Was a grave for Ira Hayes." }}
* "All the Wild Horses" by Ray LaMontagne almost sounds like a sweet, quiet lullaby, but anyone who's seen [[Rescue Me]] knows how heartbreaking it can be. If you haven't, {{spoiler|it plays during the death of Tommy's son Connor}}.
* Oddly enough, the old song "Laurie (Strange Things Happen in This World)" by Dickey Lee. It's a retelling of the old ghost story about [[Beware of Hitch
* 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.
Line 830:
All I love, all my love" }}
* Sarah Slean sings two of these. She specializes, it seems, in heartbreaking piano melodies. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tn3X98c32M "I Know"] is Slean's reflection on violence against women, and she just sounds so damn resigned about it. Then, another, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Kr7umPnjI&feature=related "Last Year's War"] about a couple getting over infidelity.

* The song "1000 Candles, 1000 Cranes" by Small Potatoes is about an American woman who lost two sons in WWII and a Japanese woman who lost her parents when the bomb was dropped on Japan.
* The song "Italy and France" by Debi Smith, a song about a mother comparing her "different" special-needs child with flying to Italy when she thought she was going to France.
Line 948:
* "Tong Hua (Fairy Tale)" by Michael Wong. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Na7ZNoAcE music video] will make you cry. You don't even need to know what the words mean.
** Alternative link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz82_6hPrgI
* Yes, even comedy musician ''[["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]]'' has a few:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNo8LvdOwSk "Skipper Dan"], amid the theater and Disney references, is a surprisingly sad tale of a man whose dreams of success and fame were shattered by reality, leaving him in an endless rut working day to day to pay the bills and deal with his depression. Not nearly as tragic as other examples on this list, but far more likely to hit close to home...
** "You Don't Love Me Anymore" might be far worse. Not only is the music genuinely sad, but it's about his girlfriend's attempts to murder him. The lyrics are intended to be humourous, but occasional lyrics like "you're still the light of life" and "my scars are all healing but my heart never will" implying the singer still loves the subject of the song might still bring tears to one's eyes.
