Default saddest song ever?

Some songs that are sad have some hope, even if it's just in the music;
Paint It Black, Sound of Silence, etc. have some potential for renewal, but
New Dawn Fades is a dead end, unadulterated despair. I might be prejudiced
by the fact that the song is the culmination of an A-Side that is an obvious
descent into suicide. The album, Unknown Pleasures, is the darkest ever
released.

I like how Kubrick used Paint as the end song for Full Metal Jacket.

This is a pretty good summary
