What is the saddest/most beautiful song you've heard?

[Escaep]

Godspeed -- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. A very moving song about war.

Its January 1970, do you remember me
You put me on a boat across the sea, in the name of victory
But much to my surprised when I arrived
There was no welcoming committee
Instead there was a man for me to kill, and now I see all this too real


Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life he fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade he whispered softly


Godspeed this letter, away from here
I've sealed it with my tears, and stomped it with my fists
And godspeed this letter, away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better days and so are you


I'm in his pocket that I saw the picture of his children and his family
And I began to realize this person I despised, in actuality
Was not much different from myself
we probably could have taught each other many things
And now I know its much too late although I couldn't hesitate
I checked his gun, and his chamber was empty

Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
and as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life he fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade he whispered softly

Godspeed this letter, away from here
I've sealed it with my tears, and stomped it with my fists
And godspeed this letter, away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better days and so are you

o-ho
We know not what we've done
And o-ho
We know not what we've done

Godspeed this letter, away from here
I've sealed it with my tears, and stomped it with my fists
And godspeed this letter, away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you

....Your kidding me right? Adagio for Strings was the main theme for the movie Platoon (was an epic movie). It was composed by Samuel Barber.

This is the vocal version.

Why would one work using it 'claim' it over another work? Ride of the Valkyries has been sampled numerous times, yet it doesn't 'belong' to Apocalypse Now.

It's in every movie.
