Biko by Peter Gabriel, it points at many years of treating people so cruel and without any justice (Dutch invention 'Apartheid', a black page in humanity). Peter Gabriel succeeded to blend that sadness with hope in his composition Biko but still I feel very sad when I hear that song because it reminds me of the awful and fatal way the South-African police treated Biko Cry Angry ...

I think it's a great metaphor!

Joni Mitchell - "Amelia"; thats
awesome song from Hejira album (btw, masterpiece of art-rock genre,IMO), sad but not pathetic; great lyrics.
