The saddest song

[Subversive Pessimist]

Black Hawk Down - Leave No Man Behind
The Last Samurai - Taken
Evanescene - My immortal

[Invader Zim]

Placebo - Sleeping with Ghosts
Manic Street Preacher - The everlasting
Rod stewart - HandBags and Gladrags
Tool - Sober
Thin Lizzy - Running back
The Police - Syncronisity II
the Cranberries - Zombie

[hawarameen]

everlasting is excellent.

'Yeah yeah yeah whatever' by usher is pretty crap

[che's long lost daughter]

The saddest song for me is "Luv" by Travis

[Take the Power back]

Good Riddance - Green Day
Glycerine - Bush
One Headlight - The Wallflowers

[mentalbunny]

AFI make my eyes water almost instantly, as does anything else really emo, which is why I avoid it at all costs. Also the theme from Requiem for a Dream really hits me, mostly because of when I saw that film and the memories I have of that day.

[hawarameen]

i TOTALLY misunderstood the question behind this tread.

my saddest song dont let me down by the beatles.

[BOZG]

'Yeah' by Usher, the saddest song ever, well done Hawar.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

In My Life by the Beatles

[FatFreeMilk]

'Yeah' by Usher, the saddest song ever, well done Hawar.

Shut up kid. It may be just a little overplayed but it's still a good song. Ha ha I'm really feelin that confessions song.

I try not to liten to sad songs cause they just make me sad. :)

[DaCuBaN]

I try not to liten to sad songs cause they just make me sad

I try not to listen to happy songs as they place me in a mindset so far detached from reality it's unbearable ;)

R.E.M's 'Everybody Hurts' is pretty damn depressing (if somewhat annoying)
Silver Mt Zion's 'Never Made'
Radiohead's 'Spinning Plates'
Leonard Cohen.

[FatFreeMilk]

I try not to listen to happy songs as they place me in a mindset so far detached from reality it's unbearable

Orale pues.

That REM song is a great sing-along-song man. I guess it makes a big diff of what a person considers "sad" or "happy".

[nezvanova]

hmm tough call... that requiem for a dream song is a good choice! i'm also partial to sister morhpine by the stones; don't let me down, beatles; and..erm..i'll have to think about this one.

[Guest1]

Heroin by Velvet Underground.

Especially when I'm on painkillers:

I don’t know just where I’m going
But I’m gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
’cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell ya, things aren’t quite the same
When I’m rushin' on my run
And I feel just like jesus’ son
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know

I have made a big decision
I’m gonna try to nullify my life
’cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper’s neck
When I’m closing in on death
And you can’t help, not you guys
Or all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don’t know
And I guess that I just don’t know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I’d sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor’s suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know
Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life
Because a mainer to my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I’m better off than dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don’t care anymore
About all the jim-jim’s in this town
And all the politicians makin’ crazy sounds
And everybody puttin’ everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

’cause when the smack begins to flow
Then I really don’t care anymore
Ah, when the heroin is in my blood
Heh, And that blood is in my head
Then thank God that I’m as good as dead
And thank your God that I’m not aware
And thank God that I just don’t care
And I guess I just don’t know
Oh, And I guess I just don’t know

[Individual]

The saddest songs:


the Freshmen - The Verve Pipe

Hurt - Nine Inch Nails

Pure Morning - Placebo

You don't know how it feels - Tom Petty


In that order.

[mentalbunny]

Hurt by Johnny Cash is sadder than Hurt by NIN, which has a different quality, it's an expression of something quite strange, and and although it's about depression and stuff, it's not "sad".

My sweet prince by placebo is sad, I remember listening to it when I was 14 and crying because it made me think of my boyfriend commiting suicide (he never did, I just imagined it because of that song)

The whole of Dirt by Alice in Chains is sad because it's so prophetic. To hear this junkie talking about his addiction like that is, well, mind-blowing. I don't personally know any junkies but I imagine not many are so articulate. It's a real education, that's for sure, and one of my all time fave albums.

Why pure morning, Burger Queen is far more depressing, as is Sleeping with ghosts.

[Funky Monk]

I think that "MY Little Empire" is sadder than Everlasting by the manics.


Sad song by Hell is For Heroes is quite sad (suprised?)


Halway to the bottom by aqualung is also sad



Good call on Zombie by the way.

My little empires funny, it shows the absolute irony of dictatorships.

"My royalty it does not exist
It is extinct for the eye to see
My ideology it is dead and gone
Almost forgotten for the eye to see"

[nezvanova]

haha I no lnger find you don't know how it feels, a sad song. It is a sad song, the lyrics and etc, its very sad, but ever since my drummer took y mic and started sinignt htat song with the CD, I can't find it sad lol. He ever had actions, like the "some grow stonr some grow cold" I think it was, i'm only sure of the "grow cold" part, but he was like pretending to shiver...and his singing was really bad. His mom came downstairs and said: "you odn't know how it sounds!" with the melody. it was funny, good times.

[EneME]

This is hard b/c i LOVE depressing songs (I'm latin, I love the drama lol)...so many to choose from..

-Sade - Pearls & Like A Tattoo
-The Smiths- I Know It's Over & Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me
-Jewel - Foolish Games
-Bjork - Play Dead (my anthem for awhile)
-Victor Manuelle - Pensamiento y Palabra
-Marc Anthony - No Me Conoces

[Individual]

To start off: Each of those songs hold individual "sad" meaning to me.

Johnny Cash' version is quite sad, however NIN's version has me from long before Johnny Cash came out with his version.

I know on the cover "Pure morning" isn't your typical "sad" song. However it holds meaning to myself, and brings back some horrible times.

As for "Burger Queens", the song is sad however does not compare personally. While most of the cd is quite downing, Pure Morning really gets me. Other personal sad songs on the Without You I'm Nothing cd are "The Crawl" "My Sweet Prince" and "Summer's Gone".

The album all around is quite "sad", and really gets to me resulting from some time ago.

As for "Sleeping with Ghosts", I only own Without You I'm Noting and haven't heard "Sleeping with Ghosts".

Again, Tom Petty's "You don't know how it feels" is another song with personal meaning. My original list of songs are songs that hit very hard with me.

I know what you mean...if I were to put up the songs that mean something to me personally...they wouldn't make sense to someone else...songs are so powerful sometimes, they can completely flip my mood at times

[Purple]

tori amos - spark.........


the music video for that song is pretty good...

[BOZG]

I think Reznor's version is far sadder. For me, Cash changing the line to "...this crown of thorns" changed the entire meaning behind the song and it lost its power.

[mentalbunny]

And of course Ani Difranco can write the most amazing sad songs, but they all seem to have a kind of angry edge, it's really powerful sadness.

[Kurai Tsuki]

The Road is Long by Bob Dilyn

[BOZG]

I have to agree with Mentalbunny, AIC's entire Dirt album is sad but 'Down In A Hole" is my saddest song from the album.

Aimee Mann - Today's The Day
Sting/Alanis Morissette - King Of Pain
Sting - Message In A Bottle
Placebo - The Crawl
Placebo - My Sweet Prince
Dave Matthews Band - Typical Situation
Evanescene - My Immortal
Johnny Mandel - Suicide Is Painless
Marilyn Manson - Coma White
Metallica - Fade To Black
Metallica - Sanitarium
Metallica - Harvester Of Sorrow
NIN - Fragile
NIN - Hurt
NIN - Somewhat Damaged
Nirvana - You Know You're Right
Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea
Alanis Morissette - That I Would Be Good
Radiohead - Street Spirit
Radiohead - The Bends
Staind - Outside
Staind - Layne
Staind - Epiphany
Tears For Fears/Gary Jules - Mad World (Gary Jules' version is much better)
AIC - Rain When I Die
Smashing Pumpkins - For Martha
System Of A Down - Roulette


Just a small selection from a huge list. I don't have any sad songs in the traditional songs but the above are songs that I take comfort in.

[canikickit]

Black is the Colour of My True Love's Hair

[dopediana]

jim dean of indiana---phil ochs (http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~trent/ochs/lyrics/jim-dean-of-indiana.html): it actually took me two years to figure out that this was about james dean, the "east of eden" james dean. it really makes you look at him differently as a person.

te recuerdo amanda---victor jara (http://www.g-sistah.com/showsong.php?id=19105): i think this was written about victor jara's mother who died when he was only 15. in the song she is going to visit her husband who is a laborer. she loved him immensely even though he was drunk and abusive. for those of you who don't know, victor jara was a victim of the pinochet coup. he played and sang to 5,000 frightened, doomed men till his hands were maimed, he was beaten, and then slain. he also inspired a song (http://www.arlo.net/lyrics/victor-jara.shtml) about his life.

i dreamed i saw joe hill last night (http://struggle.ws/songs/usa/joehilldream.html) or the other version by billy bragg i dreamed i saw phil ochs last night (http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~trent/ochs/lyrics/i-dreamed-i-saw-phil-ochs.html): these songs really hit you if you've read the story behind the person. personal songs. those hurt the most.

le petit cheval---george brassens: i couldn't find the lyrics anywhere but i listened to this song all the time when i was in france. it's about a little white horse who lived on a plain with really bad weather the whole time. he's never ever known nice times but he didn't feel too bad about it or complain. he just lived his simple humble life till one day during a terrible storm he was struck down by lightning. i think it goes something like "mais un jour dans le mauvais temps / il est mort par an eclair blanc / il est mort sans voir le beau temps / tous derriere e tous devant." tragic.

little girl blue---originally by nina simone but i like janis joplin's version as well (http://www.janisjoplin.net/lyrics/blue.html): i tend to think of janis joplin as little girl blue partially because she's my favorite blues mama but primarily because of her teenage years. when she did it though, she made the ending different than nina simone. janis ended with "i know just how you feel, i swear i do" where nina put "why won't somebody please send a tender blue boy to cheer up little girl blue?". maybe this is just because this is a live track only released on a rerelease of pearl and i haven't heard any other versions or maybe janis was just improvising like she usually did, but i find that a bit surprising. her ending just makes the song taper off while nina simone's brings it to a definite close.

and the ultimate sad song of my childhood is the golden vanity. i don't think i really understood it till i was 10 or 11 and ever since then i've always felt like crying. but i've always loved it.

There was a ship that sailed all on the lowland sea
And the name of the ship was the Golden Vanity
And we feared she would be taken by the Spanish enemy
As she sailed upon the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sailed upon the lowland sea.

Then up spoke our cabinboy and boldly out spoke he
And he said to our captain "What will you give to me
If I swim along the side of the Spanish enemy
And I sink her in the lowland sea?"

"Oh I will give you silver and I will give you gold
And my own fair daughter your bonny bride shall be
If you'll swim along the side of the Spanish enemy
And you'll sink her in the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sink her in the lowland sea.

Then the boy he made him ready and overboard sprang he
And he swam to the side of the Spanish enemy
With his brace and auger in her side he bored holes three
And sank he her in the lowland sea.

Then quickly he swam back to the cheering of the crew
But the captain would not heed him, his promise he did rue
And he scorned his poor entreatings when loudly he did sue
And left him in the lowland,lowland, lowland
Left him in the lowland sea.

Then the boy he turned round and he swam to the port side
And up to his messmates full bitterly he cried
"O messmates, draw me up, for I'm drifting with the tide
And I'm sinking in the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sinking in the lowland sea."

Then his messmates drew him up, but on the deck he died
And they stitched him in a hammock which was so fair and white
And they low'red him overboard, and he drifted with the tide
And he sank into the lowland, lowland, lowland
Sank into the lowland sea.

[Funky Monk]

Some more good calls there

definately agree with Roulette and the Radionhead ones and would like to suggest Nobodies (accoustic version) by Marilyn Manson

What if God was one of us is also quite good, think it was by Joan Osbourne or someone like that.

[Eastside Revolt]

"Heroine" was a good choice.

Stop That Train - Peter Tosh
Settle for nothing - RATM
Hurt
Redemtion Song - Bob Marley
Poolshark - Brad Nowell
Eye of the Storm - Dead Prez
Assasination - Dead Prez
Kickin' Stones - Big Sugar

But "6 Feet Deep" by the Ghetto Boyz is the saddest of all :(

[canikickit]

The Wailers - This Train
The Wailers - Where is my Mother
The Wailers - High Tide or Low Tide
Happy Days Theme Tune

[hawarameen]

The Wailers - Redemption Song

[demonio comunista]

i dont normally listen to country but i was flippin through the radio stations on the way to school the other day and i heard this awesome song. It is called Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisly ft. Allison Krauss
if you aren't gonna listen to it then at least read the lyrics... its sad.

[pandora]

Billie Holiday.
The Radiohead theme song to Romeo,
Anne Dudley and Jaz Coleman's Songs from the Victorious City, "Force and Fire" about the the end of the world by fire and how Middle Eastern people will become like a Volcano
also "A Survivor's Tale"
I believe her name is Sheila Chandra, "India Not Burn" about women being burned on the funeral pyre is exceptional.
"Last Night I Dreamed Somebody Loved Me," by the Smiths.
Didn't realize someone else voted this too, used to finish my radio hour with it always sad
"I will always love you," by the Cure and
Depeche Mode's "Blasphous Rumors" are also up there.
Violent Femmes song about the country man who throws his daughter down a well is fairely gruesome.
Diamanda Galas, "Vena Cava"
Throwing Muses, "Call Me" is twisted and beautifully deep, she now also investigates music
from the Southern Mountains about murdering your lover.

The saddest music would tie between Iranian which uses an instrument like an early violin for a high pitched blood curdling sadness in music much like jazz but uses a poetry of sentimentality, and Scottish bag pipes played at a military event or funeral, as they usually denote sacrifice for honor.
, also Irish love songs, always depressing, and of course, Billie Holiday, anything, and Rolling Stones, "Paint it Black"

[dopediana]

"louis collins" performed by jerry garcia and david grisman is also really intense.

[DaCuBaN]

The Radiohead theme song to Romeo
Which one?
The aptly titled "Exit Music - For a Film" or "Talk Show Host"

Both are equally good in my eyes, I'm merely curious...

[Palmares]

I'm not sure about this, but maybe:

Johnette Napolitano - Suicide Note

I'd agree on a Placebo song, but I'm not entirely sure which one.

[GrYnEt]

um, well Nirvana with Dumb, Evanescence with Hello, Beatles with my guitar

[Purple]

tori amos - white horses

[Hate Is Art]

Hurt by Reznor way surpasses Cash's version, The Downward Spiral is also a fucking depressing song:

So much blood for such a tiny little hole,
A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in an instant

Something like that anyway, I can't remember off the top of head. When you think about "Everybody Hurts" by REM it isn't all that sad, it's about holding on and not bowing down to suicide.

Well my choices would have to be

JJ72 - October Swimmer
Pink Floyd - Time
Powderfinger - These Days
At The Drive-In - Non Zero Possibility

[Mano Dayak]

For me, Blowin' in the Wind by Dylan (it's one of the saddest songs I know)

[Sammi87]

its not a typical sad song in the fact that its fast but strummerville by stiff little fingers (i think) as the words are moving. R.I.P Joe Strummer.

[Danton]

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit
Anything by Nat king Cole... :( Or Nick Drake...

[Purple]

malsain - 2-cement forest

[mentalbunny]

actually I'd probably put something by Alkaline trio on mine, because they're lyrics are so dark, and for some reason I find them really moving, but I can't decide which song would be the saddest.

[GrYnEt]

every eva cassidy song.
reeeeeeally depressing music. most of it.

-autumn leaves
-i know you by heart
-since you went away
etc.

[guerrillaradio]

The Smiths - How Soon is Now

"There's this club, you've got to go
You could meet someone who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own and you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry and you want to die"

In fact, most Smiths songs.

Some good calls. Anything by NIN, although I can't listen to them anymore cos they bring back memories and feelings of the days that almost killed me. Ditto Alice in Chains.

But...Staind?? AFI?? Fuck man...you guys pick out the most mediocre and unfeeling music to cry to.

The Streets - It's Too Late
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
The Legacy - A Modern Tale
From Autumn to Ashes - Short Stories With Tragic Endings (heh..fuck you all)
The Early November - Sunday Drive

I don't really listen to anymore sad music. It's not healthy for me.

[BOZG]

Each to their own punk. How many times must have the lyrics vs music debate with you?

[Individual]

But...Staind?? AFI?? Fuck man...you guys pick out the most mediocre and unfeeling music to cry to.

Stephen picked a good song by Staind actually. Epiphany is definately one of my "sad" songs.

Beside, to each his own. I'm deeply sorry that you are the Mr. Right when it comes to my taste in music. Maybe I should really bow down to you from now on, or would that be "wannabe emo" also? :huh:


Or maybe once, I probably won. What side was I on??

Or maybe everytime someone likes a group that you consider "fake".

I really don't see how anyone can be in the right when it comes to others taste in music. But hey, whatever makes you feel better I guess.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I love you, AQ :wub: *

[Raisa]

"How Come How Long" by steevie wonder and baby face, is still the saddest song i have ever heard.

There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we could save somebody's life

And quit this fucking talk about "emo" until you have a clue. And trust, you don't.

We've had it at least twice, the second time you told me you didn't want to get into it again. It was around the time I first joined. You were on the 'music is more important than lyrics" side and you didn't win, you just gave up and took the "agree to disagree" route. =D

[BOZG]

You do have a bit of a 'holier than thou' attitude when it comes to music, entirely understandable considering your obsession with it, but I don't really care cause I'm right. =D

[mentalbunny]

you get used to GR and music, you learn it's better just to back down than face the deluge ;) well I'm a midget when it comes to music anyway.

but good one, whoever said silverchair, I forgot that one.

Well I definitely wouldn't say that today.

Why do they have to be relative?? Both are pretty crucial if you ask me...

[BOZG]

Both are crucial but I find that if the lyrics are good, I can listen to music which might not really be my taste, unless it was techno.

[Hate Is Art]

I hate techno, I like chillout though, it's great to study to and even better for relaxing a headache and falling asleep!

[mentalbunny]

sometimes the lyrics are really important, sometimes it's the music. It doesn't have to be the same importance for every single bloody piece, does it now? It really depends on the basic concept of the song or whatever it is, how they are expressing something, what they are expressing, all that. The music and the lyrics are just tools for this aim of expression. At least that's what i reckon, but since I know so little about music that may be a total pile of bollocks.

[Purple]

You could try Mysticum, its industrial black metal(first in its genre)... You can download their album for free without problems at this link:

Mysticum (http://www.mysticum.com/)

[BOZG]

Ah how I miss the days of being able to download albums in one entire file.

grave digger, dave matthew's band

wild horses, the rolling stones


where did you sleep last night? -nirvana version

[Danton]

"Life ain't so easy when your a ghetto child" - Detroit Spinners

[The Feral Underclass]

"I'm a little teapot" by someone

[The Feral Underclass]

On slightly more serious Note...

"Dianas song" (Neon Ballroom) by silverchair

"Street spirit" (The bends) by Radiohead
"Exit Music" (Ok Computer) by Radiohead

And track 8 from that Portishead album that starts "oooh eee, does. anybody. see"

Also "Swollowed" (Razerblade suitcase) and "Floats" (Golden State) by Bush

[The Feral Underclass]

And also that piano solo from an Aphex Twin album 'Drugz' is very poignant (track 11 or something, dont know which CD)...it gets me everytime!!!

Thats "Road" from the "Dummy" album...my favorite on that album and pretty depressing also, is "Wandering Star"

[Vinny Rafarino]

Mozart- "Requiem" [funeral mass]

[Kaan]

that dead prez song thats about one of the MC's having a crackhead brother, cant remember the name, its off the 3rd album, that always gets me a little teary eyed. B.I.G.'s suicidal thoughts is pretty haunting too. But my all time saddest song has to go to girl from the north country by bob dylan. I dont really know why cause the lyrics aren't all that sad, it just has a weird vibe to it.

[Eastside Revolt]

Thought of a couple more

Strait to Hell - The Clash
Gun Powder - Wyclef (I wouldn't be suprised if it's actually someone else's)
Marigold - Nirvana
Rape Me - Nirvana
Changes - Blind Melon

[guerrillaradio]

Converge - Jane Doe is beyond sadness. Converge convey an emotion that nothing and noone else can.

[caliban]

"All Dead", from the album "News of the world" by Queen.

[The Children of the Revolution]

How has nobody mentioned "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton?!? Always makes the eyes water, that one...

Also:

"Days" - the Kinks
"Little wing" - Jimi Hendrix (personal choice!)
"You know you're right" - Nirvana
