The two saddest songs in rock 'n roll:
"The River" by Bruce Springsteen
"Brick" by Ben Folds Five
Songs about what might have been are always tougher than songs about having had something and lost it. Devastating. -

In Response to Re: Which songs make you tear up?:There's A Tear In My Beer (".....Cause I'm crying for you dear"). I think maybe, both Hank Wiliams Sr. and Jr., sang this song. Does anybody out there know who wrote and/or sang this song for hits?I looked it up on Wikipedia. Hank Williams Sr. wrote There's A Tear In My Beer, but it appears his recording was not released. Later, Jr. recorded and released it. In fact using superimposing technology, an award winning Grammy (1990) was won where both Sr. and Jr. were both in the same video, even though Sr. was deceased. Rest In Peace.

Clearly the list was made by someone over 60 with an Adele reference thrown in to prove they weren't old (fail).
Classic - So Far Away (Carole King)
80's - Shoot that Poison Arrow (ABC)
Contemporary - Happy to go with Adele - Heck her middle name is Blue. -

All modern pop songs. But that's more because I'm either trying to hold the vomit in, or have just finished releasing it profusely. -

+1. Nazareth's version is the best. Covered several times. I believe The Everly Bros. did the original, but I could be wrong.
Also, Bridge Over Troubled Water Simon & Garfunkel -

Old Shep by Elvis Presley:
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead -

I Can't Stop Loving You Ray Charles
Ask The Lonely Four Tops
You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' Rightous Brothers
I could go on and on. -
