Suffer Little Children by The Smiths
Over the moor, take me to the moor Dig a shallow grave And I'll lay me down Over the moor, take me to the moor Dig a shallow grave And I'll lay me down Lesley-Anne, with your pretty white beads Oh John, you'll never be a man And you'll never see your home again Oh Manchester, so much to answer for Edward, see those alluring lights ? Tonight will be your very last night A woman said : "I know my son is dead I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head" Hindley wakes and Hindley says : Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : "Oh, wherever he has gone, I have gone" But fresh lilaced moorland fields Cannot hide the stolid stench of death Fresh lilaced moorland fields Cannot hide the stolid stench of death Hindley wakes and says : Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, Hindley wakes, and says : "Oh, whatever he has done, I have done" But this is no easy ride For a child cries : "Oh, find me...find me, nothing more We are on a sullen misty moor We may be dead and we may be gone But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side Until the day you die This is no easy ride We will haunt you when you laugh Yes, you could say we're a team You might sleep You might sleep You might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! Oh, you might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! You might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !" Oh Manchester, so much to answer for Oh Manchester, so much to answer for Oh, find me, find me ! Find me ! I'll haunt you when you laugh Oh, I'll haunt you when you laugh You might sleep BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM ! Oh... Over the moors, I'm on the moor Oh, over the moor Oh, the child is on the moor |

being as I'm from an irish background - when 'Danny Boy' is played /sung it is compulsory to have a tear in one's eye Crying because it was written by an Englishman I suppose? |

Forever Young is a Dylan song. Superb track. I have it as uplifting rather than sad tho.
Among those I haven't seen mentioned. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead. There is A Light That Never goes out - The Smiths Savannah Smiles - Okkervil River (particularly when you know the back ground to the song). Broken Heart - Spiritualized |

Some lovely suggestions on this thread.
I have a few candidates, so my selection is not obscure for my sake but because I think fewer people will be familiar with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8v4w4Hd9Ro Nick Cave; Song for Bob. |

Apparently this gets played at lots of funerals. I'm having it played at mine. You sentimental silly sausage!
When Fat Elvis sang it, he told a story beforehand of a dying man I much prefer the Matt Williams performance, beautifully and immaculately sung live here at the BBC circa 1974. Very impressive how he holds that note for eternity at the end. Softly As I Leave You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7vxWa-47VM |

The older you get the more important the lyrics resonate with you, so i'll offer up a couple of songs i've loved for years, covered by many artists but for me the best versions who put such emotion into the songs are,
The way we were-Gladys Knight, although Neither one of us is also wonderful by her, secondly Charles Aznavour singing Yesterday when i was young. |
