Saddest Progression you can think of?

I just came up with this one tonight, and man it's a bit of a tear jerker without any lyrics. Jeez.

It doesn't have to be original, by the way.

Gm - Gm/F# - Eo7 - A7

Yeah...that is pretty sad. Not that I was ever much of a fan.

Anyway, I'll stay away from thread derailing.

That m6 is important, it is one of the saddest chord types I know.

i - v sounds really sad to me. An example can be found on the verses of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion" (Am - Em).
