I cannot say anything about "saddest" (I am really not one to go for superlatives thereby carelessly downgrading everything that I did not designate superlative) but one really sad song which I think many of us should take in for the meaning that it has is Streets of London.

^I never heard of that song, it's pretty good, though people can have just the same amount of pain no matter what their situation is.

Yet it does remind us of what we have and puts our concerns into dimension. I do think there is a difference between the suffering of homeless people and our daily concerns.

Well you know my thoughts and feelings regarding the Streets of London Malte, however I'll post up here too.  This is one of the saddest songs I've heard.  It reinforces my realisation of what I have and that I should be grateful after all, I have a family, a home and a warm place to sleep at night.  Yet, I don't require the song to come to the realisation as there are homeless people around in Bern.  I'll admit that I give some who have been there for about five years some money and i feel great and comfortable for doing that because it's a good turn.  One of which I think many people should do.  Whilst I'm not going to pretend that I imagine what it's like to be homeless, I know that if it happened to me I'd like some support and understanding.  For people to care and not see me as scorn.  

What I suppose I'm trying to say, is that no matter how hard your own life is there is always going to be someone who's life is much harder who has little or nothing to live off on.  Is it their choice?  Most often it is not and they do need some sort of support.:)

Again thanks for the link to the song Malte.

While not a song... this is a very sad piece of music about a very sad scene:

Courage-Superchick

I told another lie today
And I got through this day
No one saw through my games
I know the right words to say
Like "I don't feel well"
"I ate before I came"

Then someone tells me how good I look
and for a moment
For a moment I am happy
But when I'm alone
No one hears me cry

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day

I don't know the first time I felt unbeautiful
The day I chose not to eat
What I do know is how I changed my life forever
I know I should know better
There are days when I'm okay
And for a moment
For a moment I find hope
But there are days when I'm not okay
And I need your help
So I'm letting go

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day

You should know you're not on your own
These secrets are walls that keep us alone
I don't know when but I know now
Together we'll make it through somehow
Together we'll make it through somehow

I need you to know
I'm not through the night
Some days I'm still fighting to walk towards the light
I need you to know
That we'll be okay
Together we can make it through another day

In my opinion the saddest song ever written is My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.

Well I know there was one song last year that made me tear a little bit not into full blown tears and crying, I can't rember what it was called but I know that the people I was with, since I was at a Camp they said that this Salior was out in the sea and when his Ship was sinking he prayed to God to let him live, and the Salior wrote a song about it. That's at least what i think they said.

Here is a song I came across called Battle of the Denmark Straits.  It's about the sinking of the HMS Hood.  It's a pretty depressing song.

The saddest song?

It's a song from the Videogame Final Fantasy X... it's called "Wandering Flame"... here it is:

I don't know why... but I almost cry every time when I listen to it... it reminds me of the good old days...

The following makes me sad 'cuz it reminds me of how one feels when someone close to him or her has died.

"Against All Odds" by Phil Collins

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave?
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now!
There's just an empty space.
There's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face.
Take a look at me now!
There's just an empty space,
and you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face.

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry.
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why you're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now!
There's just an empty space.
There's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face.
Now, take a look at me now!
Cos there's just an empty space,
but to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face.

Take a good look at me now!
Cos I'll still be standing here,
and you coming back to me is against all odds.
It's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho.

Take a look at me now.

"Hurt". Originally by Nine Inch Nails, but Johnny Cash's cover is by far a better rendition, and has more emotion in it. The lyrics really make you think as well...

---
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

While I've been beaten to it twice, "Bright Eyes" is the saddest song I have ever heard.

A close second is "Comfortably Numb."

Well, it doesn't seem too sad, but to me, it's sad in the sense of how people can treat the planet.
