Saddest songs

[stevenrotterdam]

I think this is bad sad
Where are you now my love?
My sweet one.
Where have you gone my love?
I'm so alone.

It was MY dying bride, my wine in silence

This may not be the saddest song... but it's a love song so it's pretty sad. And the guitar part is beautiful.

 

[Charles Darwin]

A song about Natalie Merchant's grandfather who died very soon after his wife (her grandmother). It strikes me every time as the very definition of sadness:

The next song on that album carries an equally heavy message: the accidental death of River Phoenix...and the songwriter's scornful reprimand of the media for feeding upon his death:
