Click the 'music' subfield on the left. In there is a link on the page for a 50 second sample of the song in voice only. The soundtrack for We Were Soldiers has it with fifes and bagpipes... eerily sad and makes the hair stand up on my neck.
I heard that when I saw "We Were Soldiers". Sad song.
"Bang Bang" from
Kill Bill made me sad.
Also:
Only God Knows Why - Kid Rock
That song was played at my cousin's funeral. He committed suicide, and every time I hear the song, it makes me cry. The lyrics describe my cousin's life almost to a T.
Also:
Everybody Hurts - R.E.M.
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day
We don't have that song played at every prom here, to my knowledge anyway. It's played at every graduation ceremony.
Also:
Atmosphere - Joy Division
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Zombie - The Cranberries
Hello - Evanescence
Love Hurts - Nazareth
I haven't listened to some of my music so I don't remember how sad any of it is. Otherwise I might have a longer list. Originally I was only going to say "Only God Knows Why" because it's the only song that makes me cry. But given the circumstances, I suppose it could make anyone cry.
