"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." I cannot hear this song without thinking of all the people I have loved and lost throughout my lifetime, my husband, my dad, my friend Jill and others. And the people who have just drifted out of my life.

ACHILLES COME DOWN
Racing Into The Night by Yoasobi. It sounds beautiful and upbeat, but it is very much not.
OMG I LITERALLY LOVE THIS SONG SM. When I saw the meaning I cried so hard tho
Literally anything by Citizen Soldier, Six Pills by Rosendale (I think anything by Rosendale really), Fine by Kyle Hume, The Lonely by Christina Perri, and anything by Skippy. I could name so many sad songs.
Liability by Lorde
This is a good one but I think unless you relate to this song you wouldn't be able to understand the depth of it
Pretty much anything by Mitski. My favorite is "I want you" I cry every time I hear it 👍
Everyone always talks about the Night We Met, but no one ever talks about Lord Huron's other music. The song is called Love Like Ghosts, and it talks about the singer who has endured much suffering in their life, and their intense desire to just be loved by someone... or at least, to convince themselves that they are loved by someone, even if the other party's feelings aren't completely there in return. Example lyric: "Yes, I know love is like ghosts. Few have seen it but everybody talks."
Another song that I strongly recommend is an unreleased song by Alex G called "I Wait for You." This is very close to me because of a personal experience. It's perfect for anyone who has lost a partner, crush, friend, or family member and isn't quite ready to let them go yet.
Say Goodnight, Not Goodbye by Beth Nielsen Chapman
How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye by Patty Loveless
This Used To Be My Playground…Madonna
How Can I Help You to Say Goodbye was one the the keystone songs of my childhood. So much richness! 😔
In the Ghetto by Dolly Parton. Elvis also has a version, but I prefer Dolly on this.
Broken window serenade bye Whiskey Myers. kinda random but I found it online one day love sad music so this wasn't a difficult question.
Meant to say by sorry but don't be the people who will comment *by
Ghost by Badflower. Doesn't necessarily sound said but the lyrics and how it's sung is absolutely haunting.
