As the subject says: Would the fellow forum users be so kind as to recommend the saddest songs they have ever heard? Prog or not, it does not really matter.
I dare you to share a song that made you cry.

Made me cry?! Neither of the two I posted made me cry, but they are very sad though.

Alright, you can play the first four songs off Marillion's 'Sounds That Can't Be Made' album; Each one of them has made me cry.

This is what my mind first drifted towards upon reading the thread title; definitely one of the bleakest melodies I've ever heard, but it has never made me cry personally. I am a very emotional person and can think of plenty of songs that have brought tears to my eyes; I think I've shared Brian Eno's "Fullness Of Wind" plenty of times as an example, but the song below is a fairly reliable sob-inducer for me as well, both because of the music and the lyrics (in Dutch), which describe a slightly surreal story about a narrator who has "lost himself" in the sense of having somehow been physically separated from the part of himself that he felt defined him and could lead him to happiness, and finally taking solace in imagining that maybe the other part of him has managed to find happiness, love and fulfilment.

(song starts at 0:50)

Can't say any song has made me cry. Not trying to sound macho or anything, but I guess I'm just not affected by music in that way. 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

There is "Song to the Siren" by Tim Buckley which always brings a lump to my throat, but one of the saddest songs I know is "Sky Blue and Black" by Jackson Browne written after the suicide of his wife.

^Do you really not understand what this song is about? If you believe domestic abuse is not sad, you're a sick puppy.

This song is very sad (or at least the lyrics are).
