1	[[Music/CountingCrows This alternative rock band]] have put out a lot of songs that are [[TearJerker incredibly sad]].
2	----
3
4	* "Amy Hit The Atmosphere". The original version overlaps with NightmareFuel, it's so horribly dark and edgy.
5	* "Round Here". It starts with a solemn guitar riff which leads into a story about a man wanted to fall in love with a girl, but this particular girl having severe mental problems, intertwining with themes of monotony in daily life and self-reflection. And oh god...That last verse.
6	-->I, I can't see nothing, nothing round here\
7	You catch me if I'm falling, you catch me if I'm falling\
8	Will you catch me? Cause I'm falling down on you\
9	I said I'm under the gun round here\
10	Oh man, I said I'm under the gun round here\
11	Well I can't see nothing, nothing round here\
12
13	* The song "Another Horsedreamer's Blues", especially the line "So she takes her pills/careful and round/and one day she's gonna throw the whole bottle down". Adam Duritz is so good at channeling feelings of hopelessness into his listeners.
14	* Also, the song "Raining in Baltimore".
15	* The ''Across a Wire'' versions of "Mr. Jones" and "Anna Begins" could, too.
16	** Just take a listen here, to this live rendition of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUr1xZMo8Gc Anna Begins]]".
17	* "Big Yellow Taxi" (originally by TearJerker/JoniMitchell) and "Long December" qualify for many.
18	* "Colorblind" is so tear jerking that it sends chills of sadness down your spine. The melancholy insistence of "I am fine" at the end sounds so hopeless and forced that it actually makes everything ''worse''.
19	* The added lines during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_D2BF8R9Y4 live performances]] of "Miami":
20	-->If you knew everything\
21	If you could see anything\
22	Before it happens\
23	What would you do?\
24	If you knew that the love you threw away\
25	Meant everything to her\
26	If you knew this would ruin her\
27	What would you do?
28	* "Miller's Angels", particularly the coda ("leave me, leave me, leave me, leave me alone"). The final verse qualifies, too, especially for anyone who's ever suffered depression or a dissociative disorder, or has known anyone who has.
29	-->Can't you hear me? 'Cause I'm screaming\
30	Didn't I go outside yesterday?\
31	Don't wake me, please, don't wake me\
32	'Cause I was dreaming\
33	And I might just stay inside\
34	I don't go out much these days\
35	Sometimes, I stay inside all day
