I haven’t heard a sadder song than this in my life I think yet. Both it’s choices instrumentally, melodically, and lyrically are very sad
https://www.youtube.com/embed/prDoGmY5kj8The entire 1989 album "Disintegration" by The Cure is a sad album. It's considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest albums ever.

Don't take my word for it; listen to Kyle from South Park:

To me, the two best songs - and the saddest - are "Prayers for Rain" and the title track, "Disintegration".
"Prayers for Rain"

Here is the whole album in a single video:
... and as a playlist:
www.youtube.com/playlistThis is going to sound crazy because I absolutely love music I love the vibe I love the tone the tune the beat the Rhythm everything about music I love but I cannot tell use the name of one song LOL and you would think that I would know the words to a song If I really like it I mean I do know some words but it all Blends into a Harmony into one emotional beat in rhythm and that's all I have to hear I don't have to hear the words to make it a sad song the musical tell me how sad it really is if that makes sense
Since I'm kinda melancholic by nature, I think I know too many sad songs, lol

Guess can start with a classicThis song was sad on it's own, even more sad now that he took his life, being so relatable to anyone who have struggled with suicidal thoughts, feeling like they are the only that cares in a world that is so cold.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tm8LGxTLtQkNext one is from one of my favorite bands, it's heavy on metaphors and symbolism, but I really love what they did with both the music video and the lyrics in this one.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/MKk1u5RMTn4Can throw in a sad one from my country, since probably less known. This one is just haunting

Nothing Compares 2 U' by Sinéad O'ConnorWhen I first heard why Eric Clapton wrote "Tears in Heaven," it gave me understanding that I did not have before. Here's a explanation from google:
"The song is a tribute to love's lasting powers and a lament for the death of Clapton's four-year-old son, Conor, who died on 20 March 1991 when he accidentally slipped from the 53rd-floor window of a New York City apartment building." I also have a four year old son and cannot imagine what that would be like.

His mother was paralyzed from a stroke for 27 years and some change (roughly 10,000 days) and passed away. The song and album title is a tribute to her, and does a complete 180 from the last song he wrote about her, "Judith" by A Perfect Circle, which was strongly critical to her faith: "Fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ," "Praise for one who left you broken down and paralyzed. He did it all for you."- https://www.youtube.com/embed/fzQ6gRAEoy0
I mean the video helps this a lot to be sad but it is the saddest song.

Some songs need context. Much to the same of Parasyte The Maxim, Next to you. And then of course the Tokyo Ghoul, Unravel.
Then there is silent hill songs which are all ambience within sadness and darkness.A recent thing would be League of legends Arcane, Goodbye. I love What could of been too but Goodbye wins me I think.

It's not the saddest, but it's up there.
Also a fellow Melanie Martinez fan, I see. I avoid sad songs like the plague.
I much prefer happy songs like the one I put in this myTake :)

I had to dig through my playlist. I think most of my favorites aren't so sad. This one seems a bit tragic and hopeless though:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/aL4EMYzazgMAvicii wake me up
little Wayne I feel like dying
korn coming undone
evanescence bring me back to life
Kevin gates reasonable suspicion
Nothing the script
tracy chapmen give me one reason
hank Williams I’m so lonesome
johnny mandel suicide is painless
J. cole Can I holla at ya
Biggie smalls suicidal thoughts
The killers White demon love song
G-eazy me, myself and I
And Justin Bieber baby listen to it enough and you will cry 😂I think No Tears Left to Cry by Ariana Grande is both sad and hopeful. Also a lot of folk ballads are very sad (Mary Hamilton by Joan Baez because the girl gets executed for killing her baby at the end).
I still have a hard time listening to this song without getting emotional. The lyrics hits. Hard.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/enu8wwbDVDMIt's amateur hour over here, these new songs aren't sad. Here's parts of two great classical music pieces from the earlier part of the 1900's, used in two great movies
