Baboon: Not that I consider my own suicidal talents very well developed, but still I'm glad that I do not speak any Viking languages...

That's a good one, but don't forget Sinatra's "Only The Lonely" album. Another classic and very sad too.

Point taken, Adrian. From that perspective, it is very sad. By the way, True Love Ways was my wedding song.

Can't believe I forgot that one! What a song. Jesus, does Elvis sing the hell out of it, too - it's his own story.

I definitely get a lump in the throat if I hear that one after a drink or two.

It's A Heartache ............. Bonnie Tyler

I can't believe I haven't seen theses ones yet, or at least this guy yet.

He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones
The Grand Tour - George Jones

Two of the dang saddest songs you'll ever hear.
Keith did right to hook up with George. Those two guys have a lot in common. Very unusual when you think about it. Not too many have survived the wringer those boys have been through.

Mr. Bojangles can also be a sad song although I love the song.

The desperate kingdom of love PJ Harvey

No Expectations - Stones
Not Dark Yet - Dylan
It´s All Over Now , Baby Blue - Them (version)

been thinking 5 seconds, these are the first 3 that come to mind

Fake plastic trees-Radiohead
Sonnet- The Verve
The drugs don`t work

Raining In Darling - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I'd like to hear that song "Raining in darling" just for it's title.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Here you go, Chelsea.

My personal top 10 saddest in no particular order:

No Expectations - Stones
Moonlight Mile - Stones
The Drugs Don't Work - Verve
Wild Horses - Stones and the Sundays version as well
I'm Only Sleeping - Beatles
Golden Slumbers - Beatles
Hey Jude - Beatles
God Knows I'm Good - Bowie
New Year's Day - U2
The Crystal Ship - Doors

I'm Looking Through You - Beatles

I'm a huge Jim Croce fan but he has a lot of sad songs;

"Time In A Bottle"
"Alabama Rain"
"It Doesn't Have To Be That Way"
"These Dreams"
