Line 279:
* [[Fallout]] fans unite: The Inkspots took melancholy to an art form. "Maybe", "I Don't Want to Start the World on Fire", and "If I Didn't Care". Mix and match with 50's nuclear apocalypse, art deco, underwater distortions, and objectionism. Keep a tissue handy as well.
* Out of ''all'' of Fiction Junction YUUKA's songs, the one that might make cry the most is "Hitomi no kakera" - although, "Akatsuki no kuruma" is also quite the tear jerker.
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-kpR32B-Uk World]" by [[Five For Fighting]], and, and this can double as a [[Live
** Five for Fighting's "Superman", cliche or not, can also get some people choked up during it.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHnT908mp3U This video makes it a million times worse. * SNIFF* ]
Line 386:
* "Another Pilot" by Hey Rosetta! can be a bit of a tearjerker.
** Also "The Simplest Thing" and "Bandages".
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120828070143/http://smokeys-trail.com/9-11-01.html This version] of "Silent Night". Words by Stacey Randall. Recitation by Bob Holiday.
* Billie Holiday's version of "Gloomy Sunday" is simply amazing... if by "amazing" you mean "not being able to listen to it without getting it stuck in your head and being hurled into a vicious blue funk".
* The Hoosiers' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHbrf9Z_44A&feature=BFa&list=PLAA587A6FCB4AEB64&index=73 "Everything Goes Dark"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hewEMQUIuU&feature=view_all&list=PLAA587A6FCB4AEB64&index=74 "A Sadness Runs Through Him"]. You can tell from the titles, but here's a sample from "A Sadness Runs Through Him":
Line 512:
* Annie Lennox's rendition of Cole Porter's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye". Especially the video.
** "Why" is also pretty heartwrenching, considering the lyrics.
** "Into The West" is pretty and sad at the same time and more so if you put it in context with what happened at the end of the third ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' movie. It won best original song at the 2003 Academy Awards.
* Less Than Jake can really bring on the wistful melancholy sometimes, just listen to "Screws Fall Out": "Friends leave as time fades away/The people and the places along the way/Without a doubt/Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out", and then try looking at some old school photos.
* English folk punk group The Levellers offer "Another Man's Cause", a tragic account of a young soldier marching off to war in the footsteps of his dead father and brother.
Line 1,123:
* [[Lou Reed]] managed to create a whole [[Tear Jerker]] ''album'' with ''Berlin''
