    Friend of a Friend by Dave Grohl is poignant to an extent to look back on, he wrote and recorded it in 1990 (only released officially and re recorded in 05) after he moved in with Kurt Cobain. It's based on his first impressions of Cobain

    Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton and Dance with my Father Again by Luther Vandross. They both make me cry ANY time I hear them.

    You are my sister by the johnstones.

    Heard it at a funeral of a young woman and there wasnt a dry eye in the church.

    Luke Kelly - Come My Little Son

    Heard it first on Love Hate when
    Stumpy was killed
    . Brilliant scene and Luke Kelly's version of the song is just perfect.

    The simplicity of it all makes it one of the saddest songs I've ever heard

    Wasted and wounded
    And it ain't what the moon did
    I got what I paid for now
    See you tomorrow
    Hey Frank can I borrow
    A couple of bucks from you
    To go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
    You'll go waltzing Matilda with me....

    And it's a battered old suitcase
    in a hotel someplace
    And a wound that would never heal
    No prima donnas the perfume is on
    and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
    And goodnight to the street-sweepers,
    The night watchmen flame-keepers
    And goodnight Matilda too
    Goodnight Matilda too.
