If you just listen to the lyrics, you will know.

Any songs the escapists can think up?

Troll

Always I wasnt amused and I couldnt understand the words!

 

[Azraellod]

I couldn't understand the words!

What? They showed up at the bottom of the video.

The opening theme from Elfen Lied, Lillium, very sad.

 

[rokudan]

I was radio surfing and heard an Emo version of an old Turtles song: "so Happy Together".

That made me sad.

Hero of War by Rise Against.
You have to listen the whole way through to get the full effect tho

I don't know why, but this song seems so sad from every angle to me. Maybe because it eloquently crystallizes what I feel is true.

Ok youtube doesn't work for me so sorry if it has already been posted but the most depressing song in the world is Gloomy Sunday (AKA The Hungarian suicide song)

Regina Spektor - Braille.

Ignore the video montage though, please.

It just gets me emotional. No lyrics - you dont need them.

Also - One by Metallica. Just reminds me war can be an ugly thing.

Not sure about "ever", but saddest song I can think of off the top of my head is Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor's Hurt [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clq01TXQR0s]. So good that Reznor declared that the song was no longer his after he heard Cash's version.

Runner-up (again off the top of my head) would probably be If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWu-QOVekeU] by Manic Street Preachers, which is disturbing and surreal as well as somehowextremely sad.

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

I think this is mostly because of the story behind it, but it always makes me sad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AscPOozwYA8

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
