1) "Electro-Shock Blues" - Eels

2) "Nieces Pieces" - Xiu Xiu. There is a sense of hopelessness in this which is incredibly sad.

"I can't wait to watch you get older
I can't wait to meet that first boy that breaks your life
I can't wait till you realize the family you've been born into
I can't wait to watch you turn from good to bad
I can't wait to tell your grandpa made your mommy
play stripper while your uncle watched
I can't wait to tell you I punched your mommy in the chest
In front of her new friends
I can't wait till you realize mommy's heart is broken
I can't wait to watch you grow up around the people who broke it"

the Mountain Goats - Matthew 25:21

Especially this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFpQQM1pfUc

And then came to your bedside
And as it turns out, I'm not ready
And as though
You were speaking through a thick haze
You said hello to me
We all stood there around you
Happy to hear you speak
The last of something bright burning, still burning
Beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
And you were a presence full of light upon this earth
And I am a witness to your life and to it's worth
It's three days later when I get the call
And there's nobody around to break my fall

Hate songs that are all WAH I'M SO SAD

well i don't but they're not heartbreaking.

Songs that are empathic are good though. So yeah i reckon maple leaves by jens lekman probably beats any bullshit by perfume genius that someone will post at some point. And everything else too.

Wilco - Cars Can't Escape

When red is bled
And petals blue
And in my sleepless head
Our love's been dead a week or two

Sometimes, good times
Are stuck inside of you
And then they're gone
But I don't know why

A lot of things have changed
Since we said goodbye
There were reasons for you to love me
But I gave you none

So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with

So time's just time
Cars can't escape
When clouds are gray and close
Not often, too far away

And blue has no value, power, or hue
Or open skies, relationless
Carelessness is what I miss
And that's how I think of you

Sometimes, good times
Were all we had to do
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with

So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with

Low - In Metal

Partly hate to see you grow
And just like your baby shoes
Wish i could keep your little body
In metal

even still_here couldn't disagree, I reckon.

maybe the best Low song?

the depth of pathos to this song is endless, as deep as a human's compassion for their young.

- I love this song, but it's not heartbreaking
  
  It's more of a song of affection from mimi (and alan?) to their child. Really beautiful song.
  
  Shots and Ladders (off Trust) gets me though:
  
  they want to keep you for more tests
  stick a needle in your chest
  and send you home to your own bed
  and kiss your beautiful forehead
  see how you feel in the morning

I always say Sound and Vision by Bowie.

Not because it's a sad song per se - obviously it isn't; it's pretty upbeat.

But it's about kicking heroin and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And a few years later he released Ashes to Ashes - which is also about kicking heroin (in a round about way), so he must have tried kicking heroin a few times before he succeeded.

Conor Oberst - Breezy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTzq3F5NvjM

Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this rented mansion
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter

Kissing me full of beer, tequila, weed, and candy
Walking down the boardwalk
Act like we were married
You always made it easy
Then I'd want you more
You always kept it easy
Then I'd want you more

Too smart for your own good
Too sweet, too logical
Statistics round your head
Tried to teach me about baseball
My favorite was the part when they make it home
I like it when they steal, and when they make it home

You left us with a sorrow too unreal to help
Heard the birds sound broadcast speakers at the Phoenix hotel
All your friends are standing, crying, on the sidewalk
All your boyfriends, they were standing crying on the sidewalk

Breezy, I feel dizzy
Can you help me up?
It's crowded at the back door
How we getting to the bus?
I'd like to help you find it if there's something better
Yeah, I'll try and help you find it if there's something better

Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this practice mansion
I love you now
I know that's all that matters
I love you now
And I know that's all that matters

Two Weeks Since You've Gone / Scott Walker

Two weeks since you've gone
And I feel like the tramp
Picking dustbins in the alley.
He looks up as I pass
Clutching rags from a city's restless night

I could read all my sadness
In faces I knew
Down at Kelly's bar last Friday
And I haven't been back since I mistook
Somebody for a friend

Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan

is pretty much the only song that's ever made me actually cry

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxMYqsvgX8c

Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you when I found out
You had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulderblade
I could see what you were reading

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

Tuesday night at the bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens

I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse

In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared

All the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you

Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I found the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of you mother

On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom

In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window

In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window

All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes and He takes and He takes

Stabbing Westward - Waking Up Beside You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70l6Zhsy23Q

I've been so alone for so long
Forgotten by the world
Forgotten to myself
Your effervescent eyes have awakened me
And brushed the dust away
But I knew you'd never stay

So I memorized the color of your eyes as I lost myself inside you
And I memorized the way our legs entwined as I drifted off beside you

I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you

At night I cling to you, I'm so afraid
Afraid the day will come
And I'll wake and find you gone
But you promised that you'd not abandon me
And kissed my fears away
But I woke up to that day

But I had memorized the way our eyes
would meet reflected in the bathroom mirror
And I memorized your naked silhouette as you slowly brushed your hair
I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you

I've been so alone for so long
I forgot how much it hurts
To wake up so alone

But I memorized how warm your body felt
as you lay half asleep beside me
And I memorized the way the sunlight
filled the room and played upon your body

I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you
I miss
God I miss
Waking up beside you

    So just open up your eyes, old man
    Look who's come to say goodbye
    
    The sun has left the sky, old man
    The birds have flown away
    And no one came to cry, old man
    Goodbye, old man, goodbye
    
    You want to stay, I know you do
    But it ain't no use to try
    'Cause I'll be here-and I'm just like you
    Goodbye, old man, goodbye
    
    Won't be no God to comfort you
    You taught me not to believe that lie
    You don't need anybody
    Nobody needs you
    Don't cry, old man, don't cry
    Everybody dies
