Was actually a Leonard Cohen track, but Jeff has a better voice.

I'd enter 'counting crows - colourblind' into the wrist-slitting category. That and the majority of radiohead.

Walking in the Air - Nightwish
Love Song for a Vampire - Annie Lennox
Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics
May It Be - Enya
I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders
November Rain - Guns N Roses
Last Song - Elton John
Full of Grace - Sarah McLachlan

Good thread. How about Pink Floyd's - Good by cruel world song

or Smashing Pumpkins - Siamesse Dream, the whole album

All I can think of now.

 

[neegotiator]

Michal Andrews & Gary Jules - Mad World

 

[SilentRavens]

A few come to find...

Metallica - The Unforgiven
Johnny Cash - Hurt (or rather his cover of it)
Red Hot Chile Peppers - Otherside

 

[nakedfrog]

Ben Folds Five - Brick

 

[imported_Imp]

Aimee Mann - I've Had It, That's how I knew this story..., You Do, Wise Up, Video, Little Bombs
U2 - Stay, Kite

 

[Midlander]

Without You - Harry Nillson
Words You Say - Moody Blues
Everything I Own - Bread

The first two are about losing a female. The last is about the writer's dad. All very sad.

 

[SWScorch]

Enya - Only Time
Opeth - Hours of Wealth
Porcupine Tree - Collapse Light Into Earth, Heart Attack in a Layby
Gary Jules - Mad World

Good pick, though it needs the rabbit video to make it that impacting.

My own vote is for Moonlight Sonata.

Also covered by Rufus Wainwright, which is the version I personally prefer.

 

[thomsbrain]

"Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," by The Smashing Pumpkins ought to fit your request pretty well. Yes, they spell it that way.

 

[WildDreamer]

Fisher - I Will Love You

 

[CraKaJaX]

Clapton - Tears in Heaven

 

[DainBramaged]

Max Payne 2 Theme. Still available at the website, I believe.

 

[drum]

Matt Costa - Wash Away

I might have to look into that...
