“Dreaming With a Broken Heart” John Mayer
“Yesterday” The Beatles
“Cocoon” The Decemberists
“Hallelujah” Jeff Buckley
“mission rock resort” by Mark Eitzel. “it’s sad when you try and manipulate me/ it’s sad cause I don’t love you that way anymore.”
I just stumbled across this page.
How you can mention Smog’s cold blooded old times and not suggest River guard, I could drive forever instead or Left only with love (all four are off knock knock), I do not understand. In the latter I’m pretty sure you can actually hear Bill Callahan cry as he’s singing “when I lost you, I lost my family”.
Others:
Cat Power’s Say
Massive attack’s Psyche, Angel or Unfinished symphony.
Broadcast’s Until then.
Moloko’s Statues.
PJ Harvey’s Horses in my dreams or Catherine.
The Gathering’s Yelena
Tex Perkins’ To us
Johnny Cash’s incredible version of Hurt.
and so on.
I am not usually a fan of country music, but these three songs alwasy bring a tear to my eye:
The greatest Man I never Knew by reba McEntire
Where’ve you been by Kathy Mattea
How can I help You Say goodbye by Patty Loveless
I’m not a fan either, but country songwriters seem to be able to tug the heartstrings y’all.
“Rocket Love” by Stevie Wonder “COOOLD, TOO COLD!”- heartbreaking
“PEARLS” -Sade
“FADED PICTURES”- Case Featuring JOE
She was more than a women, a goddess for all to see
All I ever needed was her right here loving me
For a while we were cool and the groovin` of love was on
But I still remember how it felt when her love was gone
(Bridge)
Tattered picture book
Was a photograph she took years ago
Secret memories in her mind, how could love be so unkind
Heartbreak time
(Chorus)
Faded pictures in a broken glass
Like a mirror revealing
What the woman is feeling
Was it someone from a distant past
`Cos it`s breaking my heart
To watch her stare into the glass
As she turned through the pages the tears rolled down her face
I could see her reminiscing, why her life had to be this way
As she stopped and she came to a page where her diary end
To smell the scent of an old rose, from her lover I suppose
(Bridge)
As she stares into the glass, I`ll be waiting
`Cos she`s lost inside the past (x2)

“Lost Cause”-Beck
“The Sea is a Good Place to Think of the Future”-Los Campesinos!
“I Can’t Make You Love Me” Bonnie Raitt “For No One” Beatles
While I can’t claim it’s the saddest song ever, I came across the Magnetic Fields’ “I Don’t Believe In The Sun” right after a difficult breakup and it made me burst into tears – They say there’s a sun in the sky, but me, I can’t imagine why.There might’ve been one before you were gone but now all I see is the night.
