Devastating songs (feddit.uk)

I'm looking for suggestions for songs which have a story and something unexpected or devastating happens in the story. I'm thinking along the lines of George Jones 'He stopped loving her today', Jamie Lawson 'Wasn't expecting that', Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue 'Where the wild roses grow', Stan 'Eminem', Plan B 'Charmaine'. (All bangers, by the way).

The genre doesn't matter, as long as there's a suitable twist in the story, dark or otherwise.

Edit: I have downloaded all the suggestions. Ta.

You'll never know by immortal technique

I read your comment then listened to all 7 mins 50 seconds. Perfectly fits the remit and a cracking tune. It's getting downloaded and going on the list.

Glad you enjoyed it. Immortal technique is a great story teller. If you haven't listened to him before, you should also check out "dance with the devil"

Mannnn. I saw this song in a comment last week and just read the lyrics. That still didn’t prepare me for the climax
