Garbage's "nobody can win"? or their "a cup of coffee"
Blink 182's [please don't take the piss, honestly its actually quite good] "I Miss You"
Radiohead "street spirit" (picking radiohead being a bit obvious though)
Oh yea, most of Dead Can Dance's "the serpent's egg"
and I guess the Beatles "yesterday"
the Pretenders "I go to sleep"
Police "every breath you take"
Placebo "sleeping with ghosts"
New Order's In a Lonely Place and Elegia (well they make me feel sad anyway)
and everything that's already been mentioned (especially the crazy frog!)

Procession, New Order quote]
Interesting...I've always thought of that as a "bipolar" New Order song....optimistic and cheerful, with a dark edge of pain and despair ("There is no end to this...")...so I can listen to it regardless of my mood....not many bands can do that to me.
The Field Mice - And Before The First Kiss
With an honourable mention to my current 'it'll bring tears to your eyes' track: New Model Army - Fireworks Night
SHEDi xxx
EDIT: Add Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's Dream to the above...
saw the video for Johnny Cash's "hurt" again....
the icon, the rebel, the proud american, the loving husband, the old man knowing the end is near....
I was working a record store and the Universal rep brought a videotape of it and showed it to some co-workers and I. It was maybe 2 months before the cd was released
I had a tear running down my face as I first saw it.
Honey by Bobby Goldsboro - pure cheese but beware, it can get to you :barf:
World Without Love is more bearable.

Yep, my mom loves that song so much. Since I've been going to more funerals lately, I've heard that duet by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton, When I Get To Where I'm Going, several times.
Also gonna add I See A Darkness, by either J. Cash or Will Oldham.
How could we forget Roy Orbison's In Dreams, since it touched ol' softy Frank Booth so deeply in Blue Velvet?

Why not Elegia ? It is powerfull but also very very sad in my eyes.

'My youngest son came home today'MaryBlack
Play this,and the next time you hear 'save a prayer',feel free to laugh your head off.
Sigur Ros is very saddening - it's ultra-very-nice but somehow they always make me cry (perhaps because it is so ultra-very-nice)...
I don't know if anyone mentioned "Seasons in the sun" by Terry Jacks yet.

If my rather shoddy memory serves me correctly, "Seasons in the Sun" was named in the top 10 of some worst song of all time list a few years ago. Yes, another silly list.

Christy you little softy.
How about Glen Campbell's By The Time I Get To Phoenix...."..She'll be sleeping"
Does anyone remember 'One Night Stand' by the Aloof?
that was a bit grinding, but also kinda cool
