Yeah sure.
It'll take me a while though, I'm going to try to listen to as many of the songs they have kindly recommended and then I usually spend quite a while getting the track order right. Me and my friends take mixes very seriously!
Also, I'm not feeling so sad anymore!

Tindersticks - 'Tiny Tears', 'City Sickness', 'Sleepy Song', 'Mistakes', 'Cheery Blossoms', 'Travelling Light'
Sonic Youth - 'Beauty Lies in the Eye'
Smog - 'All Your Women Things', 'River Guard'
The Fall - 'Bill is Dead', 'Birthday Song'
Joy Division - 'New Dawn Fades', 'Decades', 'Heart & Soul'
The Czars - 'Paint the Moon', 'Drug'
Cocteau Twins - 'Otterley', 'Half-gifts'
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - 'Careless Love'
Arab Strap - 'Screaming in the Trees', 'Last Orders'
Lambchop - 'The Old Gold Shoe', 'Interrupted'
A Silver Mount Zion - '16 Angels Standing Guard 'round the side of your Bed'
Throwing Muses - 'Run Letter'
This Mortal Coil - 'Barramundi', 'Waves Become Wings'
Scott Walker - 'Another Tear Falls'
Hank Williams - 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'

Spotted nice typo in my last post - that Tinderstsicks song should be 'Cherry Blossoms', not 'Cheery Blossoms'!

By the way, the Tindersticks back catalogue plunders a whole well of beautiful, whiskey-soaked sorrow - my little list only scratches the surface...

Michael Nyman - "Fish Beach"
Lambchop - "The Saturday Option"
Brian Eno - "Becalmed," "The Big Ship"
Magnolia Electric Co. - "Just Be Simple"

the saddest song ever is "Rusty its goodbye".
by Slim Dusty.

hands down.
I win.

Roger Miller "One Dyin' and a Buryin'"

I hate to be the Elliott Smith guy in the room but we are five pages into this thread and not one Elliott song?

Ok, I will be that guy.

Most Elliott songs actually make me smile but I would offer this one based solely on its utter honesty.

"Abused" - Elliott Smith
