OT: Songs that make you sad...for whatever reason

[Cuango]

A great one from Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald. Two spectacular voices!

This is a melancholy song from Jimmy Buffet, who is better known for his good time party songs.

This song was written by Eric Clapton after the death of his son. It moves me every time I hear it.

This song is about lying in bed next to a partner that you're about to break up with. It is beautifully sung by Bonnie Raitt. Full of both affection and sadness, she ultimately accepts that "I can't make you love me, if you won't." Probably her favorite performance to me.

I was just going to name this song. I never cared for Bonnie Raitt, except for this song.

Some other songs that for me have a sad feel are "The Heart of the Matter" by Don Henley, "The Freshman" by The Verve Pipe,
and though it's from an animated movie, I think Sarah McLachlan's "When She Loved Me" from Toy Story 2 is extremely saddening.

Is this song on the list yet? The number one break up song. Believe it or not, this song is supposed to cheer you up. Personally, I find this song depressing.
