Add that to Decades and Leave Me Alone and you’ve got three sad songs that are also three of the best album closers ever. All by Manc bands and recorded in a timespan of just a few years.
I'll throw this into the mix too,another Manc band

There's some great heart-wrenching/ thoughtful songs I'd forgotten about, out there:
Culture Club - 'Victims'
Tear inducing and absolutely beautiful 'Rainy Night in Georgia' version by Randy Crawford.
So perfect and heartfelt!
John Mayer - 'Stop This Train'. Depressing when you you think about life and time.

I cant post vids but if you google Nina Simone - Alone Again Naturally you will find possibly the weirdest but saddest song ever.
If you are old enough to remember Gilbert O'Sullivan, he wrote the original where in the first verse he was going to throw himself of a tower and commit suicide ! well Nina changed the words (or someone did and she sang them about her Dad dying.

The main man on top form with what he described as the best guitar solo he ever did. Seen Dweez do it live a few years ago, tears rolling down his cheeks. Incredible.

A song with propensity to penetrate the soul of mortal man. An absolute masterpiece and beautiful beyond the chosen word. Voted by numerous groups as the greatest build in classical music and who am I too argue:
Adagio: With the Zagreb philharmonic orchestra:
Bellismo Hauser Bellisimo !

It is indeed an outstanding piece of music, used in many films I’m sure but to devastating effect in Manchester by the sea

Wow Mr Bob, that, whilst very good, is very sombre music, not perhaps sad which is why I say sombre - or deep even. It's still playing as I type.

Take it from the 4.40 mark and the build is immense. A very emotional piece.

The last Floyd album before Roger Waters left the band. Constant squabbling between him and the rest of the band over the direction the band was taking.
I loved Syd Barrett's early influence on Floyd and Roger Waters influence over the years has been the best for me. However I love the hazy lazy mellow guitar playing and influence of Dave gilmour too. But this album is heavy dark and sad.
Gilmour constantly at Loggerheads with Waters over Rodger's doom and gloom was indeed the final cut.
