Nick Cave's original, is equally sad/haunting.

Haven't heard but the No more shall we part by Nick Cave and the bad seeds is very haunting and sad.....

agreed ablett- he's got the sort of voice, that would
make 'oh happy day' sad and mournful

I'd expected to see all the songs of Tom Waits here. Maybe he has some uplifting songs but man, i do get down, i a good way, when i listen to him!

Cheers,
Wuudy

Tom Waits "Martha"
Rickie Lee Jones "Skeletons"

Foi Na Cruz & The Weeping Song is pretty sad songs by Cave.

This song is an absolute weeper for me too - mainly because I can't help but think of Elvis' state of mind at the time.
Beautiful choice.
