Your Favourite Sad Song.
 
The one song guaranteed to get your bottom lip quivering and your hand reaching for the whiskey.

Tom Waits' 'Martha' has a tendency to create floodstorms during post-pub hours at DR666 Towers.

"Good Feeling" by Violent Femmes, and also
"Lua" by Bright Eyes.

and countless others

'Martha' happened to be on while I was drunkenly creating this thread, so I know exactly what you mean.

Alice, as we're on Tom Waits

demonrail666 06.27.2007 09:34 PM

Why are all of Tom Wait's saddest songs named after women? No, actually, no need to answer that.

Aye "Quaffs whiskey"

lungfish 06.27.2007 09:59 PM

'how do you keep love alive' by ryan adams is currently one of my favorites.

k-krack 06.27.2007 10:10 PM

Oh man, I gave up at M and like, 60 songs.
I'll just say, "a bunch of Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu and stuff..."

Pax Americana 06.27.2007 10:38 PM

Hmmm... Just off the top of my head:

Names - Cat Power
The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory - Guided By Voices (I don't why I find this song so sad, but it really effects me)
Let Down - Radiohead
How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
Pictures Of You - The Cure
Flowers And Trees - The Bats

I'll agree with K-krack and say "a bunch of Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu" as well.
