What are some sad rock songs?

This might seem like a strange question, but I'm looking for sad rock songs. Bonus points for YouTube videos or audio links. Make sure you list the song title and the band/singer. Thanks!

I'm surprised no one has answered this yet with Trent Reznor's (NIN) "Hurt". It's the swan song of his masterpiece of despair "The Downward Spiral" It perfectly captures that last internal monologue you'd have with yourself on the bathroom floor holding a gun against your temple. Fun stuff, kids.

The saddest rock song I know of is How To Disappear Completely by Radiohead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq9t2FFh6LA


That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Ben Folds (Five) has some good, sad songs. There's the overplayed but good "Brick" of course:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axpuVLQ_m4w


But there's also "Carrying Cathy" which has a more upbeat tempo but is still super-sad.

Sorry for posting a country song, but there's Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss in Whiskey Lullaby. I don't listen to country music, but I still like that song.

There's also Pearl Jam - Last Kiss

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

And one of my very top favorites:
3 Doors Down - Here Without You

"Nine While Nine" by The Sisters of Mercy

And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
I'm killing time but it's
Better than living in what will come and
I've still got some of your letters with me and
I thought sometimes or I read too much
And I think you know
Let's drink to the dead lying under the water and the
Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the
Lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train ...

She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here, she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end
When shadows grew no longer
I knew no other friend
But you were wild
You were wild

Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane
And I've lost all sense of the world outside
but I can't forget so I call your name
And I'm looking for a life for me
And I'm looking for a life for you
And I'm talking to myself again and it's
So damn cold it's just not true and I'm
Walking through the rain
Trying to hold on, waiting for the train and I'm
Only looking for what you want but it's
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train ...

I have to make mention of Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun though. That one is on a similar level of awesome:

VELORIUM CAMPER I - FAINT OF HEARTS
COHEED AND CAMBRIA

with the worries that i'd give her in they told the worst of me
my wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze
no i'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
the sin that shapes your voice carries my ears this new disease
did somebody take your tongue?
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but i don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight
tonight sleep tight my love

the anxious through the calming storm you'll sit as you pray for rain
i'll touch if you ask me to but how is up to you
no i'm not going to let you get up if you struggle willingly
i'll favor all your form to show you how its been done to me

with all the words you say...you'll save

you were so well behaved
as you watched them change your way
this gift for you engraved
this shift as you stretch your legs
you were so well behaved
you were so well
who taught these tricks that make...you were so well behaved

if the world stops turning girl you better not stop when i say
if there was nothing you could do to stop it why'd you try
then the ground starts parting through the silence as you woke up the dead
everything here dies alone...

but i'm not quite sure what you've been told/ this unfolds...on labor day
i'm not starting with you but the faint of heart

VELORIUM CAMPER II - BACKEND OF FOREVER
cOHEED &cambria

Rocked silent in a soft lullaby
panic stirred me awakened by a ringing phone in time
where and when would I see her?
Crazy were the words that scribbled out your mouth
I stuttered replacing your face to those words
where and when would I kill her?
I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this
I wish...to the bitter end of my day
where were you?
so you had your turn and you made it work
now I'm the laughing stock of your joke
crazy as it may seem I cried for you when you
told me to date all of the things that made you end up in my life
and I'll believe anything I have no luck with girls
I overheard that you were unhappy too
misleading trust into a relationship that makes no sense
over and out Connecticut
but you had your back turned as you faded away
at the end of my day I found out
you weren't worth what I thought of you
write this down in the diary you abuse
can we make plans can I just get throught to you
is this weird...do I scare her?
I'll wish on this, I'll wish with this
I wish...that you could share the love you'd shared with others, with me
this isn't love so forever let it go...forever will it burn
this isn't love there on the backend of forever I wish I would never hurt again

velorium camper III - all the killers
coheed and cambria

At birth given scars along tender heart liberties
injustice for awkward living situated causalities
they lay dead along your flood
careful not to wake them they're sleeping
in the morrows good mourning
the dying will discard the wish to live
let this colony know in the name of the dead we're coming
when I kill her, I'll have her
die white girls, die white girls
you'll get nothing for something
arise the hidden way of a dead song, unsung
the night of your children's day
beneath the surface sealed by the floors boarded up
seal the lips of your voice with haste
and cower at the sounds as they make their way
surprise speed and malice
the opposing break the surface hold ready
will the killing veil love should the heroes play dumb
but killing's no fun when the heroes are none
bye, bye world

Of all the songs to choose from.. I think special consideration has to go to Johnny Cash's version of NIN's Hurt..

Lyrically and melodically it is without a doubt the saddest rock song ever, however, Johnny Cash's vocal performance is just heart breaking.

It's worth knowing that Johnny did this record knowing he only had a little time left to live.

most covers of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Come Sail Away by Styx

A song demonstrating a waste of rock talent. Now THAT's sad...

You may not know this, by Tears in Heaven was inspired by the death of Clapton's 4 year old son. The death also inspired Clapton's song "Circus"

and a song by Phil Collins "Since I Lost You" (Clapton and Collins are friends).

i have to agree on the answer above--beck's "lost cause" and much of that album is pretty downbeat...

not to be obvious, but "sad song" by lou reed comes to mind...

The River by Springsteen. One of the saddest lines in all of rock and roll is: "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?"

Lot's of potential answers here depending on how you define "rock" - possibly the saddest of all time, and it's been credited with a number of suicides, is "Gloomy Sunday" - the version I know of has been performed by Bjork but there are quite a few others on Youtube:
