Songs that make you feel sad?

[Guest JerryDrake]

I Miss You by DMX tops them in my opinion.

[Guest Eric the Eagle]

Savatages "Somewhere in Time/Believe" (yes, I know they are two separate songs, but they go under the same CD heading and they fit so well together). Especially the last two verses before the guitar solo;

 

"I never wanted to know, never wanted to see

I wasted my time till time wasted me

Never wanted to go, only wanted to stay

'Cause the person I am are the parts that I play

 

So I plot and I plan, hope and I scheme

To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams

And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray

As they charge me for years I can no longer pay"

[Guest Dace59]

The Last Kiss - AFI

Gone Away - Offspring

Gunning Down Romance - Savage Garden

[Guest swan]

Anything on Metallica Load and reload. It's sad to see what they were and what they have become.

"Small black flowers that grow in the sky", "Life becoming a landslide" and "4 st. 7 lbs" by the Manics

 

"Ruby Soho" and "Radio" by Rancid

 

"Mayonaise" Smashing Pumpkins

 

alotta old Radiohead and Placebo stuff is good for making me sad.

[Guest Kinetic]

Alan Jackson's Sept. 11th song is devestating.  Imagine...there are illiterate countryfolk out there who can't tell the difference between Iraq and Iran.  And their albums go to #1.  I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

[Guest hobu0]

Load and ReLoad aren't that bad!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHH!! Anyhow, Black by Pearl Jam makes me pretty sad.

[Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye]

One last goodye" by Anathema is THE single saddest song ever written...

 

another one would be "Blackwater Park"by Opeth...

[Guest Kinetic]

The acoustic version of Radiohead's "Motion Picture Soundtrack" gets to me sometimes.  The album version is great, too.  I don't get sad to music often.

[Guest goodhelmet]

Queen -Save Me

Dion -Abraham, Martin and John

Led Zeppelin  -Ten Years Gone

[Guest areacode212]

Thompson Twins - "If You Were Here"

 

It's not inherently a sad song (after all, it plays during the happy ending of Sixteen Candles), but for me it is.

[Guest Flyboy]

Eminem - Stan

Guns N' Roses - November Rain (my fav. song ever, plus I listened to after my ex-girlfriend broke up with me)

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry (Original AND Alternate)

Guns N' Roses - Estranged

Metalliac - Nothing Else Matter

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

Michael Jackson - Don't Walk Away

Michael Jackson - She's Out Of My Life

Janet Jackson - Again

Spice Girls - Goodbye

Patti LaBelle - On My Own

Billy Vera & The Beaters - What Did You Think (it plays when Michael J. Fox's girlfriend breaks up with him on Family Ties, I think)

 

Yeah... that's a lot.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Marilyn Manson - "Coma White"

? - "It Can't Rain All The Time" (It's from The Crow, and I always forget who sings it)

[Guest areacode212]

That was Jane Siberry, and I liked it too. Nice to see someone acknowledge "It Can't Rain All The Time", since when most people refer to that album, it's usually about the Helmet/STP/Rollins-type songs

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I try not to think of Henry Rollins and his overrated bullshit wannabe hardcore...

 

Ah, Black Flag, how I miss ye...

[Guest pinkslut]

Id have to go with lunchboxanthem on manics songs

its great to have another manics fan into wrestling!!

 

Where is my mind?-pixies

coma black- manson

thirty three- pumpkins

big me- foo fighters (dunno why)

Do you remember the first time-pulp

this is yesterday- manics

exit music- radiohead- actually that is the saddest song ever

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

Miss You Love by Silverchair

She's got a new disguise by Matthew Good Band

Stolen Car by Beth Orton

 

Finally.....

 

Me and a gun by Tori Amos. I mothafuckin defy somebody to find a song creepier and more depressing then this.

 

" It was me....and a gun....and a man on my back...."

 

*Shudders after typing that line*

[Guest Addy]

double post...

[Guest Addy]

Bloodhound Gang - Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny

 

An engaging love song that has me bawling like a baby everytime I listen to it.

 

On a more serious note...

 

Ozzy Osbourne - Dreamer

 

That song is the story of my life.

[Guest Kinetic]

A new entry: The Replacements' "Here Comes a Regular."  It'd make me even sadder if I wasn't so ecstatic about how fucking awesome Tim is.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

well i wonder by the smiths and country feedback by rem stir me more than anything else.

[Guest muzanisa]

I've posted it elsewhere but Goodbye by Emmylou Harris has me tearing up every time I hear it.

[Guest Ignatz Belzner]

The Good Life - Weezer (alright, so I'm an emo-loving pussy, sue me)

Trouble (and/or) Yellow - Coldplay (soooo depressing...)

and lastly

One - Metallica (Jesus...a song about a quadraplegic landmine victim with total sense loss...I can't stand listening to the song, it's so sad.  I always skip over it to Trapped Under Ice, another depressing song, but in a scary way.)

hey Ignatz, read Johnny Got his gun by Dalton Trumbo. the 'One' song is based on the book but doesn't express the pain or surreal existence that is found in the book. It's also a critical commentary on capitalism, religion, obscure meanings like freedom, and of course war.

Goddamnit, I was going to say that.  Well, I will anyway.  "Johnny Got His Gun" will change the way you think about life.  It's the best war novel ever.

[Guest Anorak]

I wasn't quite sure what songs to list because many songs can be 'sad' in funny ways, some songs are flat out depressing while others have more of a bittersweet sadness. There's also songs which don't necessarily fit either of these discriptions but make you personally come over all meloncholic for any number of reasons.

 

Uncle Tupelo's version of Moonshiner is a real lump in the throat classic, totally withdrawn and resignated.

 

Grandaddy: Jed the Humanoid.

Lucinda Williams: Blue

Replacements: Unsatisfied/Answering Machine/Sixteen Blue (all on the same album!)

Golden Smog: Please tell my brother

Bonnie Prince Billy: I see a darkness/Another day full of dread/Death to everyone (all on the same uplifting album!).

[Guest Narcoleptic Jumper]

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night?

Third Eye Blind - Motorcycle Drive-By

Third Eye Blind - The Background

"Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails makes me sad sometimes.  Good for a rainy day, too.

Ummm...Blink? Online Songs? A song with a na-na-na-na breakdown? Sad? I can only assume what kind of personal experience lies behind that...
