the saddest music in the world

Gavin Bryars original version of "Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet"
 
Has anyone seen this movie? i tried to watch all but didnt get a chance back in my rental store days. It was pretty weird.

"Calling You" by Jevetta Steele from this film is the song that first came to mind when I read the post title but it's more depressing than sad really.

The saddest song I think would be Arvo P??rt's Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten.

To me, it's a great style piece that doesn't have much replay value.
 
Where have all the flowers gone

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls pick them, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to young men, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young men gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone to soldiers, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

And where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, a long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, every one!
When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

And where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, every one!
When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn?

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them, every one.
Oh, when will they ever learn?
Oh, when will they ever learn?
 
there are heart-breaking moments in Bach's cello suites.

i am willing to be ridiculed and say that some Joy Division songs are beyond bleak
