Yeah, no need to merge, but there's definately some good stuff in there. I mean, it introduced me to Porcupine Tree, which basically makes it my favorite thread ever. :p

Anyway, in addition to those...

The Cure - Pictures of You
Mike Ness - Cheating At Solitaire
Amanda Palmer - The Point Of It All
Porcupine Tree - Feel So Low
Portishead – The Rip
Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely (And Never Be Found Again)
Radiohead – Motion Picture Soundtrack
The Replacements - Here Comes A Regular
U2 – Bad
The Velvet Underground – Pale Blue Eyes

These other songs aren't necessarily sad, at least in the sense of the previous ones, but I find them affecting in some way, being nostalgic or bittersweet or wistful or some other reason

Interpol – NYC
The Kinks – Waterloo Sunset
Oasis - Live Forever
Oasis - Slide Away
Nine Inch Nails – Zero Sum
Pavement – Range Life
Pearl Jam – Nothingman
The Pogues – Fairytale of New York
Porcupine Tree - Heartattack In A Layby
Porcupine Tree – Sentimental
Radiohead - Faust Arp
Radiohead – Videotape
Ride - Vapour Trail

Oh excellent choices. I struggle to even listen to Heartattack in a Layby! Portishead and Radiohead certainly do their best to make me well up that's for sure.

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. Obvious, but still...

Also, Time by Pink Floyd often makes me want to just end it all. :lol:
 
Not so much a song as a melody, but Mercede's Lullaby in Pan't Labyrinth I consider to be very sad. Of course, this is given the context in when it's used in the final scene of the movie....
