TOP 'SAD SONGS' EVER RECORDED
This list is based on a compilation of multiple published and
unpublished 'saddest song' lists. Since the degree of sadness evoked by a song
is a personal and individual experience, nearly every list of this nature is
vigorously debated—based on personal tastes, experiences, and reactions to
songs.
However, the songs listed here—especially in the top 100—are some of the most
unanimously agreed-upon 'saddest songs of all time' according to a number of
music critics and according to online comments and forum posts across the Internet; which
in this particular case, happens to be a valid source, at least in seeking a
degree of consensus.
Beyond the 'Top 100' or so, these songs are ranked in a somewhat arbitrary
order. But to whatever degree these songs are 'ranked,' they should be considered 'ranked'
primarily on their level of perceived sadness, and secondarily on their
(perceived) popularity and quality.
A classic song of immeasurable esteem may be ranked in this list below a newer song of
generally-lower esteem—only because of the song's 'level of perceived sadness'
(and perhaps its emotion-evoking capability), and not necessarily because it is
considered a 'lesser' song. Obviously, a newer song could not be considered
'better' than an enduring and treasured classic. So the original intent of this
list should be kept in mind—to avoid any misunderstanding as to what this 'list'
represents.
Songs ranked higher in the list may be considered extremely sad. Songs ranked
lower in the list may be considered 'sad-to-melancholy', while perhaps also
being considered memorable and enjoyable—in the cathartic sense.
In future revisions of this list, some songs will need to be moved up or down;
others will need to be added, and some may be removed altogether, if the
general perception is that they do not belong in this list.
The release year listed refers to the artist's particular release, since many
songs were previously recorded.

The goal of this list is to
rank songs closest to the top which are either
considered among the 'saddest songs of all time' or
among the 'best-loved sad songs' — based on existing
'sad song lists', online comments, and forum postings.
