So many and some wonderful songs already listed but a double recommendation for two very different but equally wonderful songs. So Sad The Song by the incomparable Gladys and Opposite by Biffy. Even a glass eye would be streaming and a dead dog would get up and howl from the pain of loss if it listened to I Wish I Were Blind by Springsteen.

In A Lonely Place features the all-important canine reference:
Warm like a dog `round your feet How I wish you were here with me now Then there's some nonsense about hanging yourself, but it's that line about the dog which I always remember. |

Another great shout from earlier in Both Sides Now but I refer the original. If we are going for great forgotten vocalists who shone briefly Show Me Heaven Maria McKee is a belter.

Mama - Roy Orbison
youtu.be/L9Xe7aBXYL0 A song that always makes me cry, (I'm crying now)! Remembering my Mum & Dad who both tragically died before I was 20 years old! Love you both, always,  |

the guy in this track knows he's lost the love of his life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyxSk3IqOnQ
if you haven't seen it I can recommend the bands full video of their last concert "the last waltz" |

Already mentioned, but no doubt emotionally charged
And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn't understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKZkkTBd2_A&t=2m47s |

That's like the where where you when you heard Kennedy or Lennon were shot or Elvis could squeeze that fat one out on the bog controller. I was laying behind the sofa with the ear phones on and The Edge came in with that riff and bang. Only really happened to me with with one other song which was Reel Around The Fountain which would be a bit left field for this discussion. Memories.

what were you doing when you heard Elvis was dead ?
By screaming from beneaththewaves on 16 Oct 14 22:24 I was eating dessert in a restaurant with a mate and his family. His mother cried in the gateau. |

Music for a brimming heart on here, much I've never heard before. I'm a sucker for a half-spoken sad song.
Endorse Shep and Honey. Here's a suggestion, in the same style, not clever but piercing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyxSk3IqOnQ |

Levi Stubbs Tears by Billy Bragg.
It might border on depressing rather than sad though. |
