Wading in the Velvet Sea - Phish (specifically the Coventry version, where Page broke down and cried through all of his lyrics and had to have the rest of the band help him out so he could get through the song in one piece.. my god that was heartbreaking.)
Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead (wells me up everytime I hear it)
Elenor Rigby - The Beatles (while not a very sad sounding song, the lyrics are so heavy, it always makes me think of homeless people for some reason.. people that no one care about, or write off as hopeless..)
Castles Made of Sand - Jimi Hendrix (again, not a sad sounding song, but the lyrics make me tear up all the time)
there's a ton more, but those are the ones off the top of my head.
damn, I'm tearing up right now, and I'm not even listening to any of them!
I Better Be Quiet Now-Elliot Smith Fond Farewell-Elliot Smith
Really, anything by Elliot Smith makes me feel comforted when I'm depressed.

I'd second that one. Terrapin, were you there? I was crying and so was everyone else around me. That night was very emotional and surreal.

Almost forgot this one. When I was younger I worked at a concert venue in Detroit St. Andrews (might recognize from M@M movie although no one came on those rap nights like the movie suggests) anyway saw a lot of fantastic bands iggy pop INXS etc. One night simply red played , it was amazing and sad , I had no idea that it would be like that was more of a punk, metal guy at the time ,the guy had one of the most soulfull voices ive ever heard . The shelter was the basement of St. Andrews
Wow hadn,t thought of that in years went to find simply red on web after postin they are still around, cool thing is they have an archive of old shows going way back to 80s so my show was on there August 6 1986 , I feel young but maybe im gettin old

For very personal reasons...I think it is called My Life by the Beatles
"There are days that I remember,...."
My best friend, Leanna, is going through her 4th bout w/ cancer and chemo and we were sitting in our regular dive bar hang out when this song came on..I have always found it very sad but at that moment she turned to me and told me she wanted this song played at her funeral..It just hit me really hard and I can't hear it without thinking about that...All I can say is I don't want to hear that song for a very long time. As I type this I am crying and don't want to think about it anymore

Me too..She is one of the crew going to Bonnaroo w/ us! I think she is probably one of the strongest people I know...She gets her brain scans next week to see what is causing all of her headaches and blurred vision..we are hoping it hasn't spread even further...all of hr lymph nodes are affected and now we are worried it has spread to her brain. I will send her good vibes from everyone!!!

Thanks everyone, she is really determined and if anyone can beat this thing she can. She is awesome and you would never know anything is going on with her...Wait until you meet her, she is everyone's favorite person.
I am glad that you told me it was played at your wedding...it puts a much happier note to that tune.
Good thread so far. I appreciate you sharing with us about your friend Bev. I'll pray for her.
Songs that get me: "Motion Picture Soundtrack"- Radiohead Song is so damn sad. So damn sad. You can tell Thom was in a bad place when he wrote it.
"Dreams"- Cranberries There are few songs out there that fill me up with empty longing when I hear them.
"As Long as the Grass Shall Grow"- Johnny Cash Hopeful, sad song. I heard it after Johnny and June both passed away. I wonder if Johnny ever listened to June's music after she passsed...
