      Crestfallen by Smashing Pumpkins
      Cats in the Cradle by Cat Stevens
      Lover's Cross by Jim Croce

      My favorite song to sing when sad is Long Long Time by Linda Ronstadt, because you can really wail out your sorrows with that one!

      Last Kiss by Pearl Jam breaks my heart every time.

      That is a good sad song, but I like the version by J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers better than the Pearl Jam version.

      How on earth did I forget "Tootie" by Hootie & the Blowfish? I even acknowledged the person who was sobbing for Hootie in the shower.

      I'm totally making myself a new Spotify playlist with a bunch of these songs in it, and calling it Sad Panda.

      Agreed. Love PJ, but the original was better.

      Not that PJ doesn't have its share of original songs that fit this list! for some reason, my mind is blank even though there are a million I know I could recommend.

      Mother & Child Reunion - Paul Simon

      I worked in an Animal Hospital for many years. There was a surgery tech I worked with who was usually an irreverent crack up. Really, she said some unreal crazy funny *kitten* at the worst times. She had some amazing comic timing that would make you crack a smile at the saddest times.

      One day, there was a middle aged dog, about 8 I think, who had an exploratory that day & his insides were just ugly =( The owners opted not to euthanize, however, the dog was in such bad shape, he never recovered.

      After doing everything she could to make him comfortable, we did what we could while the family rushed to see him before he expired. She brushed his face sweetly as she passed him & said ' your mommy is calling you back home, isn't she?'

      It was a sad & random thing, but after hearing Mother & Child Reunion for years & years, it occurred to me she was right.

      Sure enough, I googled the song & it was about the day Paul Simon had to euthanize his family dog. :brokenheart:

      Still can't listen to it without blubbering :tongue:
      Um, couldn't read your post without blubbering. :sad:

      Breathe Me - Sia
