Most Depressing/Saddest Song?

For all we know - Donnie Hathaway

Beautiful but depressing.

Long Black Veil

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light

There were few at the scene, but they all agreed

That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

The judge said son, what is your alibi

If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die

I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life

For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

Chorus

She walks these hills in a long black veil

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

Nobody knows, nobody sees

Nobody knows but me

Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

But late at night, when the north wind blows

In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones

Repeat Chorus

This is a ole' tradional song...Everyone from Lefty Frizzell, Johnny Cash to the Dave Matthews Band, plus many more has covered this song

Any Nick Drake song also...Long live Nick!!

Well I'd agree with Johnny Cash's Hurt. I know it was a cover but I never heard NIN's version and I know Cash did the song basically by his life. In a sense I didn't think Skin(Sara Beth) was all that sad because I listen to the idea of the ending as well. One of the saddest though to me is Old Hippie by the Bellamy Brothers. Yeah not the traditional sad song but if you listen to it or the second version(although I think they kept the same name) it is really sad.

Oh and someone saying about Long Black Veil reminds me of Confederate Railroad's song "Three Verses".

Bird Is The Word by Peter Griffin Spongebob Squarepants theme song The Lion Sleeps Tonight Axel F. by Crazy Frog

True Blue by John Williamson, not so much the song but the fact it has been used in a lot of the tributes to Steve Irwin. It will always be a song that brings a tear to my eye.

Lush Life - John Coltrane

That old 70's song, "Seasons In The Sun", by Terry Jacks.

What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts

its an old song, I'm not sure though if I got the titles correctly.. "Tell Laura I love her" and "Dont Cry Joni".. and the 2 songs thats I really like best are.... "Alone Again, Naturally" and "Tears in Heaven" ... These songs really makes me sad when I hear them play on the radio..
