* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ry4cx6HfY&ob=av3e "So Far Away"] by [[Avenged Sevenfold]], in honor of their late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

* "House Carpenter" by [[Hurt]] seems to combine this with [[Obsession Song]].

* Gary Numan wrote "A Prayer for the Unborn" when his wife suffered a miscarriage after finally becoming pregnant via IVF treatment. In his early performances you can hear his voice crack with emotion when he sings it live. No word on whether the sonogram typically projected behind him during this song is the real thing.

* "The Edge of Glory" by [[Lady Gaga]] was written about her grandfather, who was dying, and an intimate moment she saw him share with her grandmother in the hospital. It's not sad, so much as it's about accepting life will always come to an end, but you need to experience life anyways. When she plays the song in a capella, the song shifts to a ballad, and goes become more of a sad grief song.
