Does any piece of music make you feel really sad?

I love that piece and it's actually very uplifting for me. I find that every piece of music that makes me feel sad, brings about a happiness at the same time. It's a joyous sad.

- Have actually always wanted Gymnopedie to be the song that is played as my 'to be wife' walks down the isle.
 
Chinese piece of music by Faye Wong that I always feel very sad listening to, touching melody and even just half-understanding the lyrics is very touching too!
 
Lisa Gerrard & Denez Prigent - Gortoz A Ran taken from the Blackhawk Down soundtrack, but apparently written by Prigent in memory of the September 11th 2001 attacks in the US.


No idea what's being sung as Denez Prigent sings in Bretón, a dying French Gaelic dialect, but it's still a mournful and haunting piece in my opinion.
 




all amazing and make me feel sad because I associate them all with different events, oddly none of them being death. The bunnies video for the death cab for cutie song is beautiful
 
I listen to a lot of chillout and ambient, some of which can really get you.




That said, I think (for me at least) it depends on the mood I'm in. I don't really feel sad listening to these now, but in the right mood (or wrong, as the case may be) they can be rather effective.
 
Percy's Song - Bob Dylan.

Sorry, can't find a decent cover on youtube. There's a decent(ish) Joan Baez with Bob typing in the background, but not really worth linking.

Dylan's version is just so matter of fact in the telling of injustice. Well worth a listen if you can find the original.
 
Ben Folds Five - Magic. Reminds me of someone who I don't see anymore, parted company under rather abrupt and regretful circumstances.
