I admit to 3 songs for sadness: For Good (Wicked); Purely because I just need to belt out something sad to get it out my system: I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables): Sometimes I find myself thinking about a. unfortunately toxic relationship I was in and how it ended. Ergo, sometimes I have to sing it; Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (Phantom of the Opera): Well. honestly I've always loved this solo from the musical, however I recently lost my dad in an unfortunate car accident and this song has actually help me whenever I got uber-depressed merely thinking about him.

I was in no way prepared for So Big/So Small when I took my son, who was 20 at the time to see Evan Hansen. He was home from college that weekend, and I was still reeling from getting divorced about 8 month before after 26 years of marriage. The song captured how I felt so well, even though he was 17 when his father walked out right after he graduated high school, especially after my son went off to college and the house was empty. I was a wreck during that song, years streaming down my face. My son just held my hand and didnt let go.

kinda surprised that road to hell (reprise) or raise our cups aren't on this list. the absolute pain you can feel during the reprise after orpheus loses eurydice and the solemn feeling from raise our cups knowing that orpheus is essentially alone after losing her just makes my heart ache.

I Don't Care Much from Cabaret and Wicked Little Town get to me. After having heart break from not only past lovers but friends i considered family, it got to a point where I don't care who i have to lose so long as it saves me from the hurt. And Wicked Little Town is such a powerful song to anyone gender queer, myself included

Seventeen from Heathers is a great one, as well as the death scene songs from Hamilton - especially Hamiltons death speech in The World Was Wide Enough.
Also, when I first saw Moulin Rouge, it did cause me to completely lose it when Christian turned the gun on himself and Satine was dying in Your Song (Reprise.

#9 was my high schools spring concert senior song. Madison Comprehensive misses me, I suppose. I miss it, too. If there are any Rams out in Mansfield, Ohios Madison Local School District who see this, let me just say that youll never walk alone.

It's not a big show, but I'd suggest If I Sing from Closer than Ever, where a man sings how he became the artist he is because of his father, gaining in skill while his father wanes. I sang it at my father's celebration of life.

The intro included a snippet of Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q. From a silly and irreverent show, it might actually belong on this list. Even Fantasies Come True from the same show deserves some consideration.

I feel like the most saddest song in les miserables is empty chairs and empty tables the feeling of loosing everyone
On my own is also very sad but empty chairs and empty tables is the most saddest

On My Own from Les Miserables, There's a Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q, and Pretty Funny from Dogfight for me. Meadowlark from a Baker's Wife is also a tearjerker.

For Good holds a special place in my heart because me and my best friend played Glinda and Elphaba during camp and we sang For Good. Everyone cried. It was so emotional.

I love On My Own, Memory, It's Quiet Uptown, and I Dreamed a Dream. Whenever I need a good cry, I just listen to one of those songs. Then, I have a good ugly cry.

I used to sing On My Own while riding alone in the crowded city during New Year's eves. I don't sing that anymore. I'm already used to being alone.

Oh that #1 spot is definitely up there. Such a sad song. As for the male side, Ben Platts Words Fail, gives me a good cry. Emotive singing that gets me.

You Will Be Found and Words Fail from Dear Evan Hansen always sends shivers down my spine. I was bawling my eyes out when I saw the movie in theaters.

I completely get the love for On My Own, but the I Love You Song from Putnam is a no-brainer for #1 instead of an honorable mention.
