Saddest song you've listened to...

[Equilibrium]

Whats the saddest song you have ever listened to (either for sentimental reason or anything else) and why?

Mine are:

Be Yourself--Audioslave because it reminds me of a good guy friend of mine that put me through some very tough times.

Boondock Saints theme (i have it on my comp if anyone wants it) because it reminds me of my very close friendship with my roomate Alex. It reminds me of him because the guy has an incredible talent at doing the best he can at whatever he attempts..and trust me hes attempted many things in his life..coast guard, EMT, Paramedic, scuba diving instructor, Rifle Shooter, womanizer..haha the whole works...I miss the fellow.

Everybody's gotta learn Sometimes this is the theme from Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind.

Redemption Song--Bob Marley My other roomate John dedicated this song to me when he played it at a concert. He knows its very dear to me because it reminds me of all the good times we've had.

Out of My heart--BBak This by the far the saddest song for me not because of the song itself but because all i did was listen to it after i broke up with my girlfriend (yes THE girlfriend that i always used to post about in this forum) and so now everytime i listen to my song its like a stabbing at my heart because it reminds me of like the 3 months right after we broke up of me just sitting there crying and thinking about her.
