The saddest song..
trolley:
Not sad as in "boo hoo my girlfriend left me and my guitar string snapped", but as in "wow, thats beautiful, but i think i'm gonna cry at it's awesomeness".
For me, at the moment, Fix You by Coldplay is the most beautiful and sad song, puts a bloody great lump in my throat everytime I hear it. I may be biased as it was in a particularly poigniant death scene on tv the other day, but it really is a tear-jerker.

I may be biased as I am currently listening to it, but:
Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Hades Pluton
--- Quote ---I dreamt that I was lying on the bottom
of the dark and never-ending sea,
on a bed that my dead lover was preparing
with his own skeleton for me ...
("...bring us a goat and we'll show you the way
straight through the realm of the fallen and slain ...")
I sensed the wretched spectres of the drowned
staring across from some distant shore,
and in my sadness I drew closer,
to console and somewhat to implore ...
I am like the doubtful kiss of a corpse
or maybe the kiss of an ancient stone.
Yes, it's like kissing some marble statue
that has neither warmth nor life of its own....
("...down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound, on the cell where your love might be found ...")
COVER THE MIRRORS, FRAGILE HAS DIED,
LEAVING BUT A STARLESS RUIN BEHIND!
SHATTER THE MIRRORS, SO THAT HE CAN NEVER BE CALLED
BACK FROM THE BLESSED SILENCE OF HIS SCARED VAULT ...
No, no, no...- put an end to the show!
I'm going back to the land where the bone-flowers grow,
to "the wild, weird clime that lieth, sublime,
out of Space and out of Time" ...
See the shape, but can't see through,
no-one can ever hate me as well as I do.
Know when to throw a laugh, know how to force a smile,
whatever the intention ...- I'm such a "friendly" lie!
("...bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him, it shall open the gates, so we can sneak you in...")
"Bring us a goat and we'll show you the way straight through the realm of the fallen and slain. Down, further down, where the gloom becomes sound, on to the cell, where your love might be found ... Bring us only this goat and we'll lead you to him, it will open the gates, so we can sneak you in. Oh, it's cold and so dark here, and you must keep in mind, no-one can get you out, if you overstep time...!"

Bloody beautiful.

nothing to lose by Billy Talent
very sad, but a little cliche
--- Quote ---Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I’d always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
Never played truth or dare
I’d have to check my mirror
To see if I’m still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
Teachers said "it's just a phase"
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who'd know it put me underground at seventeen
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
There’s nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to gain
And I can’t fight the pain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
But the days don’t seem to change
My notebook will explain
There’s nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There’s nothing to gain
And I just died today
--- End quote ---
after reading through the lyrics, it seems like the dude's voice probably has a lot to do with it
EDIT: it the lunches alone in the bathroom line that gets me, i can picture how aweful that would feel...think about it, you'll get it

People have told me Pearl Jam's Jeremy is really sad. These people tend to be wrong.
