I recently discovered "Ghost in this House' sung by Allison Krauss. It's quite a old country song written by a guy call Hugh Prestwood. It's such a brilliant song, the lyrics are perfect.

This song happened to me, Dad had no time for me and I developed an attitude and we never had a relationship.
It also keeps me in check with my relationship with my kids...

Seriously,
"Last Shift" by Richard Thompson (which you've all heard on the radio a gazillion times). It's about the closure of a coal mine (Grimethorpe, it seems to me) and the loss of dignity and purpose that comes with being a miner out of a job and the pain that a community feels when it's financial heart is ripped out. Bleak. Devastating.

changed my song to this. Really from slipknot this is a heart wrenching song.

For me it's Fake plastic Trees by Radiohead. ... The acoustic version, though.

To me, Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, especially when you consider how the song fits into his life, and once you see the video.

i think my vote goes to Cat Stevens music.
probably Father and Son as the most. a moving expression of probably one of the more prominent motifs of human existence.
i think the words are stronger than they're portrayed in the song.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son- away away away, I know I have to
make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father- stay stay stay, why must you go and
make this decision alone?)

The living years - Paul Carrack's vocals are quite expressive as well
