1* "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is a sad song in itself. The video makes it even more effective. At the very end, Creator/LivTyler is reaching out to touch Steven Tyler (her father) through the TV monitors, before the band's performance goes to static. Considering this is from [[Film/Armageddon1998 the movie]], she looks heartbroken... and considering that Liv didn't even know Steven was her father until she was nine...
2* "Janie's Got a Gun" and "Uncle Salty" are big time {{Tear Jerker}}s when you [[AbusiveParents pay attention to the lyrics]].
3* "Hole in My Soul" also deserves a mention. The music video sums a lot showing nerdy guy getting heartbroken thanks to [[AlphaBitch spoiled popular girls]] and abusive [[JerkJock jocks]].
4* When played in the right context, "Dream On" can be one.
5* "Boogie Man". It's not even a sad song either; it's a soft, dreamy and downright nostalgic sounding instrumental that makes you long for better days.
