Probably "Caroline, No"
Honorable mention to Tom Waits, who also knows how to write a tearjerker when he wants to.

Frank Black's got some pretty incredible ones. How about practically the entire Show Me Your Tears album, Especially "New House of the Pope." The heartache and sadness and unbearable pain just ooze out of that one.
Mark Mulcahy also deserves a mention with songs such as "Micon the Icon," among others.

I almost mentioned "Headache." Good thinking. |

"I Am the Cosmos," the ultimate manic-depression anthem of all-time. After that, Johnny Thunders' "So Alone," which has some of my favorite lyrics ever:
"I'll just tell you what you wanna hear
I won't break your girlish fear
I tried to get close, I couldn't get near
If I tell you too much, baby, I get smeared"
Plus it's got that great spoken section.

I'm also drawn to Beck's cover of "Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime," produced and played on by the inimitable Jon Brion. The harpsicord on the fade-out hits me where I live every time. Fucking gorgeous, and achy as all get-out. (But not achy-breaky. Let's edge away from that ... edge away ... )

"Always on My Mind" - Elvis
"Hot Burrito #1" - Flying Burrito Brothers
And for a different kind of heartache, Warren Zevon, "Keep Me in Your Heart":
"If I leave you, it doesn't mean I love you any less, keep me in your heart for a while." Gets me every time.

Oh merda! "Kentucky Rain"!!
And all that beautiful, gut bearing soul stuff:
Otis - "I've Been Loving You Too Long"
Chi-Lites had some great ones, "Oh Girl," "Have You Seen Her."
Gladys Knight - Niether One Of Us

Nice choice on Suzanne, Lenoard Choen is the fodaing man,
The Streets/ A Grand Dont Come For Free very very moving record
Miss Misery/ Elliot Smith (Either OR cant forget about that album)
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space/ Spiritulized. There is a special place in my soul for #8 Broken Heart that is a fodaing masterpiece all unto its own
Medowland/ The Wrens
and for a different sort of heartache In The Areoplane Over The Sea
I Am A Bird Now/ Anthony and the Johnsons

Good call on the Chi-Lites, but how about some more Philly soul. Like Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, "The Love I Lost" and especially "If You Don't Know Me By Now."
And some Kentucky soul, the Everly Brothers- "Crying in the Rain."

The Smiths lyric from 'How Soon Is Now?' - "There's a club if you'd like to go/You could meet someone who really loves you/So you go on your own/And you leave on your own/And you go home and you cry/And you want to die." - was one of those lyrics that said something so obvious and real to many people's lives and yet that had never been expressed quite so explicitly in song before. The Smiths were quite good at that sort of thing!
