    "Sister" by Dave Matthews. It's to his sister, who was murdered by her husband.

    Just thinking about that really gets to me.

    Dust in the Wind by Kansas and Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah both move me.

    I notice a lot of country songs on this list.

    What Sara Said, by Death Cab for Cutie. It gets me every time.

    "In the arms of an angel", by Sarah Mclachlan.

    Speaks of loss, endlessness, and sweet release.

    This song is about heroine addiction. Knowing this was the only way I got through singing it at my niece's funeral. My SIL picked it.

    These Days Jackson Browne

    These days I seem to think alot
    About the things that I forgot to do for you
    And all the times I had the chance to...

    ...Don't confront me with my failures
    I had not forgotten them.

    James Blunt's "No Bravery" was always super sad to me.

    James Blunt's "No Bravery" was always super sad to me.

    And on that note, "Goodbye My Lover" is incredibly sad as well. Perhaps it was because I heard it was about the love of his life dying (don't know if that's true or not.) And "Hear You Me" by Jimmy Eat World.

    And I still love the crap out of all these super sad songs.

    With so many country fans on here, I'm surprised no one's mentioned "Raymond" by Brett Eldredge. The video gets me every time:
