I was never much of a Bee Gee's fan, but the one they did about the mining disaster ("Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones") was exquisitely sad. So is Brian Wilson's "Warmth of the Sun". EVERYONE has done an amazing job with this topic - I could read the responses for hours.

I don't know who this is and I really don't want to. From this picture, she looks better suited to an episode or two of "Desperate Housewives" than to the freakin' "Saddest Songs of All-Time" list!

If you hadn't heard her music or this song, then you probably wouldn't understand. I suggest to at least look up the song and give it a listen or at least read the lyrics before you condemn her. Her vocals along with the words make this song a powerful statement against the worst, in my honest opinion, crimes in the world.

I scanned the list for this song. I knew it would be here. I love this song and cry every single time. The video is amazing. When I saw at the end that her little friend was an angel waiting for her, I cried for an hr. It was sooo touching. Please watch the video!

Abuse is recycled. Everytime I hear some idiot brag about how his old man use to beat the crap out of him I cringe.

When this came out I was about 6 and these things were happening to me, I cried when it came on the radio in class, my teacher asked what was wrong and she got me out of there to foster care for a while, it's better now, somewhat, but it still makes me cry...

This is one of THE most depressing songs known to man. WHY hasn't the child abused stopped yet? Why beat a child to begin with?
