Someone died (or is otherwise gone away), we're very sad, and we're singing about it with a lamenting, slow ballad. Often a Tear Jerker. Sister Trope to Break-Up Song, Death Song, and In Memoriam. Super-Trope to Celebrity Elegy. May become a Revenge Ballad. Really tragic losses could induce a BSoD Song. Compare Songs of Solace, when characters use music to console themselves In-Universe. Often an example of Album Closure. See also Really Dead Montage. |

"Chavaleh" from Fiddler on the Roof is an interesting case, as Tevye has to declare his daughter Chava dead to him after she marries outside the Jewish faith, but this song makes it clear it's not easy for him. He loves his daughter, yet he believes he has no choice but to disown her. | |

folklore (2020) and its companion album evermore are written in isolation due to quarantine from the COVID-19 Pandemic, naturally have a couple of songs about this topic: "epiphany" from folklore is a song about the pandemic and the weight it cost on medical workers. "marjorie" from evermore is about mourning a lost loved one and how Taylor will never fully know how wonderful that love one was. It was named after Taylor's grandmother, who died when she was fourteen. |

RENT has two straight examples and a subversion: In context, "Seasons of Love" is about how to remember someone after they're gone. The Dark Reprise of "I'll Cover You" is also a straight example. "Your Eyes", after which Mimi revives thanks to The Power of Rock and a literal guardian Angel, is a subversion. |

The album Innuendo. Even though Freddie Mercury was alive at the time of recording, it was his last album, made knowing he was dying of AIDS. Several songs refer to his dying, especially the song "The Show Must Go On" where his voice is replaced by a record stuck in the groove. | |

Parodied in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat with "One More Angel in Heaven". Joseph's brothers know he isn't really dead, but they put on a show of grief for Dad's benefit. Played straight with "Close Every Door", where Joseph has hit rock bottom in prison. |

Notre-Dame de Paris: Quasimodo's "Danse mon Esmeralda" (doubles as BSoD Song), right after Esmeralda's death. He's witnessed the death of the woman he loves and killed his adoptive father. He's resolved to die holding Esmeralda's dead body, because "dying for you is not dying". Yeah, he's pretty broken. | |

RWBY has these in droves. The two most noted examples are "Cold", written in the aftermath of creator Monty Oum's death in between Volumes 2 and 3, and "Forever Fall", which is played over the scene in which Jaune visits Pyrrha's memorial statue. In addition, there's the infamous Red Like Roses Part II which deals with Ruby's grief over the loss of her mother, Summer Rose. |

Several of the songs off the Rush album Vapor Trails could be interpreted this way, such as "Ghost Rider" and "The Stars Look Down". Given that the album was written after the death of Peart's daughter and wife and Peart's lengthy recovery from both, it's difficult to not see every song on the album as a grief song in some light. "Afterimage" on Grace Under Pressure is about the death of a mutual friend of the band. Also "Nobody's Hero" from Counterparts, about a gay friend of Neil Peart's who died of AIDS and a girl whose family Peart knew. The latter subject is speculated to be one of Paul Bernardo's victims. |

Iolanthe features an inversion in the climactic scene. Iolanthe veils herself so the Lord Chancellor won't recognize her because she'll be executed if he does, and pleads for him to give his consent for her son Strephon to marry a certain ward of the court. She sings the ballad, "If, In the Bygone Years" in an appeal to his memories of his (supposedly) late wife, who is in fact Iolanthe herself. | |

Ed Sheeran The first half of "Afire Love" Is about his grandfather's battle with Alzheimer's, and the second half is about his death and funeral. "Small Bump" ends as this, with the reveal that the baby the song was about was miscarried. It's not dedicated to any family in particular, but it still counts in the father's POV. "Supermarket Flowers" is about his maternal grandmother's death from the POV of his mother. Specifically, the days following the funeral when it's time to clean up items like the titular flowers and try to get back to normal life. |

"Save Our Last Goodbye" from their album Immortalized is dedicated to Bob Sanders, a close friend of the band, who died of pancreatic cancer. It includes a voicemail from him at the beginning, talking about chemo and hoping for good news. "Already Gone" is about losing too many loved ones, wishing you had more time, and wondering if you will get to see them in the afterlife. |

The "Totenklage" (Lamentation) in Elisabeth combines this trope with Dark Reprise. In fact, on some cast recordings, it's known as "Rudolf, wo bist du?" (Rudolf, Where Are You?), calling back to the earlier song "Mama, wo bist du?" After Rudolf's death via Murder-Suicide, Sisi goes down to the imperial crypt, calls for him, mourns him, and regrets her emotional neglect of her only son. | |

Frozen: The first two-thirds of the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?", are a downplayed version, a grief song about an unexplained separation. The tune is fairly fun and upbeat, although the lyrics are sad.

Frozen: Frozen: The first two-thirds of the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?", are a downplayed version, a grief song about an unexplained separation. The tune is fairly fun and upbeat, although the lyrics are sad. The last verse, however, is about Anna mourning the death of her parents and desperately trying to reach out to her sister, her only remaining family, one last time. In Frozen II, Anna sings the absolutely heartbreaking "The Next Right Thing" after Olaf dies in her arms and Elsa freezes solid. |

In Skippy Dies, the song "3 Wishes" by the story's fictional teen pop star Bethani fulfills multiple roles. Early on, when only a few lines are revealed, it seems like a Silly Love Song that serves as a refrain for Skippy's hopeless love for Lori, but after his death all the lyrics are revealed, showing it's actually a sad song about not having your beloved beside you. When Skippy's friends perform the song at the book's Concert Climax, they express their grief and desire to have him return to them. | |

Brantley Gilbert's "Saving Amy," about a girl he knew in high school, is an interesting twist in the grief song. It deals with a woman recovering from the death of her fiancée, who died (presumably in an accident) on the night he proposed. However, it's told from the deceased boyfriend's point of view, begging God that while it's too late to save him, it's that "there's still hope for saving Amy" from living her life grief-stricken. It then goes on to chronicle the woman's slow climb out of depression, and at the end, he thanks God for "saving Amy" when he is reunited with her years later. It's a heartbreakingly powerful song. | |

Gary Numan wrote "A Prayer for the Unborn" when his wife suffered a miscarriage after finally becoming pregnant via IVF treatment. In his early performances you can hear his voice crack with emotion when he sings it live. No word on whether the sonogram typically projected behind him during this song is the real thing. | |

"Friend of a Friend" and "Word Forward" by Foo Fighters. The former is the only song by the band confirmed to be about Kurt Cobain, and the latter is about Dave Grohl's childhood friend. "Friend" was written and recorded in 1992 whilst Cobain was still alive, it becomes more poignant in the updated version. The band's But here we are album deals primarily with grief and acceptance following the loss of a loved one. It is dedicated to the band's longtime drummer and backing vocalist, Taylor Hawkins, as well as Virginia Grohl, Dave's mother, both of whom passed away in 2022. |

The same composer for RWBY had years before, in The Strangerhood, done a Lyrical Dissonance approach on this with "Bye Nikki Bye", which, while motivated by the death of a character, is actually a catchy and energetic rocker. | |

In honour of Freddie Mercury, the surviving members of Queen wrote, performed and sang "No One But You (Only the Good Die Young)" for the Greatest Hits III album. The album Innuendo. Even though Freddie Mercury was alive at the time of recording, it was his last album, made knowing he was dying of AIDS. Several songs refer to his dying, especially the song "The Show Must Go On" where his voice is replaced by a record stuck in the groove. |

"American Pie" from the same-named album; the refrain mentions "the day the music died"; Word of God from McLean is that the "February made me shiver/with every paper I'd deliver" line is about the plane crash when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed. The entire song is also a eulogy for the musical scene of the '50s and '60s and the cultures surrounding it, and is grieving for more reasons than just Buddy Holly's death. It provides a focal point, though. | |

The Unearth song "Last Wish", off their 2011 album Darkness In The Light, is set from the perspective of a person whose soul has been separated from their body, but remains stuck in limbo as long as said body remains on life support. The eponymous wish is for their family to come to terms with their imminent passing, as they themselves have, and allow them to move on to the afterlife. The band members have stated that the song is a tribute to a number of people they've known over the years who ended up in vegetative states for one reason or another, and acknowledged the most obvious of them - founding bassist Chris "Rover" Rybicki, who was struck by a drunk driver while riding his moped in late August 2010, and was taken off life support three-and-a-half weeks later.note Rover left the band in 2002, after being banned for life from Canada the year before due to a string of incidents with the border authorities | |
