I love MOTL but I find it uplifting rather than sad. For me the emotional aspect of that song comes from the shared experience of all singing something together rather than from thinking about people who've passed away. Having said that I don't associate that particular song with anyone close to me who's died. On the other hand I can never hear You Can't Always Get What You Want by the Stones without getting emotional about my Dad's passing as that's what we played at his funeral.

That guitar riff just before the chorus is so damned cool that I'm already charged with adrenalin before the refrain kicks in.  And then there's the contrast between Ian and Sandy's voices in the verses.  Such a fine record.
