I got this idea from Alohexs topic about uplifting songs

I like happy/uplifting songs but there's something about powerful sad songs really appeals to me. To be clear I don't mean emo whiny crap I mean songs with meaning and substance. Like this one-

I purposely linked the video with lyrics so people can see what the message is. I know he sings kinda weird and can be hard to understand.
Anyone who knows someone with a severe addiction problem will understand how real that song is. It's kinda hard for me to listen to because it brings up painful memories in my life but it's kinda cathartic at the same time. It always amazes me how strongly a song can affect me.
So let's see what you guys got. Personally I got plenty of songs to link but maybe you guys have some really good ones I've missed.
