Joey Ramone singing "Wonderful World" as he knew he was dying of cancer. (OK, he didn't play it as sad.) Warren Zevon's entire album about knowing he was dying of cancer. (Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile ....) |

| Dixie Chicks' "Travelin' Soldier." Tears every single time. And then my daughter asked about it. |

Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce.
He wrote it when his wife was pregnant with his son. He died three years later in a plane crash. |

+1 Gordon Lightfoot also did an amazing version of Farewell to Nova Scotia which is a pretty melancholy song also |

| Thank you for sharing that -- I love Gordon Lightfoot and this song is great! I'm from Michigan so I've always had a soft spot for the Edmund Fitzgerald. |
