Hideaway by Karen O & The Kids just flat-out puts tears in my eyes. Something about it just gives you a reminiscent feeling.

Angry Son by Indian Summer.

A lot of good ones already mentioned. A few I didn't see:

Sufjan - Casimir Pulaski Day

Atmosphere - That Night
"She was sixteen
Another young angel with clipped wings
She came to the shows, but I never met her
Don't even know if she was listening
That night, somebody lost a daughter
He raped and killed her at the venue
I can't comprehend what her friends must've been through
That night, the sun went dark
Now watch everyone on the tour bus fall apart
That night, Lord have mercy
That music died that night in Albuquerque"
^A song Slug 'wasn't supposed to write'

That's like, happy sad. God do I love that song. It's happy and warm sounding, but such a sad story.

I think the saddest Soofyan song is For The Widows In Paradise

I'm listening to Pulp's This Is Hardcore album right now... God I never realised how many sad songs there were on this... lotsa break up sounding stuff, forlorn lovers, unrequited feelings...the track I'm listening to now "TV Movie" is pretty darn sad...

I bet Hospice is a sad album, it's about caring for someone that's terminally ill and dying of cancer, I'm not going to be descriptive because I didn't care for it that much and got old fast but it's probably got very sad lyrics as well.

And yeah, if you listen to the lyrics on the songs on each of E's albums, you can definitely tell when his life is going good and when he's having a bad time. In some of those song he really pours his soul into his songwriting. Not Hombre Lobo though, that was ****.

I personally think Casimir Pulaski Day is much sadder than Widows. But don't get me wrong, both are such beautiful songs. I'm not sure if you'll get me, but they're different types of sad... if you know what I mean.

That song by Cat Power "Names" of her album Free. So sad.
