    Yes, this one. I'm surprised it wasn't first on the list. I'll have to check out that Jeff Buckley song though: "You should have come over."
    Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven.

    When I was a kid I could not listen to "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro.
    Now that I'm older and have my own life experiences, my current heartbreakers are Someone like You by Adele and Cry by Faith Hill.

    Someone Like You - Adele
    I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie
    Beautiful Boy - John Lennon
    Hey Jude - the Beatles (the reason I want to name my son - if I ever have one - Julian)

    That's all I really can think of off the top of my head right now...

    "Murder by Mistletoe" by The Felice Brothers. Such a hearty, sad song.

    My Immortal by Evanescence - sad on its own, but even more difficult for me because it was played at my 19 year old cousin's funeral, (suicide)

    The Long Good Bye by Brooks and Dunn

    The saddest song I know is Lay Me Down by Hanson. Hearing it live was much worse. It makes me cry every time.

    The Arms Of an Angel, by Sarah McLaughlin

    The first time I heard it was the video that was made for the Every 15 Minutes Program that my daughter participated in. She was the one that was killed by the drunk driver and we had to go to the funeral home and then they did a funeral in the school gym. Song gets me every time.
    They use it for the Humane Society Commercial, too.

    goodbye by the pain killers

    i came accross this song watching the tv series of "the crow"

    a sad song and even more so in the context of the show where the woman was killed along side her daughter and she has come back to avenge her death. at the end of the ep the song is playing with her "reuniting" with her daughter.

    and in the context of the show

    if you like sad songs, than click the links. its fine to read the lyrics, but you can almost hear the pain in her voice when she sings it.


    I'm dead inside but still alive
    My soul it bleeds internally
    Thirsting for a sip of your smile
    A year ago like yesterday
    Lord you know how hard I prayed
    Make you stay here for awhile

    Cause life was better with you here
    I know it'll take some time
    to fully heal
    before I say
    Goodbye

    Unwanted change is moving on
    Holding on to everything
    Just to be your thoughts for awhile
    A year ago like yesterday
    Lord you know I'd give up anything
    Just to have you here for awhile

    Even when I lied you were mine

    Even when you died you were mine

    Life was better with you here
    I know it will take some time
    to fully heal
    before I say Goodbye

    I've got to heal

    Before I say

    Before you say

    Before we say

    Goodbye
