder, from the murderer's perspective. I've got a live version somewhere that is far better than the studio version, but I can't find it on YT.
John K Sampson - Maryland Bridge
Whattya mean I like singers who are terrible at singing?
