    I saw a documentary about "10 Saddest Songs Ever" on C4 some years back, and while I cant remember the full list, it was along the lines of

    1. Crying by Roy Orbison
    2. Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen
    3. The Winner Takes It All by Abba
    4. Walk on By by Dionne Warwick,

    other songs that were mentioned include Everytime You Go Away, Everybody Hurts, cant remember the rest

    This one is rather longish but it is an incredible song and quite tragic...Nothing comes close to Hip Hop in terms of getting emotions and thoughts down on paper and into a song

    My mum still cannot listen to this song...too close to the bone for her.
    But it is a great song.
    Back story - from wiki.
    Phil Coulter's first son was born with Down's syndrome; several months later he wrote the song "Scorn Not His Simplicity" about his experiences with his son's disorder.[3][4] He first played the song to Luke Kelly. Because of the personal nature of the song, Luke Kelly felt that the song should not be sung except for special occasions, and not on every performance

    Ok, that's it. Pighead's let seven or eight song choices go in this thread that have flirted very close to the 'not sad at all' section but the above tune takes the absolute biscuit.

    For starters here's a line in it that reads "But oh, love is strange and you have to learn to take the crunchy
    With the smooth I suppose, she began going out with Mr. Potato Head"

    Sorry but calling anybody Mr. Potato Head is hilarious. Not sad.

    Pighead was waiting for the moment when the song turned from farce to sadness but it ever ever came. Instead the song ended with these ridiculous words

    "And then one day it happened
    She cut her hair
    And I stopped loving her"

    Sorry but Pighead can not shed a tear over some loony who stops loving a woman over a haircut. Edit your post and put in something from The Smiths.

    Very very sorry. Edited now with added sun kil moon.
    I love Billy Bragg, but there you go.

    No problem Thundercats. It's just the 'Mr Potato Head' line made Pighead chuckle and he felt as though he were cheating the thread.

    I'm like that with the song The Living Years. The lyrics of some songs can be hard to listen to at times for sure.

    I still find that one hard to listen to tbh, reminds me of someone I wish I'd never met.

    Great choices, Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest was my pick for what would be my burial song :D

    Mentioned it on another thread definitely, but almost all of Pet Sounds has this dark undertone of sadness and despair. It gets more fascinating with each listen. This song typifies it.
