Post your sad songs ITT. I won't be a jerk about my jerk music for jerks either!

This song gets me a lot. Like it can make me tear up pretty bad if I'm in a certain mood.

As I mentioned in the regular music thread there are a lot of Tom Waits songs that get me as well.

What I mean is, it doesn't matter if I like it or not, this is a thread for posting sad songs because sometimes you need some sad tunes to help you through some poo poo.

I don't normally start with a ten, but this one is the kind of song which, after you've heard it once and mulled over the lyrics, becomes "alone in ur car~ driveway medication for crying it all out" as the old folks say

This song came out around the same time after the racehorse Ruffian broke her leg and there was a huge story about whether or not she'd have to be put down. I was a kid at the time so I had a huge amount of empathy to throw around for horses...

We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
i can't find my favorite version of this particular song, but something about the way the guitar just explodes into a barrage of noise around 9 minutes or so always gets me. Dude is pouring his soul into that guitar and you can feel it in every note:

Speaking of Neil Young I definitely spent a lot of time walking around listening to After the Goldrush after my last breakup. This song in particular.

I have a very fond memory of getting really high with my friend in Seattle, drinking Trader Joe's rose, and listening to Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman, and probably Kate Bush.

haha guessed before I clicked

I think Thrashers is a good sad NY song too but maybe not to cry to

Ok for real tho the whole +’justments album by bill withers is fantastic but especially Can We Pretend

Only a howler
In a small way, I'm an opera guy. Yeah, there's lots of material here. Liu in Turandot, Mimi in La Boheme, Tosca ('nuff said). But one that always gets me is in a weird place. Gilbert & Sullivan wrote a little thing called The Mikado. Mostly, it's a silly comic opera, much more about Britain at the time than Japan, and it has standard mechanics of two lovers being blocked by this, that, and the other. But in the second act, there is a weird bit. Katisha, a comic middle-aged spinster character who is scheming to marry the male lead is thwarted. And she is given a slow, mournful aria, "Alone and yet alive". It implies that besides being an obstacle to the leads, that she really did love him. Maybe it's just there as a cynical theater bit to make people weep a bit so they'll love the show, but it moves me to tears every time.
Try to ignore the wig and the costume and listen to this:
