What is the saddest song?

Question

i have personally found a really sad song by Ludacris and Mary J Blige called 'Runaway', this got me thinking, what really is the saddest song?

Answer 1

Ben by wacko Jacko

Answer 2

Seasons in the Sun, because he wrote it whilst he was dying and only got big after he died, you hear the words and know what he went through its mega sad, you have lots written by people who lost people eric clapton etc, but i think this is the only one from someone who was actually dying and only planned it to be released after his death.

Seasons In The Sun
( Terry Jacks )

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.

Goodbye Papa its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun

3.Kate bush - This womans work
4 - Eric clapton- wonderful tonight
5 - Westlife - Angel

Answer 4

The saddest song has to be a retake of "Heaven" by DJ Sammy where the version is a tribute to the Twin towers thing.
It's about a little girl who has lost her dad - If I remember rightly, if it doesn't make you feel sad, you truly do have no soul!

If you're a little emotional be ready with the box of tissues because you might cry

My view anyway

Answer 5

Sonny- A new found Glory
Tiny Vessels- Death Cab for Cutie
I Will Follow You into the Dark- Death Cab for Cutie
The Boy Who Blocked His own Shot- Brand New
Give my Love to Rose- Johnny Cash

Answer 6

The Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics
Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring
Annie Lennox - Why
Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush - Don't Give Up
Kate Bush - This Woman's Work
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
