The saddest song ever

[martryn]

What is it? Give me a list of them. I know what I would pick, but I'm sure someone else will have a few to put mine to shame.

[Shikamaru-sama]

Aint Afraid to Die by Dir en Grey

This song is unfairly emotional :sad

[cloin]

I'm fairly certain that Deadhouse by Katatonia is the saddest song ever.

[explicitkarma]

I'll have to think about this during the day, but right now i'll say "Nobody Home" by Pink Floyd.

[Narutofan1988]

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Thats the saddest song ever

[Maffy the Love Doctor]

yeah, that's a pretty sad song. for me it's "lately" by allure (cuz i could really relate to the song :crying...well used to lol).

[LightningElemental]

I'll Be There by The Escape Club (Dollars and Sex) (My local radio station did this as a tribute song with clips from 9/11 mixed into the track. It had me crying each time it came on the air, and I ended up buying the original album a few years ago.)
Too Slow To Ride by Nina Gordon (Tonight And The Rest of My Life)
Suspended In Time by Olivia Newton-John (Xanadu soundtrack)
Don't Walk Away by ELO (Xanadu soundtrack)
Hello by Evanescence (Fallen)
My Immortal by Evanescence (Fallen)
My Last Breath by Evanescence (Fallen)
You Can Still Be Free by Savage Garden (Affirmation)

Hi, my name is LE, and I'm suitably depressed. >.>


Edit: more songs! :omg
I'm Not Supposed To Love You Anymore by Bryan White (Greatest Hits)
Still Life by Bryan White (Between Now And Forever)
That's Another Song by Bryan White (Between Now And Forever)
Travelin' Soldier by the Dixie Chicks (Home)
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again by Sarah Brightman or Emmy Rossum (Phantom of the Opera)

[n8dogg]

Country music - believe it or not - can be much more tragic and emotional than "emo" music. It's probably because the sadder tunes hit closer to home for more people than a song about committing suicide.

Who here doesn't have a close relative or friend who can't be around when you need them? Who here hasn't lost a loved one to a car wreck, military service, or even terrorist activities?

Dudes, country music is much more suited for a tear jerker. ESPECIALLY the music videos.

And yes, My Heart will Go On is one of the top saddest songs.

[rokkudaime]

^tears in heaven and aeris' theme all the way

[n8dogg]

Woah, totally forgot Tears In Heaven.

I dunno, Aries' theme isn't really sad to me. Probably because someone spoiled the game for me, and I knew that she would kick the bucket.

In addition, I've never heard it orchestrated. Those midi files in ff7 do not help to dramatize anything.

[Ephemeral]

I think I'm like the only one that laughed when she died? =o I'm such a bad person =(

[Twizted]

I think I'm like the only one that laughed when she died? =o I'm such a bad person =(


Yes you are. You should be ashamed of yourself...:spank

[louuster]

I was gonna say Tears in Heaven, but it has already been mentionned by everybody..

[Toiletnojutsu]

Well he did make it in the memory if his son that died when he fell out a window :sad

[louuster]

Yeah, and it gets even sadder when you know that and listen to the lyrics :crying.

I kind of want to say that Devin's Thing Beyond Things is up there, but I'm not sure if that's how it was meant to be taken or not. It sure feels gloomy as hell.

[martryn]

Johnny Cash - Hurt

That was my first thought. I was listening to it last night and its so damn good!

Mad World Michael Andres and Gary Jules Ft.

Yeah, alot better than the original in terms of saddness. But no one best be dissing Tears for Fears.

A lot of those songs are sad and suck. I want a sad song that's pretty good.

Sun Kil Moon - Duk Koo Kim

Hmm, it certainly has that feel to it

[DyersEve]

Damn, am I the only person who thinks NIN's hurt is better than Cash's cover?

AFI- Morningstar
Pantera- Hollow
Metallica- One

Um... all I can think of right now!

[louuster]

Hey Moe by the way is Duk Koo Kim still your favorite song?

[yo586]

Everlast - So Long

Had to go with this cause it puts me damn near tears every time I hear it. Something about Everlast's voice and guitar puts a great sad affect on any song. And the lyrics to this song are sad enough as is.

[mow]

Hey Moe by the way is Duk Koo Kim still your favorite song?

Yep :amuse. though Do Make Say Think - The Landlord Is Dead is a very close second.

[2788]

eric clapton - tears in heaven
He wrote it when his son died. I've wachted the live version when he cry while sing the song. The lyric is superbly emotional

[Asleep]

Asleep by the Smiths. But that's kind of for personal reasons. Although it's still pretty depressing.
And Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over

[zinnia]

Unbreak My Heart - Tony Braxton

[brummie]

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart

[Dionysus]

I don't know who here would like Romantic music. I'll add a symphony, just to be different.

Piotr Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony - Pathetique (Proper translation is "suffering")

The final movement is a descent into despair and, ultimately, death.

Popular thoughts have the man found out as a homosexual, in a liason with a nobleman's son. Apparently there was an "honour" tribunal which found him guilty and sentenced Tchaikovsky to death by suicide. (They would have publicly tried him otherwise and killed him otherwise.) He had already tried suicide before, once by standing in the middle of a cold Russian river in winter.

He was partway finished the symphony when this happened. The end of a symphony tells of a man's sad farewell to life. He died nine days after conducting its premiere.

[Stalker]

Im gonna go with poke mon season 3 theme song

Explostions in the Sky - Greet Death

Romantic = Favorite Era Of Music
Impressionism = 2nd Favorite Era Of Music

I love Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony. That was a great post as well. :amuse

Frederic Francois Chopin- Funeral March Sonata 3rd Movement.

A piece of grief and tragedy written especially for funerals.

[The Mist]

Don't listen to much "sad" music, but from what I've listened to so far, I'd say Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps.
Explostions in the Sky - Greet Death
Just downloaded this, and yep its sadder than maps

No Ordinary Love - Alaine

Also, Tchaikovski's 6th uses an old Russian funeral dirge as a common theme. Or so I'm told.

[mow]

Im currently spinning Bjork - Vespertine And it's extremely and powerfully saddenign and emotional.

I wake up
And the day feels
Broken
I tilt my head
I'm trying to get an angle
'Cause the evening
I've always longed for
It could still happen

How do I master
The perfect day
Six glasses of water
Seven phonecalls

If you leave it alone
It might just happen
Anyway

It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you

If you wake up
And the day feels
Ah broken
Just lean into the crack
(Just lean into the crack)
And it will tremble
Ever so nicely
Notice
How it sparkles
Down there

I can decide
What I give
But it's not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
About to happen
But what they are

It's not up to you
Well it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh it never really was
It's not up to you
Oh, me, share
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
Oh, it never really was
It's not up to you
Well, it never really was
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you

There's too much
Clinging
To peak
There's too much
Pressure


and Pedalling through
The dark currents
I find
An accurate copy
A blueprint
Of the pleasure
In me

Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved

He offers
A handshake
Crooked
Five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched

On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

Morsecoding signals (signals)
They pulsate (wake me up) and wake me up
(pulsate) from my hibernating

On the surface simplicity
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
Pagan poetry

Swirling black lilies totally ripe
....

I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
She loves him, she loves him

This time
She loves him, she loves him
I'm gonna keep it to myself
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
This time
I'm gonna keep me all to myself
She loves him, she loves him
And he makes me want to hand myself over
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
And he makes me want to hand myself over are maginficent

as always, I have the record uploaded is anyone is interested :amuse.

Nara, Ill get you all EITS records tomorrow, my friend has the cds ^.^"

The Ataris?

[Voynich]

Day after Tomorrow by Saybia hits a sore spot with me D= Every song can turn into a sad song if you connect it with saddening events.

[CrazyMoronX]

The Ataris?

Well you know everything don't you? As soon as you said that I remembered. Of course.

In comparison of musical knowledge, I guess I would be a musical vegetable in a coma for 15 years.

[NocturnalMe]

Carrying Cathy by Ben Folds is the saddest song I have ever heard:

Her window was hung like a painting
She worried it might come to life
She stared for hours
So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I
Didn't see that she was
Crying

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy

There were times when I'd find myself saying that:
"Friends, you don't understand"
And she's different when it's just me and her, and I
Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she
Sank into the dark
I was over my head

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy

We gave you everything
You could have been anything
We gave you everything
You could have done anything

But to imagine a fall
With no one at all to catch you
There'd always been someone

Then one night she climbed into the picture frame
Out in the frozen air
And out of sight

Woke up sad from this dream I've been having
The last couple nights or so
With her father and brothers we're all at the funeral
Carrying a box through the rain
Then somebody says that it's always been this way

Always someone's carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy

[cloin]

You people are all horribly wrong. I reiterate that Katatonia's Deadhouse is the saddest song ever written. Joe will back me up here.

[NaRa]

I'm pretty suprised that i never said this song but i think Radiohead-Fake Plastic trees should be pretty high up there.Dave Matthews cover of Wild Horses by the rolling stones is really sad.

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn’t drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn’t drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let’s do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them some day

[felippe]

You people are all horribly wrong. I reiterate that Katatonia's Deadhouse is the saddest song ever written. Joe will back me up here.


You're right man, this song is really sad... wait.. all katatonia's songs are sad.

"Friends, you don't understand"
And she's different when it's just me and her, and I
Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she
Sank into the dark
I was over my head

There was always someone carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy

We gave you everything
You could have been anything
We gave you everything
You could have done anything

But to imagine a fall
With no one at all to catch you
There'd always been someone

Then one night she climbed into the picture frame
Out in the frozen air
And out of sight

Woke up sad from this dream I've been having
The last couple nights or so
With her father and brothers we're all at the funeral
Carrying a box through the rain
Then somebody says that it's always been this way

Always someone's carrying
There was always someone carrying
Always someone's carrying Cathy

"Late" is a really melancholic tune. I really, really appreciate Ben's music.

In any case, The Flaming Lips tune "Do You Realize?," "It's Summertime," and "Suddenly Everything Has Changed" always make me feel much more mortal after each listen.

Deathprod - Dead People's things

[pnoypridz]

Immortal technique- You never know

[Professor Pants]

You people are all horribly wrong. I reiterate that Katatonia's Deadhouse is the saddest song ever written. Joe will back me up here.

Katatonia do have some depressing songs, and I agree Deadhouse is one. I feel that To Bid You Farewell, by Opeth is very sad as well.

[NeophyteNihilist]

The Lighthouse Tale by Nickle Creek is quite sad. I'd suggest you check it out.

The music video for "Wake me up when September Ends" made me laugh.

[sasuke18]

Green day - Wake me up when september ends.
the video clip is very sad..
yea it was also deppressing wen they played it at the concert

[Fall Out Boy]

I find Blue And Yellow by The Used very sad.
The lyrics aren't especially sad, but the way the lead vocalist sings it makes me feel sad.

So I'll put the NIN one down instead

Also, Something I Can Never Have by NIN

Hello-Evanescence (I don't really like them, but that song is so beautifully sad)

And Alone I Break by Korn- Simply cause of the memories connected with it rather than the song itself.

[TGC]

Mad World by Gary Jules
its the theme song for Donnie Darko, its one sad ass song...

[Leen]

There really is no saddest song. Sad song , yes.
Why do I say that?
Well, any song will become sad if u are sad, while the saddest song can be happy if u are happy.

So, this is a sad song I recommend
Unbreak My Heart-Toni Braxton

If anyone want to listen to this song, feel free to PM me. Just give me your email and I will send it to u, free.

[Tehol Beddict]

Eh, I'll just pick one of many, and that no one has mentioned.

Iron & Wine: The Trapeze Swinger

Please, remember me
Happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when
We counted every black car passing
Your house beneath the hill
And up until
Someone caught us in the kitchen
With maps, a mountain range,
A piggy bank
A vision too removed to mention
But

Please, remember me
Fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
And then
They went on to say
That the pearly gates
Had some eloquent graffiti
Like 'We'll meet again'
And 'Fuck the man'
And 'Tell my mother not to worry'
And angels with their gray
Handshakes
Were always done in such a hurry
And

Please, remember me
At Halloween
Making fools of all the neighbors
Our faces painted white
By midnight
We'd forgotten one another
And when the morning came
I was ashamed
Only now it seems so silly
That season left the world
And then returned
And now you're lit up by the city
So

Please, remember me
Mistakenly
In the window of the tallest tower call
Then pass us by
But much too high
To see the empty road at happy hour
Leave and resonate
Just like the gates
Around the holy kingdom
With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'
And 'Someone Save Temptation'
And

Please, remember me
As in the dream
We had as rug-burned babies
Among the fallen trees
And fast asleep
Aside the lions and the ladies
That called you what you like
And even might
Give a gift for your behavior
A fleeting chance to see
A trapeze
Swing as high as any savior
But

Please, remember me
My misery
And how it lost me all I wanted
Those dogs that love the rain
And chasing trains
The colored birds above there running
In circles round the well
And where it spells
On the wall behind St. Peter's
So bright with cinder gray
And spray paint
'Who the hell can see forever?'
And

Please, remember me
Seldomly
In the car behind the carnival
My hand between your knees
You turn from me
And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
But never meant to last'
The clown that passed
Saw me just come up with anger
When it filled with circus dogs
The parking lot
Had an element of danger
So

Please, remember me
Finally
And all my uphill clawing
My dear
But if i make
The pearly gates
Do my best to make a drawing
Of G-d and Lucifer
A boy and girl
An angel kissin on a sinner
A monkey and a man
A marching band
All around the frightened trapeze swingers

[wasteofpaint]

Sad? Let's see...

Bright Eyes - Amy in the White Coat
I was shivering for 3 days after hearing it and reading the lyrics (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Amy-In-The-White-Coat-lyrics-Bright-Eyes/34C6874BA5F7D32048256D6E002DAEFC).
[try it. even though it's probably something new that will be hard to "digest": here (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=81B2B5EC1908BB8F) ]

Almost every Bright Eyes' song is heart breaking,
but we like to vary so:
It Just Is by Rilo Kiley ["cause everybody dies.."]



edit: fixed.

[Nami-swan]

"Sara Beth" by Rascall Flats is sooo sad!!!

Also, "Hello" by Evanesence

[trunks2222]

"Last Song"- Gackt

[Locard]

something i can never have by Nine inch nails

That song really makes me feel depressed. I love that song.

[martryn]

A lot of these songs have sad lyrics, but are really quite upbeat sounding. I was referring to songs that made you feel sad listening to them, despite what the lyrics are. Sad and desperate. Songs that provoke you into action.

[Tonza]

The Radio Dept. - It's Personal

No lyrics and not even that slow. But still gives a sad wibe.

[RatsJump]

'Invisible' by D-Side

The band isn't well known; they originally came from Ireland but found that they have a bigger fanbase in Japan, so they relocated there.

This song came out when I was living in England and has stayed with me ever sense.

It's been beautifully composed and come's off as being desperate and sad.
In my opinion anyway. :amuse

[Jokestr]

I havent read the entire thread, but I hope someone has said Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique. You Never Know by IT is really sad too.

Kenji by Fort Minor is kind of a sad tune about WWII.

This is War and God's Army by Smily Empty Soul

Daddy by Korn. Definitely, Jonathan Davis even cries in the end :(

[Leanne]

Since we are on NF, it would be Sadness and Sorrow. :)

[Comatoes]

Wow, this I posted in this thread on my old username. :O

Hmm, My vote now would be to Room of Angel from the Silent Hill 4 soundtrack.

And probably still Hello by Evanesence. Bleh.

[Wuuu]

Bright Eyes - No Lies, Just Love

[Kabuto_Yakushi]

John Denver's "Annie's Song" is really touching, and pretty to listen to.

Also, the Christmas song,
"The Christmas Shoes" is really sad. It made me cry the first time I heard it.

[Purgatory]

I hope no one flames me for this, but...WMUWSE (Wake Me Up When September Ends), which is about BJ's dad dying as a kid, and it just gave me a who new look on him. Also, another really sad song (and I hope no one posted it before) is Fade To Black, which is a song about suicide. Ironically..I read this one metal thing on YouTube and this one guy said his sister killed herself after listening to the song. I think it was because of:

Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give

or something along those lines.

[Brother Wayne Kramer]

Elliott Smith - Needle in the Hay.
Even though the lyrics are full of despair, the song also goes hand in hand with suicide in my mind. Let us not forget the Royal Tenenbaums.

[Purgatory]

Fuck, I forgot to add "Turn The Page" by whatshisname...

[Nega]

Dark T - Day To End

[mystictrunks]

Before the great Collapse- Jedi Mind Tricks

Song really gets to me because I've gone through a period of time th esong deals with.

[Locard]

uber sad songs by trash metal bands

- Hollow by Pantera
- Fade to black by metallica
- My darkest hours by Megadeth (really angsty, dedicated to Cliff Burton's memory)
- The ballad by Testament

[Motoko]

Ahem.. bumping old thread. heh
Lock this and direct me to the newer one if it exist.

5KAIJmxob-o

[martryn]

Damn, my old thread got bumped.

EDIT: I can hardly see why that song was sad. The music video wasn't sad, and it was pretty upbeat metal. Didn't stir any powerful feelings in me.

I'm all out of love - Air supply

Damn, my old thread got bumped.

I ended up on your profile while stalking your created threads.

On-topic: I think the song is sad mostly because it's beautiful and the music video reminds me or something specific.

[KentaLjung]

These songs are extremely sad, but beautiful, I dare anyone to disagree who've listened to the songs and read the lyrics.

Opeth - isolation years
Freak kitchen - Breathe
Kamelot - Dont you cry
Månegarm - Hemkomst
Amon amarth - Embrace of the endless ocean

[MagicPony]

9 crimes - Damien rice. super sadness up in that song. =']

[Toad Hermit]

There's just too many but these stand out at the moment.
Ulver - Chapter 5 ( Bergtatt album )
Mourning Beloveth - It almost looked human
Mourning Beloveth - Narcissistic Funeral
Virgin Black - Velvet Tongue
Pantheist - Don't Mourn
Xasthur - Beauty is only razor deep / prison of mirrors (I forbade my self from ever listening to these 2 tracks on a bad day)
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell
Sunn O))) - Báthory Erzsébet
Portishead - Roads
Burzum - Gebrechlichkeit I
Shape of Despair - Fallen
The majority of My Dying Bride songs. seriously end of discussion. The Dreadful Hours, Two Winters Only, Catherine Blake, Sear Me(all of them), From Darkest Skies.. the list just keeps on going.

All of these songs disturbed me with a sense of despair and some made me cry. I assure you these tracks have a "soul". Very passionate masterpieces.

[Snowfire]

"Goodbye" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjkSk55ek-w&feature=related) by Night Ranger

The song is about the bass player's brother's death and how he never had the chance to say goodbye.

OMG i really love this song (and all of Yann Tiersin). This one certainly is one of the most emotional songs ever, still i dont see it in the exact meaning of sad song.
As to what song is the sadest to me...i'll be thinking about it and soon give an answer.

Sayonara

Anybody who says 'Here Without You' by 3 Doors Down deserves to be shot.

For me, most Joy Division songs are depressing as hell. Plus any songs by Nickelback because they butcher my ears with Chad Kroegar's awful voice accompanied by shitty post-grunge music.
