That is a good topic – the ones that come to mind are:

Western Sky – American Music Club
Where Am I? – Mike Johnson
Thumb (Acoustic) – J Mascis
Favourite T – Lemonheads
Larry – Buffalo Tom

I’m not sure whether Larry is strictly a sad song but what the heck.

I guess virtually the whole of Berlin by Lou Reed could count as well…

I agree with Lou Reed’s BERLIN, and I also liked the distortioned version of the last track of that album (named Berlin itself), which appeared in Wim Wender’s FAR AWAY SO CLOSE.

Sometimes all I really want to feel is love
Sometimes I’m angry that I feel so angry
Sometimes my feelings get in the way
Of what I really feel I needed to say
