The Final Cut by Pink Floyd, from the album of the same name.

You genuinely have to be ready to listen to this one, as it's so powerful - a man contemplating suicide.

Listened to on headphones magnifies the impact too, as the song is laden with hidden whispers that you can only hear through headphones - " do it, go on do it " being one of the whispers.

It's a masterpiece of writing, but leaves a terrible hollow feeling after listening to it.

This is my most played Floyd album,powerful from start to finish

I'm with you mate, it's a masterpiece in every sense. However the subject matter is so dark that I understand why people stay away from it.

This, every time. Can't watch it with dry eyes.

this, could be any of about 5 from This Mortal Coil

however, this, personally, was the first song I played after the old girl died and makes me deliriously happy and bitterly sad in equal measures

Good album, like 'the Wall' in many respects more a Water's solo album than a Floyd album

then there's this, saddens me in a guilty way, some will understand, others will head for a bucket or a zinger

What is the saddest ever song? These two songs are sad





But I think this is the saddest song/performance. Maybe. Shivers

Officially this..

A man coming to terms with his mortality. Still find it very hard to watch 20 odd years later.
