He Stopped Loving Her Today
Man spends his whole life clinging to the hope he can reunite with the woman he loves... and finally stops loving her when he dies. Considered by many to be the greatest country songs of all time. Beautifully sung by the late George Jones backed up symphony strings and a choir, you would have to agree that it is better than the vast majority of songs on this list.

Eve, The Apple Of My Eye - Bell X1
This song is about a couple who have been through heaven and hell with eachother.
The relationship has been full of ups and downs, but the downs have proved just too troublesome and severe for the couple to be happy in a relationship, even though they will always love eachother.

Pink- perfec
This song is out to people who has been bullied and think very low of theirself for people who go through peer pressure to smoke and drink and more...pink tells her story about what she been through to let us know that she knows how it feels but she is still here fighting to be perfect because everyone is .this song is sad but at the same time makes you want to do something with the world like bullies and believe in yourself.i think this song should be #1 espacially for kids (i myself am a 12 year old ) thanks.

Exile Vilify by The National
The song immediately has a somber tone to it, set in C/A minor, and just the first line of the lyrics seals the sad atmosphere, "Exile.. It takes your mind, again.."
Further lyrics display an air of hopelessness: "You've got sucker's luck/ Have you given up?"
While others seem to instill a feeling of ineptitude and failure: "Does it feel like a trial?/ Did you fall for the same empty answers again?"
In all, this song was one of the first to ever make me cry, it's at once so beautiful, but so sad as well.

Three Peaches- Neutral Milk Hotel
The weary singing, the the minor sounding bassline (i guess) and the sickining lyrics reek of true depression. "There is no dream so wake up and run your lips across your fingers till you find some scent of yourself that you can hold up high to remind yourself that you didn't die" is the most depressing opener in existence. Look up this song.
