It is hard to name the saddest song.... Example. Cohen's "Hallelujah" was mentioned. While it has a sad quality, there is also something uplifting about it; especially the last verse. I am no familiar with "Les Miserables" (the musical, I do know the book), so can't comment.

One I have always found sad is "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles.

I'm not sure if anybody's heard this, since this comes from an anime, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. The title is Continued Story and it was the ending or closing song of the final episode of the anime. The music is lovely and eerie and just SO beautiful, despite being kind of sad: (This is the one with the lyrics).

And this is the one with video clips from the anime. By the way, this is a really amazing AMV:


I guess it helps that the anime also has an amazing plot. It's certainly far from ordinary and predictable.
