Hey gargantuan - I know this is an old thread, but yes, I agree - you are a connoisseur of sad music. Elliot Smith and Damien Rice have lots of melancholic songs. And Bright Eyes' "Lua" can induce me to tears, if I'm already in a down mood. Isn't it fascinating how the right tones/rhythms paired up with poignant lyrics can truly alter one's mood? It's like the listener becomes part of this Sadness, which does not belong to a particular person or event, and yet strikes an emotionally deep chord in one's heart.
As a huge Beatles fan, I'd say "Blackbird" and "Yesterday" are blue tunes.
Also, Yann Tiersen's instrumental compositions from the film, "Amelie."
Oh! And Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglove (from the film, "Once") are a duo of sadness.

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven
If you know the backstory of the song, it's extremely sad.

I use some of these songs to get relaxed.
Probably not the saddest still:
Jason Webley - Meet Your Bride.
It's on "The Cost of Living", the way he sings the lyrics is so moving.
