Actually Bowie's should be the #1 because it is the actual farewell letter of a musician to his fans and to the world, literal hours before his actual death.

You forgot to mention the fact that in the Ghost of You video, the man who dies is the lead singer’s brother, which makes it even more depressing when you think about the fact that he had said that one of his biggest fears is losing the people he loves.

The ghost of you and wake me up when September ends always make me cry. Mikey’s death and the male character in the videos made me rethink how temporary everything is. I also love the scientist, hurt, and lazurus. David Bowie was an icon who will never be forgotten.

They didn’t die, Freddie went to Mercury David went to Mars

What about spongebob Gary come home Makes me cry every time Thanks for the like maybe this will make Gary come home

1. Moby - Wait For Me 2. Soul Asylum - Runaway Train 3. Johnny Cash - Hurt 4. Coldplay - The Scientist 5. My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You 6. Kelly Rowland - Stole 7. David Bowie - Lazarus 8. Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends 9. Modest Mouse - Little Motel 10. Hozier - Take Me To Church There, save you a watch

"When September Ends" has always made me upset. My dad passed and his birthday is in September. My dog died in September when I was in high school. I feel like something else happened. idk.

The song, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”, was written about the singer’s father who tragically passed away from cancer on September 1st 1982. Billie, the singer, ran home during the funeral because he couldn’t handle it, his worried mother followed him and knocked on his locked bedroom and Billie simply yelled, “Wake me Up When September ends!” Hence the title.

I think Days Of Our Lives by Queen should be on the list. watching Freddie Mercury dying on AIDS on screen and still singing is heartbreaking

Freddie Mercury's last video for queen, These Are the Days of Our Lives was pretty heartbreaking. He was clearly very ill and close to death when he made it. The final line of the song was so heartfelt.

1. Jeremy by Pearl Jam (based on a true story) 2. Facedown by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Lazarus still makes me emotional today. I was in so much denial that he had passed. However, Lazarus was written before he was diagnosed. I think his death 2 days after the release of Black Star though made it more impactful. I have a blue bird tattooed on my arm as a tribute to him. He was an amazing man. He was the star man that we deserved

Bowie has to be number one as it`s not just personal pretense but based in his own reality !

How the fuck is Lazarus not #1? It's literally about himself dying.

For my personal senses, Modest Mouse's Little Motel is the saddest by far. Its captures a feeling of helplessness and our inability to change events, probably because of some puzzle like elements of the video. Although the Cold Play video was similar, I still think Modest Mouse's is sadder.... Probably because its about a mother and son, and I have a little son so it just hit hard for me.

Wake me up when September ends is actually about Billie's dad because he died in September

Where my David Bowie fans?

Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' is by far the saddest song/video ever...

David Bowie never died. HE LIVES IN OUR HEARTS!

Never heard "Little Motel" before, after seeing this video I looked it up, made me cry. However her son was already dead when she took him.

The true story behind Wake Me Up When September Ends was far sadder and painful. It was about Armstrong dealing with his father's death.

1} Bowie = Lazarus 2} Cash = Hurt 3} Paisley = Whiskey Lullaby

I cried so hard when I saw Lazarus the first time, and I still tear up watching it. Seeing such a legendary artist in such a fragile and vulnerable state, knowing he was about to die, making this moving tribute and leaving the fans with something hauntingly beautiful. To know that he accepted his death and embraced it in such a way is beautiful, and I hope that one day when it's my time, I can embrace it as beautifully and honestly as David Bowie did.

Why isn't These Are the Days of Our Lives here?

Who else cried when they saw David Bowie, Green Day, and mcr?

i saw the thumbnail, and instantly clicked. lazerus is by far the saddest thing ever. BOWIE KNEW HE WAS GONNA DIE SOON! HE WAS SAYING GOODBYE.

"Little Motel" by Modest Mouse makes me weep.

I heard that during the filming of Ghost Of You, Gerard was actually getting very upset, because it was his real life brother Mikey who was killed in the video. This video always makes me tear up ngl

David Bowie should have been on top of this list. All you can do is make the best of what time is given you, and that he did. He turned his death into a haunting masterpiece. How brave he was to face death like that. He is a legend that will be missed .

I always wanted MCR's The Ghost Of You to be made into a movie.

3:49 I thought it was about Billie Joe's dad dying in September the lyrics are more fitting in my opinion

Suddenly, when I heard the intro of #5, I just felt total shivers on my whole body. I really love this song!

the saddest part of the ghost of you is that Mikey, the lead singer (Gerard)'s brother is the one who dies and you can see the pain on gerard's face when he can sense Mikey's death

They forgot one song They forgot Gary come home from spongebob ;( Edit:ahhhh that was my childhood before cringy things took over ;)

Bowie was a legend in every sense. INSPIRED MANY MUSICIANS LIKE NIRVANA

What is with Queen's "The show must go on". When you know why Freddie written this, than its so sad :,(

"Wake me up when september end" and "The ghost of you" omg I am crying just from thinking about these videos

I saw the title and I was like “I swear if they don’t put the ghost of you...”

When I heard Hurt by Johnny Cash, I remembered my aunt Ruthy because she died a few months ago. Her death caused her son, Kevin to try to kill himself. He lives with us and I was so sad that he tried to do that and hugged him causing him to almost fall over. I miss my Aunt Ruthy.

Who legit burst into tears when they saw. "Take me to church" bc they have gone thru similar s*it

Me: * sees David Bowie * Me: * clicks immediately * Me: * starts crying * Also did I see The Ghost Of You in the intro? * former emo intensifies *

I cried so hard the first time I saw 'Little Motel' came out when my kid was about 2 years old and it filled me with fear and heartbreak like no video before or after has. Truly beautifully hurtful video.

Hurt is masterpiece....first time I heard it was at the end of Logan movie...sent shivers down my spine...

I have heard stories of my father crying when Johnny cash died... I love old country songs with so much pride I will keep his music living

When you're a stereotypical emo teen so you flip out when Green Day and MCR are on there.

1 - UP them song 2 - Come home Gary (spongebob)

Me: these aren't that sad "Look up here, I'm in heaven" Me: ah shit,,

I played JC's rendition of "Hurt", as well as "Grey" by Lincoln Park at my husband's funeral. I feel so much emotion anytime I hear these songs, plus he loved them so much.

God I was not expecting Ghost of you. *single emo tear*

When Mikey died... *Sobs and drowns in tears*

Seeing Mikey die and the pain in Gerard’s eyes makes me cry every time 🥺

I cried like a baby when I saw Hurt by Johnny Cash for the first time, and I still do, each time I see it. June was dead a few weeks after the song was recorded, and he followed a few months after her. And the song is so much much him.

"Stan" by Eminem should be on this list.

Johnny Cash still takes the crown for me

I’m kinda surprised that Take Me to Church wasn’t higher. It’s all too real in today’s world.

Little motel always makes me cry so hard. It's heart wrenching.

I knew that the Ghost Of You would be on this the first time I saw it I started crying

Coldplay and MCR made me tear up. I also think bittersweet symphony should've been on here

wake me up when september ends is also about billies father who passed away about 20 years when this song was released (i’m not sure)

Wait but where is Metallica's "One"? That music video is depressing af. And Hurt should be higher.

I remember watching The Ghost of You and then stalking Mikey to make sure he was still alive......

Umm why is Gary Come Home not on this ?!? The video was so sad 😩

I'm so glad you guys included The Scientist, my fav music video ever ❤

I’m shocked Concrete Angel by Martina McBride isn’t even mentioned here. It’s by far one of the saddest music videos, shows a poor little girl getting abused by her mother and later killed

I honestly don't think I've ever been able to listen to "Hurt" by Johnny Cash without crying.....

Wake Me Up When September Ends is so powerful and perfect tears just come rolling

In the intro I saw The Ghost of You and Wake Me Up When September Ends. I stan

Wake Me Up When September Ends is one of if not my all-time favourite Green Day song. It means so much to me.

Hello darkness my old friend...

RIP David Bowie. A timeless talent, still can’t believe he’s gone.

"Into my arms" Nick Cave. Makes me cry every time.

Omg... Green Day! I was 15 when I started to love them! 🙈 Seems so so long time ago

Rest in peace, David. We will mourn you for the rest of our lives.

Ahh I love the scientist. It’s so beautiful. Don’t even get me started on MCR

what makes the ghost of you 1000 times more painful is the fact that Gerard had to watch his brother die

The ghost of you might be the most moving music video of all time, I cant watch it and not tear up, especially the ending scene, that look in his eyes, wow

Concrete Angel is a song about a girl being abused by her mother. The video shows the affect it has on her life. Just watch it please.

Modest Mouse sounds like a randomly generated Xbox Username

Lemme tell you all story real quick, when I was 10 in 2015, I saw the Lazarus music video for the first time on a react video that elders reacted to and honestly, it's effected my mental health and scared me. The emotions, the tears I shed seeing the sadness in that video scarred me and it will never be forgotten however now watching this in 2021, I realize that no matter what troubles you go through, things will get better, same for all of you

Who else could turn one's own death into such high level of fine art? Well, BOWIE could!!! Actually the whole 'Blackstar' album is such a thing!

And why is Stan not here

I’m so glad that Ghost Of You was on here. Not only is it one of the greatest music videos I’ve ever seen, but it’s so gut wrenching. Especially when you know that Mikey is the one who dies at the end, and who is Gerard’s brother. The video is done so well and the acting by the band is amazing. I really feel like it’s such an underrated video and My Chemical Romance deserves way more credit. It always leaves me in chills and with tears in my eyes. Such an amazing video.

Runaway Train is the most powerful song ever made. It's all based on kids who were kidnapped, raped and killed or abused, all across the country. While a few were found or discovered at a friend's house, most sadly were not. And it continues to occur across the world.

Little Motel has to be the saddest music video I’ve ever seen. Can’t watch it without tearing up, and I barely cry to music videos.

Why is Gary come home not on this list?

What about Rebecca Black's "Friday" video. that made me cry more than any of these

Songs that made me cry Ocean eyes Billie eilish Stay Rihanna ft mikey ekko Ashes of eden breaking benjamin Mrs Jackson outkast I fall apart post malone Changes xxxtentacton Sad xxxtentacton She cheated again Dax

I KNEW GHOST OF YOU WOULD BE HERE AND WHEN MIKEY DIES IM CRYING SOO HARD!

R.I.P David Bowie and Johnny cash

i crie everytime mikey dies and gerard cries

I feel like "see you again" should be on here I cry every time, wondering what the world would be like if Paul were still here RIP Paul Walker

What about... Routine Drive home The Raven that refused to sing All by Steven Wilson?

Still can't watch Lazarus without crying. I've literally been a fan of David Bowie since I was born (the first time I technically heard him was in utero but y'know) and it just tears my heart in two.

"Top 10 top 10's"

Gods, Take Me to Church, Runaway Train, The Ghost of You, November Rain, Hurt, and Lazarus.😢 For few future sequel countdowns, I recommend Gone Away by Five Finger Death Punch-It deals with death in combat, war, mental illness, and attempted suicide, One by Metallica is a scary video but it's sad too. Come Away Melinda by Uriah Heep.-It deals with nuclear war. You can't get sadder than that. Where the Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue- It's a haunting melancholy song and video. Home Come How Long by Stevie Wonder and Babyface-Not just because it deals with domestic violence but also how the inaction of others allows it to happen. The World I Know by Collective Soul-While it does end on a hopeful note, the majority of the video is very bleak as the protagonist is depressed about the world around him and contemplates suicide Children of the Night by Richard Marx-Similar to Runaway Train of showing video footage of real homeless children and runaways well as the backup vocals of the song are provided by real kids who were part of the Children of the Night organization. Missing You by Diana Ross-Not only a moving tribute to Marvin Gaye sung by his friend, Diana Ross and written by two other friends, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder but the video is filled with happy memories of not only Gaye but other icons of the 60's like Paul Williams of the Temptations and Florence Ballard of the Supremes. Seeing them in younger and happier days combined with Ross who can't keep it together and is in tears through the video is so moving.

Omg I saw that thumbnail and remembered the meaning of that song and then thought about how he knew he was gonna die! Rip David Bowie, I love you ❤️

Spongebob - Come Home Gary? wtf!?!

I got excited when MCR was on the list.

I wonder what was in the box in Take Me To Church.

Imagine thinking Moby is more sad than Hurt or Lazarus
