This is brilliant by one of my all time favourite singers (and Robert Plant's), the incomparable Sandy Denny.
Metallica - The Unforgiven 2
It's about a nonconformist driven to extreme loneliness because he'd never trust anyone enough to get close, but he's become so desperate that he wants nothing more than to let a girl he thinks he loves into his life. He has to choose between companionship or or his ideals. It's super sad.

The lyrics in this song makes you want to hang yourself...
And then there's this one just because.

2) Mother - John Lennon
3) A Poet's Tears of Porcelain - Virgin Black
4) Dear Catherine - Love Like Blood
5) Divided - Tiamat

Book Description:
"Does the opening "pling pling plinggg" of Bette Midler's The Rose fill you with existential dread? Do you cringe at the mere whiff of what Phil Collins is spewing In the Air Tonight? Have you ever bolted from a restaurant because Celine Dion's cover of All By Myself was threatening to drive you over the edge? Well, turn around, bright eyes because Tom Reynolds is here with I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE, a laugh-out-loud-til-youre sobbing compendium of the world's most hideously depressing pop songs and a guide to what makes them so heartwrenchingly, earsplittingly sad and bad. With chapters like I Was a Teenage Car Crash, Im Trying to be Profound and Touching but Really Suck At It, Perfect Storms, and I Mope, Therefore I Am, Reynolds details the history of melodic misery, from the days of Bobby Darin to the era of Evanescence. Complete with a ranked Countdown of Doom and wonderfully dreary drawings, I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE is the one book that fans and foes of woeful tunes wont want to live without."
I own this book(picked it up in an ABC Shop sale) and it's absolutely hilarious.It pretty much lists every miserable song from just about every genre-from Johnny Cash's version of 'Hurt' to Dan Fogelberg's 'Same Auld Lang Syne' and Richard Harris's 'MacArthur Park'.If you can't find a depressing song for you after reading this book,you simply aren't trying.A few warnings tho'-it'll probably have at least a few songs you adore in there,but if you have a SOH you can disagree with the author and still have a giggle at his description of said tunes.Also,after reading the book you may find some of them not only depressing,but a tad silly.Guess you'll never 'leave the cake out in the rain' again,tho'.;-)
Thank-yous aren't necessary.Just leave money & beer on the fridge.;-)

If we're doing Pearl Jam, I'd go with Last Kiss. I love that song but I hardly ever listen to it because it makes me so sad.smithy_2045 said:
Gary Jules' Mad World is awesomely melancholy.
And if we?re talking melancholy, pretty much all the songs from ?Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness? by Smashing Pumpkins.
Oh, and since I mentioned Mad World, the Donnie Darko sound track is mostly instrumental, but haunting and a bit depressing.
Aozora from the AIR sound track. It makes me cry in the first five seconds almost every time - mind you because it reminds me of what happens in the series...
