What are your favorite sad songs?

Post Reply New Topic

Music that brings you closest to tears, or brings out the most tears...I love utterly sad and depressing songs.

Mine:

Evanescence - "The Last Song I'm Wasting on You," "Solitude," and "Missing"
Narsilion - "Enmig Del Silenci"
Straylight Run - "Hands in the Sky"
Marilyn Manson - "Coma Black"
Vast - "Flames"
all my faith lost - "argea (the faithful faery)"
Tom McRae - "Ghost of a Shark"
Autumn Tears - "The Beauty in All Things"
Tapping the Vein - "Again" (used to really get to me, not quite as much anymore though)
Sarah Bettens - "All of this Past"
Clint Mansell - "Together We Will Live Forever" (from "The Fountain" soundtrack)
NIN - "Hurt"
The Cure - "Lost"
Within Temptation - "Forgiven"
Dark Sanctuary - "L'Arrogance"

Mine are evanesce- my immortal, christina aguilara- blame it on u or something i forget the name haha, korn- falling away from me, and um i can't think of any else haha

Honestly, I never really cried due to sad music. However, I came close, though. First off, it wasn't songs, but some music that I've either played in band or music that I've heard from movies.

When I first heard "Heroes Lost and Fallen (A Vietnam Memorial)" by David R. Gillingham and "Whatsoever Things..." by Mark Camphouse, I was really moved by the endings. In fact, I almost shed a tear for both of them. So I don't confuse you, these are pieces that I played in my college symphonic band this year.

A couple of sad themes from movies were a bit moving as well, including the ending music for "Edward Scissorhands" and "Princess Mononoke".

As you can see, I'm more of a classical/contemporary listener. I apologize if this was irrelevant.

Chicane - No Ordinary Morning
Elvis Costello - I'll Never Fall in Love Again
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Rammstein - Seemann
The Flying Pickets - Only You
Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them now.

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My cat left me and I'll never know why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will...

I’m so happy ’cause today
I’ve found my friends ...
They’re in my head
I’m so ugly, but that’s okay, ’cause so are you ...
We’ve broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I’m not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
’cause I’ve found god
Yeah (x6)

I’m so lonely but that’s okay, I shaved my head ...
And I’m not sad
And just maybe I’m to blame for all I’ve heard ...
But I’m not sure
I’m so excited, I can’t wait to meet you there ...
But I don’t care
I’m so horny, but that’s okay ...
My will is good
Yeah(x6)

(x2)
I like it - I’m not gonna crack
I miss you - I’m not gonna crack
I love you - I’m not gonna crack
I killed you - I’m not gonna crack

I’m so happy ’cause today
I’ve found my friends ...
They’re in my head
I’m so ugly, but that’s okay, ’cause so are you ...
We’ve broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I’m not scared
Light my candles in a daze ...
’cause I’ve found god
Yeah, yeah, yeah(x2)

I like it - I’m not gonna crack
I miss you - I’m not gonna crack
I love you - I’m not gonna crack
I killed you - I’m not gonna crack

VNV Nation "Further" and "Illusion"
Marilyn Manson "Disassociative" and "Coma White"
Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" as well as NIN's.
Assemblage 23 "Drive" ( i truly wish i could do just that, forever...)
Megadeth "In My Darkest Hour"
The Cranes "Shining Road"

The water is wide. I cannot get oer
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and i

I leaned my back up against an oak
I thought it was a trusty tree
But first it swayed and then it broke
And so my false love did unto me

Oh love is handsome and love is kind
And loves a jewel when it is new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
Morning dew
Morning dew
Like morning dew

Autumn Shade II-the Vines

I love REM - Country Feedback

In no specific order:

Nightwish - "Dead Boy's Poem," "Ghost Love Score," and maybe "Beauty Of The Beast" (last two may or may not be considered "sad songs")
Tristania - "A Sequel Of Decay," and "Evenfall"
After Forever - "Eccentric"
Virgin Black - "...And I Am Suffering"
Kamelot - "Love You To Death"
Epica - "Run For A Fall"

This probably isn't a complete list.
