7. The Cure Pictures of You
http://youtu.be/UmFFTkjs-O0 We all know that The Cure have written some of the greatest pop songs ever, I mean, that's a given to a ear-walk down ear-canal of the Greatest Hits album. However, you saw that colour combination, that hair, that make up, and playing solo LSD tennis ball in the rain; an army of goths, students, people who like to reminisce about when they were sad, and those who still like to indulge it from time to time they all have Mr Smith plastered upon their walls. The album Disintegration is kind of the distillation of their beautiful maelstrom of melancholy kind of inventing post-rock in the process. Anyway, Pictures of You, a song not shy about its lovelorn nostalgia as Robert Smith stares so long at these pictures of 'you' that he almost believe they're real. I mean, it would trawling through Facebook now, but when that permanently captured memory is all you have of them, it's all you'll cling onto, because it's all you have to hold onto. 6. Connie Francis I Will Wait For You
http://youtu.be/TZnfoqxPSDs Now, I've discussed the saddest song ever, but we will forever have a serious contender for the crown. There have been many versions of this song recorded of this, but any fan of Futurama, and anyone with a heart will always hold Connie Francis's most dear. Sure, this isn't conventional love, or break up then neither have many of the other songs been but, the pure pains of the heart conveyed in this song; in part helped by a little stray dog who would've waited a thousand summers for his owner to come back to him, were he not of course cryogenically frozen. Regardless, dog, cartoon, cryogenically frozen owner, or not; the idea of willing to wait 'forever more' for your love to come back, however long it takes, and with Connie Francis's vocal performance I believe every single word.
