Feeling sorry for yourself songs

[tiny e.a]

Which songs bring a little lump to you throat? Probably the same ones that you put on when you're feeling low, just to make yourself feel even more low (strange beings that we are!)

I probably have an endless list of them but at the moment I can only think of rather embarassing ones, namely 'Feed the birds' from Mary Poppins and most of the 2 hours worth of music from Les Miserables

So, what's yours? (I can't see youtube links or anthing so if your posting clips tell me what it is!)

None of these are really "feeling sorry for myself" songs, but they do produce a lump in the throat.

Classical - Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from Verdi's opera Nabucco. Non-classical - Boulder To Birmingham by Emmylou Harris, and as mentioned on the question a couple above this one, Slipping Through My Fingers by Abba.

bensmum - good call on Willie's/Elvis's versions of Always On My Mind, and you've also just reminded me why I want to kill the Pet Shop Boys. ;-)
