In an ongoing search for the saddest music in the world (inspired by the title of the Guy Maddin film) here is a small mix of my notable favourites. Eight tracks including music by Abel Korzeniowski, Clint Mansell and, as I have just added, Scala & Kolacny Brothers.

Nice mix, but I'm sorry, no collection of sad music is complete without Gorecki's Symphony no. 3, particularly the second movement. Blows the Lost soundtrack out of the water. Beck's "Nobody's Fault but My Own" and Kate Nash's Live at Abbey Road version of "Nicest Thing" are also some of my fav sad songs. Seriously, though, if you haven't heard Gorecki and truly are searching for sad songs, look it up, the lyrics are taken from writing on a Gestapo prison cell.
Beautiful compilation.
