...Most heart-trenching, tragic, dramatic, emotional song/music you have ever listened to ?

"Ruth Marie" by Mark Kozelek. I only listened to it once. I prefer melancholy music but it's too sad even for me.

I thought Bleed by Cold is really sad. I'll have to put more thought into THE saddest song.

Unlistenably sad. :( Destroys me.

So does "Minstrel Boy" - Joe Strummer's cover of it. I think it was used in "Blackhawk Down" too. I cry every time I hear it. It perfectly reflects my loss, purges out stuff even when I don't want it to.

When Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah plays during The Edukators. (Yes, I know it's a Leonard Cohen cover.)

I don't understand this. For all we know, he was covered in chocolate syrup, wearing only a giant diaper when he recorded that.

Johnny was so sick and defeated, Lat. It was truly sad. :(

The soundtrack to Requiem For A Dream.
There was a time in my life when I was in a very dark place, and I would listen to this soundtrack on repeat.

It's composed of 33 tracks I believe, 11 tracks per season.

Clint Mansell is awesome.

I don't really know what the words to Hallelujah are, but every time I hear it the whole atmosphere of the song makes me sad. My vote is for this:
