Line 9:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Naruto]]'' has lots of these, including the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|appropriately titled]] 'Sadness and Sorrow' from the original series, and 'Despair', 'Tragic' and 'Loneliness' from [[Naruto Shippuden]].
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' has the theme of Sayaka, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUz74xRAMLw&feature=related ''Decretum''], {{spoiler|which plays during the scenes where her despair overtakes her.}}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG1Xbd1-DOo This] unnamed song from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''.
* ''Queen's Blade'' has one at the end of Episode 7 of the 2nd season, where Tomoe kills Shizuka.
* ''[[Bleach]]'' has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5uS0Um9YzA Will of the Heart].
 
 
== Film - Animated ==
* "Sally's Song" from ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' is noticeably softer and simpler than the rest of the movie's soundtrack. In the song, Sally talks about how she's afraid Jack will never notice how she feels about him.
 
 
== Film - Live Action ==
* Used in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', when <s>[[It Was His Sled|Darth Vader]]</s> [[It Was His Sled|Anakin Skywalker dies in front of his son Luke]].
* The movie of ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)|Harry Potter]] and the SorcererPhilosopher's Stone]]'' uses this when {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Voldemort]] makes one last attack on Harry, trying to kill him}}.
* This was used quite ham-handedly in ''[[The Girl in Gold Boots]]'', where Critter would break into overly sad ballads every time it was necessary to tug the audience's heartstrings. This is parodied in one of the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' host segments, where Mike [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IsBlP9YVms strums a guitar] in the same style.
* Most of the songs in the Heisei ''[[Godzilla]]'' films are upbeat or sound like they're best suited for action/suspense scenes. And, then you have the [[Tear Jerker|far more somber]] "Requiem" which plays at the end of ''[[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]]'' while {{spoiler|Godzilla dies}}.

== Live -Action TV ==
* In a show that wasn't afraid to break out the electric guitar for fight scenes, it's worth noting that [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]] and Angel's love theme pretty much ''always'' sounds like this. {{spoiler|Especially when Buffy has to send Angel to hell in order to save Earth.}}
* ''[[The Incredible Hulk (TV series)|The Incredible Hulk]]'''s "The Lonely Man" closing theme - piano solo.
