Sgt. Mackenzie sung in old Scottish. It tears me and gives me nightmares. This is the song from We Were Soldiers.

There's a version where his orchestra plays Amazing Grace after the Guard comes in playing Scotland the Brave

Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland
I cannot hear it but I break out laughing remembering the Smothers Brothers version. 14 yrs old in 68.

Tapps, It send a chill up mry spine every time I hear it. that and the follow-up chores, the rifle salute.
All country songs, but especially the one where the guys wife runs off with his best friend, and now he doesn't have a dog.

My nephew was in the navy home on leave at a southern naval base. He was late getting back to the ship on a motorcycle. A truck pulled out infront of him. He died. At the funeral I held it together until the gun salute and the taps started playing. I lost it. The ship sent their van with his shipmates. I gave them a $100 bill so they could buy a round of drinks on me. A military funeral is very sad.

If THIS isn't the saddest song you've ever heard, I don't want to know what is!

Many of these sad songs can really hit a nerve.
Here's one I don't think was already mentioned.
Kingston Trio's Tom Dooley.

What about the theme song from The Alamo ?
I guess it´s The Green Leaves of Summer and if I recall correctly composed by Victor Young.

Gary Jules arrangement of Tears for Fears song Mad World (Donnie Darko soundtrack). Maybe depressing is more accurate.
"Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow;
no tomorrow, no tomorrow.
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad;
the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take;
when people run in circles it's a very very, mad world."

'Tears in Heaven'. Surely there is no greater love, or greater loss.
It gets to me even to think about it.
