[Stratochu]

"Last Kiss" (J. Frank Wilson & The Cavaliers, cover in the 80s I can't recall)
"When She Loved Me" by Randy Newman/Sarah McLachlan
"Tell Laura I Loved Her" by Ray Peterson
"Sentimental Lady" by Bob Welch
"Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll
"What Might Have Been" by Little Texas (the video even more so)
"The Car" by Jeff Carson (including the video, which would have been better with the beat-up red '66 Mustang at the beginning of the video pulling out of the garage instead of the blue Shelby clone convertible and a funeral procession at the end)
"Even The Man In The Moon Is Crying" by Mark Collie
"Pretty Little Adrianna" by Vince Gill (the original abuse memorial song, preceding "Concrete Angel" and "Alyssa Lies" by nearly ten years, all three were based on real murder-by-abuse cases, altho PLA was about a domestic violence case, not child abuse)

Suck on this, you guys. This is the saddest song I've ever heard in my life thus far.
