The 25 Most Exquisitely Sad Songs in the Whole World: No. 24

Too Late ............ Think abouy it No more words are necessary...... "TO LATE ."......SAYS IT ALL !

It's really good song.I've heard it some years ago,but today after hearing it I also feel sad.

Not a Sinbad O'Connor fan (Frank Sinatra - "Hey cueball!") at all, but I can appreciate things that aren't necessarily my taste as being one thing or another. So kudos to AOL on this pick, hard to argue even if I wouldn't listen to it ever. Definitely a gut-wrencher

"Nobodys Child" by Billy Fury, covered by Lonnie Donegan, but the Fury version is far more moving. I also find Elvis Presley "In the Ghetto" has an effect on me! Another that springs to mind is "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro. In the sixties there was a whole 'Death Genre" - things like Mark Dinning's "Teen Angel", Ricky Valence "Tell Laura I love her", Everly Brothers "Ebony Eyes", and Jody Reynolds "Endless Sleep" are among my personal favourites.

this song is not about her lover like everyone thinks it is infact about her mother dying if you listen to the lyrics you do hear her say 'all the flowers that you planted momma, in the backyard,all died when you went away' and the tear in the video was a reall tear and was not put on just for the dramatic effect!

I've got a few that I find depressingly beautiful. Just look up the lyrics and listen carefully to all songs, I promise you, you'll cry too.


1. Lover you should've come over - Jeff Buckley
2. Isolation Years - Opeth
3. Mad World - Gary Jules
4. That Home - The Cinematic Orchestra
5. Falling Again - Lacuna Coil

Im not well in english, living in an island 180 degrees opposite US. But from this song i learned what type of language the music is. Great song.

I want a mom that will last forever seems to get me every time it was from the rugrats in paris movie when the kids start dancing with their mothers but since chucky's mother died he doesn't have anyone to dance with and really misses his mother which gets me every time.

WAYYYYY too low! This is a real tear jerker. Most of the others don't come close

What the...!!! Are you people serious?! You give O'Connor a top 25 billing with a Prince song... but don't include Prince in the top 25?! Does PURPLE RAIN ring a bell here??!!! "When Doves Cry" with its uptempo beat is still a better choice than this rendition. Was I out sick the day you took polls of this survey? Can I get an Absentee Vote in?! :)
