Cure my Tragedy - Cold (hit's close to home).

eric clapton tears in heaven
roy orbison crying or in the real world.
ray charles georgia
some blues music has that sad feeling like,
billy holiday gloomy sunday.
Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coaches
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldnt they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy sunday

Gloomy is sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and i
Have decided to end it all
Soon therell be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that Im glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death Im caressin you
With the last breath of my soul
Ill be blessin you

Gloomy sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy sunday

I have to agree with most of the people that said Johnny Cash. A lot of his songs were so sad and depressing. The songs "I Hung My Head" and "Hurt" are so deeply emotional that it makes me want to cry when listening to him say the words.

Another song that I think that is pretty sad (or maybe just haunting) is from one of my top 10s. It's the song called "My Mind's Eye" by Sirenia. Here is part of the lyrics.

If you are down
I will come to chain you to the ground
And penetrate your mind.
If you are lost *if only you are lost*
I'll be there to break your trust
And ravage all your lust for life, my love
You will never realize
What darkness lies inside
inside my mind.
