The 1990s still feel like yesterday...
That's a great choice. Another one that for some reason is in the same brain space for me, also beautifully sad, though they're from different movies:

My girlfriend always gives me shit for my penchant for old country. One day while driving 'Always On My Mind' came on shuffle on the Ipod. She rolled her eyes like always. After a couple of minutes, I look over and she had tears streaming down her face. Willie got her good.
Not old country but this one will do it to me:

Anything by Billie Holiday:
Here're two that always make me sad:
"The Tulsa Queen and you, are gone…"

"The last time I felt like this, I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire…"

Sorry, the sadest part about listing to the Gary Jules version was listening to the Gary Jules version. Slowing down a sad song doesn't make it sadder. I am just to used to this version.

Yes! Great song!
Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive.
I have come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down
Out on ninety five
And pretend that it's the ocean
coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean
Baby do you know what I mean
Go ahead... I dare you not to feel sad when you listen to this:

Not an Eddie Vedder fan generally, but he channels Leonard Cohen well here.
he walks some weird ass dogs by my place sometimes; always a trip to pass him on the sidewalk.
:fmicon:
Sad in so many ways. A dying man singing his swan song:

I bet a lot of you guys can relate to this song about a son and his father trying to work out their differences:
http://youtu.be/uGDA0Hecw1k
Unfortunately I lived these lyrics:
I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
This is getting heavy.... I need to find something to make me laugh!
Weed, whiskey, and Warren Zevon. - Hank Moody
Surprised no one has Cats in the Cradle'd us yet.
Yeah but that Dad got what he deserved. So maybe not so sad?
If we're going to get old like that how about a song by Gordon Lightfoot:

Whoa, whoa, whoa.....
So bad Irul!
Oh.... Love Jim Croce. Always have to laugh at these old songs that mention things that don't really exist anymore like using the operator for numbers or a phone call that cost a dime.
