A great topic, including many of my favorites. I listen to a lot of sad songs because they allow me to feel heartfelt emotion. I always come away feeling enriched, and knowing I am still human. Thanks for this one, David.

In My Life, Beatles, because we know what happened to John Lennon. You'll probably get a billion mentions of that song!

The Promise of Living, Aaron Copland from the opera The Tender Land. Full cast recording especially, because we know the characters are doomed to great sadness.
