Saddest Good Song?

Yes! That and Stop Coming to My House are some of the saddest songs I know.
LadyValerie:
Cure by Tristania is a pretty sad, and moving song. It's beautiful.
Narr:
I have had a few very powerful emotional reactions in my life time, but I cannot remember the situations regarding them, the name of the song, or even the name of the band.
I do vagely recall crying while hearing A Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief while I was at the jailhouse where Joseph Smith was murdered. I was pretty overcome with emotion. I think even if you are someone that disagrees with my religion on every level, it's hard to argue that he wasn't a good man, and he didn't deserve to die the way he did.
But I have a feeling this thread is more about contemporary music, or rather, non-gospel songs. And like I said, I can't really recall any... I want to say Stone Temple Pilots had a hand in making me tear up (or as close to it as I get... I sort of just get really melancholy and kind of absorb into myself) at one point, though.
Jedit:
--- Quote from: Tearon ---Pink Floyd- Comfortably Dumb
The Decemberists- The Bus Mall
Sigur Ros- Saglpur
That last one was probabaly a ridiculous mispelling.

The first one was a ridiculous misspelling. Not sure why you'd find it sad, either.

Oh god, there are so many!
On one hand, we have innocent-sounding pop songs with heartbreaking lyrics:
The Boy Least Likely To -- "My Tiger My Heart"
The Magnetic Fields -- "100,000 Fireflies"
The Beach Boys -- "Sloop John B." (if you don't think this is sad, wait 'till you're deadly homesick and you will be sobbing along, srsly)
On the other, we have all-around tragic songs:
Broken Social Scene -- "Anthems For A 17 Year Old Girl"
Stars -- "Your Ex Lover Is Dead"
The Weakerthans -- "Left and Leaving" (seconding whomever said this earlier)
Sigur Ros -- "Untitled 3" from the album ()
The Magic Numbers -- "This Love"
For a calm sad, you might want to put on a Regina Spektor cd, her voice is good for those kinds of moods. If you're angry sad, put on some Matson Jones, it's AMAZING.
