- Ugly Kid Joe - Cats In The Cradle (though not sad, it reminds me of an excellent book I read, if they ever make a movie of it, I reckon they should put this song in it, or at least an instrumental) oh, and someone actually reckoned it was sad…

I shouldn’t go on for too long though…your thoughts?

And, download "Checkmate" from freeplaymusic.com, and listen to the part from 1:30 to 1:50. I know this comes from some other song, but I don't know the name of it. Help anyone?

Cat's in the cradle isn't by Ugly Kid Joe although there may be a remake.  The origial was by Harry Chapin(sp) It does become a very sad song after you loose your Father.

Moody Blues:  Lucky Man
Moody Blues:  Knights in White Satin
Kansas:  Dust in the wind
Blue Oyster Cult:  Don't Fear the Reaper
Heart:  Blue Lamp (When watching Heavy Metal)
Simon & Garfunkel:  Just about every song  :D
Warren Zevon:  Wreck of the Edmon Fitzgearld(sp)

7:00 time to grab a beer an put the upbeat tunes on. 

And for some strange reason the random play decided to start with:

Live:  Lightning Crashes

A common misconception. The music piece heard in Homeworld is "Agnus Dei", a liturgical hymn written centuries ago and eventually adapted to Barber's "Adagio for Strings".

Kinda skipped over the list, don't usually pay attention to who does what...  But I know Everything Burns is a sad one.  Some others of Erik's are sad too, but I don't feel like figuring out which ones they were.

Lux Aeterna (requiem for a dream)?

you  don't get much more //wrists than that.
as cliched as it is now it is so for a good reason, think about the first time you heard the song, you immediately recognized it as a song about loss. a downward unending spiral of hopeless despair, everything you ever knew or loved slowly withering to ash in your hands and there is nothing you can do about it. it is almost funny how depressing it is.

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Symphony No. 5 in D Major: III - Romanza: Lento.

As with a lot of his earlier orchestral works, it's both incredibly sad and somehow happy. It seems nostalgic to me. Almost as if the music is describing a happy place that either never really existed or has since departed from the world. The focal points and orchestral swells are gorgeous, and almost tear jerking in a nostalgic way.

EDIT: Darn you Spicious for posting Tchaikovksy 6 before I could. :p

Almost everything Harry Chapin ever wrote, all of his songs are sad to varying degrees. They're good though. Beyond Cats in a Cradle, I particularly recommend Taxi, Mr. Tanner, and A Better Place to Be.

Meatloaf has some sad ones too: Objects in the Rear View Mirror

BarenakedLadies - War on Drugs (quite sad and a departure from their usual songs)

and proving I listen to a very strange collection of songs, also:

Gomen Nasi - Tatu
Life is a Boat - Rie Fu

Brian Tyler - Inama Nushif. A little bit like the tune from Gladiator maybe.

That choked me up.

Oh and the theme from Saving Private Ryan, 'Hymn to the Fallen' I think it's called. By John Williams IIRC.

I was going to mention one but Terran Emperor beat me to it.

There's a track from I-War 2 that's kind of sad, sort of a flute/cello (I'm pants at recognising instruments) with piano combo.
