Saddest music you've ever heard

I can think of sad metal songs...

The Day You Died By Arch Enemy is nice.

Run by Snow Patrol is another nice sad song.
 
still got the blues by gary moore...

when i let my friends listen to that song, they always say, "ah" at the first four notes... its a classic man...

'I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine'

I first heard "No one there" quite a number of years ago. Quite an old song, but it was played on the discontinued (I think?) MTV show After School Rocks and thinking about my grandparents, I actually cried. Its one of the few songs that actually made me cry. :cool:
 
To me - It's was the song written for the Sun's Drummer , and our Brother here at Soft - "Wayne Thunder" .... which was indeed a great lost to us all.
