Does the saddest song have to be a cover?
In that case I nominate:
Swans - Love Will Tear Us Apart

(Possibly my favourite cover version of anything)

The Hollies - "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" played at my brother's funeral 6 weeks ago. That's been the saddest song for me this year.

One of my favoutite unsad songs was "Wonderful World" sang by Louis Armstrong.
However, my sister played it at her young son's funeral.
Can you imagine that song in that setting?
Suddenly, it became the saddest song I have ever heard!
-m.
She had cancer, so she had time to plan the ceremony.
The last song was "A wonderful World" , but not the Luios Armstrong version, rather a version with just a guitar (I think) , and singing being played "reggae" style.
Very Simple. Very Beautiful and sad.
It's a sad and beautiful world.
Sounded like some big Samoan guy playing it or somethin'
