saddest songs in the world?

[Melmont]

Casimir Pulaski Day -- Sufjan Stevens. I had to take it off my iPod, because it kept making me cry on the bus.

Also, Elliott Smith makes me sad every time I listen to him, which is daily. New Disaster is the latest song that give me chills "The ghost of your smile was just seen on a body in the park...". Christ.

uh i forgot one.

'i will cover you' (reprise), also from rent, will make me cry every single time i hear it. it's a song two lovers sang together to a happier tempo, and now that his lover has died, he's singing it to him at basically his funeral. it's so beautiful. sigh.

Love Hurts (sung by Emmylou Harris and Graham Parsons)

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart
Not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts

Im young , I know, but even so
I know a thing or two, and I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when its hot
Love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not fooling me

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts......

For happiness, the song "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder always brings tears to my eyes.

And this. Hoo boy. This makes me cry every time I watch it:

ghost in this house by allison krauss
i don't know you anymore by savage garden
dublin sky by darren hayes (fmr. singer of savage garden)

"how many days am i gonna regret you
how many nights until i forget you
have i been wasting all these years
held down by these tears...
...how did i end up lying here
crying underneath this dublin sky"

oh every time.
