Saddest Songs You've Ever Heard

Recommended Posts

Fountains of Wayne - Stacy's Mom

If that's sad, I'd hate to hear downright depressing.

Consarn it! Did I spell "Stacy" wrong again?!? I always forget if it's -y, -ey, or -ie, because I see them all. I actually lost a friend over this.

"Drops of Jupiter" by Train (It was played at a funeral of one of my friends. :( )

I nearly forgot this one which was played at a friend of mine's funeral, thanks for reminding me...

You know what song makes me happy and sad at the same time? "Redemption Song" as performed by Joe Strummer and Johnny Cash. Two of my favourites, now dead. They sound both weary and hopeful at the same time. Great, great track.

 

"The District sleeps alone tonight" by the Postal Service sorta gets me too.

 

You know what song I HATE, and it makes me sad? Good Riddance by Green Day. I hated it when it came out, and I hate it even more that it's been played at just about every friend's funeral/sad TV special ever.

If a see a tribute to Rodney Dangerfield with Good Riddance playing while he's in slow motion, it will be the first time a song's made me cry, and it'll be with anger.

"Don't Panic" by Coldplay.

 

I first heard this song in the music department of a Borders bookstore in the spring of 2001, and really dug it, and bought the album.

 

I must have played it a hundred times in the days and weeks following 9/11.

"Thrasher", Neil Young. That one line, "the motel of lost companions waits with heated pool and bar" cuts deep. And because I feel compelled to throw in a joke answer, "Weep Day" by They Might Be Giants. They guy's already Urine Man, and all he gets is weep day while Mr. Tambo enjoys samba time. It's just not fair! (cries openly)

I bet there's going to be people reading that who won't know quite what to make of it.

Sad is Jessica Simpson's latest cover - Robbie Williams' "Angels". Once again she's managed to suck the soul out of a song by making it all about her (see: "Take My Breath Away"). I heard this in an H&M last weekend, and both me and my fiancee were screaming "Turn it off!! Turn it off!!"

 

Not the same type of "sad" as the rest of the songs here, but I needed to vent.

"The Dance" by Garth Brooks since it was played at my brothers funeral and Dolly Parton's "I will always love you".

 

Guns N Roses cover of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" gets to me some, but not a crusher.

 

"Goodbye to Love" by Carpenters should be illegal.

Mother Love by Queen, Very sad song and its chills me to think Freddie Mercury never got to finish it, Brian May has to sing the last verse of the song as Freddie never managed to come back to the studio to finish it.
