This may or may not be useful in general, but I find that the Garry Jules cover of Mad World evokes explicitly asymbolic sadness. (I also vaguely remember having heard songs that evoke non-asymbolic sadness in a similar way. I don't remember any specific ones offhand, though.)

The best song ever for evoking sadness in me was Chopin's Nocturne #14 in F Sharp Minor. It was most effective when I was not paying attention to anything, e.g., resting in bed.

For me, it's either of the sad songs from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
