What do you think is the saddest song ever?

The Replacements - Sadly Beautiful

 

Another One Bites the Dust.

 

I've already posted a few but have omitted (and nobody else has posted) Losing You by Brenda Lee:

 

^Beautiful!

 

Kentucky Avenue does me in everytime....

 

That's incredible.

 

The Hollies' "Cable Car" (from Distant Light).

 

We have a winner.

 

Just stambled upon another unquestionable winner:

Saint-Saens - The Swan (Carnival of the Animals)

 

Joni Mitchell - 'Little Green'

 

The first time I heard Marie was the Willie Nelson version, I was working in the garage and I had to sit down about half way through

 

My saddest song ever has no words.

 

^Thanks! That's a no-brainer.

 

David Bowie - Lazarus

 

This is one of the saddest songs to me. "One time I trusted a stranger 'cause I heard his sweet song..."

This is definitely worth listening to, I get a strong Brian Wilson vibe; a great song by Judee Sill definitively performed by The Hollies (or The Gollies as I just typed).

 

New contender

 

Probably makes many angry but for me, Neil Young's "Ohio" makes me emotional and sad every time I hear it.

 

Still the saddest song i've ever heard, yet it fills me with such comfort. Brilliant song, really one for the ages. I'm a massive fan of Pet Sounds and Smile, but I feel like THIS exact song is what I'll remember Brian Wilson by. Stunning.

 

Please Pass the Biscuits, Jimmy Dean:

 

This.
