saddest anime songs

[Splitter 2.0]

I've got another one - "Through the Years and Far Away" from Voices of a Distant Star.

The piano intro is just overwhelming for that one. Great tearjerker of a song. Even moreso if you hear it while watching the anime.

Wolf's Rain has a lot...I listen to the first CD quite a bit. Now I need to get that second CD. Yoko Kanno does such great music.

Saikano-koisuru kimochi
Saikano-Sayonara (acoustic version) SADDEST SONG EVER. whenever i hear this song I get a knot in my chest because of the images associated with it, Not pleasant to listen to.
Cowboy Bebop- Space Lion
ElfenLied-Lilium

[Myoti]

"Dakishimete", character single of Chopper from One Piece.
The name means "Please, Hold Me." Even without looking at the English lyrics (though I do know them), it's enough to make you really want to hold the little guy. ;_;

i thought the naruto "sadness and sorrow" song was pretty sad.

[Tsukuyomi]

Chijou no Seiza. it's also sad sounding.

[Arnobius]

Koko Made Oide from Niea_7

Call Me, Call Me from Bebop was rather Melancholy as well

[ChronoShinobi]

I'm suprised that no one mentioned "Sound Life" / "Rem's song" from Trigun. It was pretty sad, especially after THAT happened... (I dunno how to use spoiler tags...)
