Way OT - favorite sad songs??
Been here for 10+ years and this is my first OP so please be gentle. I’m looking for recommendations for sad songs. Genre doesn’t really matter - I like a little bit of everything.
Been going through a rough patch and always helps me to hear someone else in the same place. Whatcha got? And thanks in advance.

Gets me every time I think of my grandfather as he neared the end and was ready to re-join my grandmother, whom he loved dearly and missed for 25 years after her passing.
Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem sad and beautiful. I damn near cry when singing it on stage in hill Aud.

A little late but maybe you'll still check. Tried not to repeat what others have said and to give some variety on genre/style.
Changes (cover of Sabbath) by Charles Bradley is great. But the live version he did at a radio station is so much more powerful. It was posted by the Toronto Star so just search that plus him.
17 by Tocotronic. It's in German and I actually don't even know what most of the lyrics say and I kind of don't want to in case it's not as depressing as the song sounds or isn't something I can relate to and kind of loses something because of that.
In the Orchard by Tiger Army
The Only Thing by Sufjan Stevens
Strawberry or Summerland by Everclear (or anything on that album pretty much)
Empty Vessels Make the Loudest Sound by the Mars Volta
Our Father by Saul Williams
Separate Ways.. Journey
It came on when I was on the way home from my parents house. My mother had just died from cancer and I was alone in the car. I had to pull over. Still hard to listen to even to this day.
Over you.. Miranda Lambert
Written by Blake Shelton after the death of his brother. Makes me think of my sister that passed last year on Christmas Day. She fought cancer for a year and it took her.
I hate this disease with all my soul..
