      Tears for Fears but I like the version from Gary Jules

      "Mad World"

      All around me are familiar faces
      Worn out places, worn out faces
      Bright and early for their daily races
      Going nowhere, going nowhere
      And their tears are filling up their glasses
      No expression, no expression
      Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
      No tomorrow, no tomorrow
      And I find it kind of funny
      I find it kind of sad
      The dreams in which I'm dying
      Are the best I've ever had
      I find it hard to tell you
      'Cos I find it hard to take
      When people run in circles
      It's a very, very
      Mad World
      Children waiting for the day they feel good
      Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
      Made to feel the way that every child should
      Sit and listen, sit and listen
      Went to school and I was very nervous
      No one knew me, no one knew me
      Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
      Look right through me, look right through me

      Love the Gary Jules version! Sometimes the person covering the song does a better job!

      Kim Richey - A Place Called Home

      Someday I'll go
      Where there ain't no rain or snow
      'Till then
      I travel alone
      And I make my bed
      With the stars above my head
      And dream of a place called home

      Used to sing this as a lullabye to my daughter. They played it on Angel after Fred died.

      I checked it out.. it sounds similar... but for me since I heard the Rascal Flatts version first.. it just sounds better to me. Still a great song tho!

      Miricles by Stone Sour.

      While it is obviously about someone falling out of love the chorus reminds me of how I was feeling in the final days before my mom passed. My family would talk about having faith and praying as my mom was a devout Christian. As hard as I tried I just couldn't get behind that. Miracles don't happen here.

      This acoustic version makes me tear up still a year later - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syXJvzQ2reI

      I know it's corny, but "Patches" by Johnny Cash always gets to me. Also, "Operator", by Jim Croce.

      Another great country song

      Probably wouldn't be this way by Leann Rimes. Excellent video too

      I don't have any personal connection to this song, but it's THE saddest I've ever known.

      Stevie Wonder's "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer"

      The lyrics are sad, the piano is sad, but it's his voice that brings it home. He almost sounds like he's crying as he sings it. And the way he sings the last line is heart-breaking.

      My heart will go on, I could never hear it when I was pregnant. Once I was at a store and it was being played on the overhead and I was with my sister, she was in another isle and she knew how it made me cry and when she realized that the song was playing she was running all over the place until she found me, crying of course...this always brings a smile to my face to remember her caring so much for her at the time pregnant sister :blushing:

      The first song that came to mind is Leader of The Pack by The Shangri-Las. It's an oldie. More recently is Even Angels Cry by Jars of Clay. I'm not sure what the song is about yet but it sure is sad.

      DeVotchKa - How It Ends. It has been overused by movies, commercials, and TV shows since I first fell in love with the song, but it still tugs.

      American Pie - Don McClean

      "I met a girl who sang the blues
      And I asked her for some happy news,
      But she just smiled and turned away.
      I went down to the sacred store
      Where I’d heard the music years before,
      But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.

      And in the streets: the children screamed,
      The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
      But not a word was spoken;
      The church bells all were broken..." *FEELING THE SNIFFLES*

      Also by good old Don: Vincent

      "Now I understand
      What you tried to say, to me
      And how you suffered for your sanity
      And how you tried to set them free:
      They would not listen; they did not know how--
      Perhaps they'll listen now.

      For they could not love you
      But still, your love was true
      And when no hope was left inside
      On that starry, starry night
      You took your life as lovers often do--
      But I could've told you, Vincent:
      This world was never meant
      For one as beautiful as you...." *SAD FOR VINCENT VAN GOGH*

      The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

      "Does any one know where the love of God goes
      when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
      The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
      if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
      They might have split up or they might have capsized;
      they may have broke deep and took water.
      And all that remains is the faces and the names
      of the wives and the sons and the daughters....

      In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
      in the "Maritime Sailors' Cathedral."
      The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
      for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald..." *HOW SAD FOR THEIR FAMILIES, SNIFFLES AGAIN*
