Lost Video Island

I am hunting for really heartbreaking and haunting songs with or without lyrics.

I am doing a video about a man who dies; he leaves behind his 4-5 year old son and wife.

I can't have anything too loud because I am working with a lot of audio and I don't want it to get lost in the song.

I tried asking Ask Yahoo but as always they give me the loudest of loud rock songs.

Something like Angels Flying Too Close To Ground by Willie Nelson; I wanted to use that song but it's too long for the vid.

Thank you.

I always like to recommend these scores, because they are so haunting and sad:
Doomsday
The Rueful Fate Of Donna Noble

and one I discovered recently:
Snow

how about

Manchester Orchestra "I Can Feel A Hot One"?

or...

Verve Pipe - Freshmen

I think that even though the lyrics don't relate exactly to your story they kinda do in a way. Although now I'm listening they maybe aren't as heartbreaking or haunting as you would like. Oh well.
