Out of all of them I would say "Casimir Pulaksi Day" by Sufjan Stevens is the saddest - such profound lyrics about a lover who dies of cancer. Tragic but intensely moving. Another sad story song, absent from the list, is "I remember me" by The Silver Jews. Beautiful track. There are lots of unsigned artists on myspace with some brilliant sad songs. One particular artist I came across recently is Barnaby Griffin who has a great sad story song called "Sad Eyes". His production is a bit ropey but the emotion still shines through. Here is where you can hear it, as well as the rest of his "Casimir Pulaski Day" by Sufjan Stevens is a tragic yet beautiful song. So, too, is "I remember me" by Silver Jews, about a guy in love who falls into a coma and wakes up to find his girl has moved on. I recently came across an unisgned artist called Barnaby Griffin who writes solely sad music. He could do with more professional production but has a fantastic sad story song called "Sad Eyes". Here it is plus the rest of his<a href="http://www.myspace.com/barnabygriffin" rel="nofollow"> sad songs</a>. An incredible and comprehensive list.

Not only is it hilarious. He actually gets a SCHOOL PRINCIPAL to change a disciplinary rule based on this: Also, if you happen to see Seb eating anything over the next few weeks, please remove the food from him immediately. He forgot to feed his turtle last week and I feel a month without food will help him understand both the importance of being a responsible pet owner and the effects of malnutrition. That one is definitely a 9. no way is flash drive infringement only a 7. Not only is it hilarious. He actually gets a SCHOOL PRINCIPAL to change a disciplinary rule based on this:

No one would have sent you this one, and I guess I didn't see this update of yours... The song that has most recently done this tear jerking thing, for me, was a collaboration between two (Vancouver,British Columbia) small time artists, Dan Mangan and Shane Koyczan. It's called Move, Pen, Move/Tragic Turn of Events. It is phenomenal. Spectacular. Amazingly raw, but a word to anyone who has suffered the pain of a loss, you will be upset by it. It's extremely strong! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2UmkpAia6Q What a list!
