Sad Songs

[Mahalo]

List some quality songs of woe here... please exclude angsty emo moaning.

[ThePope#15]

No It Isn't by Plus 44 is pretty damn depressing

[cushlinkes]

-The Post War Dream
-The Fletcher Memorial Home
-The Final Cut
-When The Tigers Broke Free
-On The Turning Away

Those are probably the most depressing Pink Floyd songs. They are very good songs though, but sometimes they bring me down.

[Casino Queen]

Porcupine Tree - Collapse The Light Into Earth.

If you haven't heard this, you need to now. Such a beautifal song.

Along with:
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Helpless
Alice in Chains - Nutshell
Joy Division - The Eternal

[Mount_Happy]

Eric Clapton - "Tears In Heaven"
Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Life Without You"
Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Little Wing" (maybe not depressing, but its so damn heart-felt its amazing)
AC/DC - "Ride On"


those strike a chord in me the most, im sure there are many others that i cant think of right now.

[souk]

Radio head !!!

[ypsidan04]

Evanescence - Missing / So Close / Solitude / Even In Death / Understanding (Amy Lee is very good at this. Except for two or three songs, basically all of their music is in a negative mood, it's just some more than others.)

[chronotub]

Throbbing Gristle - Weeping
Icon Of Coil - Sleep:less
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

[Stupified]

Anything by Katatonia.

[TheGrimKreeper]

I don't really feel like listing specific songs right now, but a few artists would be:

Beck (at least his albums Sea Change and Mutations, anyways)
Radiohead
Some Modest Mouse, not all (albums like The Lonesome Crowded West and The Moon and Antarctica have some very despondant songs on them)
Pink Floyd, of course
Pedro The Lion
Explosions In The Sky can be, depending on your take on the song
A Perfect Circle

I could probably come up with some others, but that's all that's coming to mind. Though, I'll submit that Sea Change, by Beck is probably one of the saddest albums I've heard. It's very good to listen to if you're feeling kind of depressed and what not.

[strikeandburn]

Guns N Roses - Don't Cry
Pink Floyd - Fletcher Memorial Home

[temp100]

Opeth - To Bid You Farewell
Stone Temple Pilots - Creep (personally, I think it's quite sad)
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Moby - Porcelain
Alice in Chains - Nutshell
Clapton - Tears in Heaven
The Beatles - Yesterday
REM - Everybody Hurts
Elton John - Candle in the Wind
Guns 'n' Roses - Don't Cry

[xstayxtruex]

listen to any godspeed you! black emperor song..realyl depressing instramental post-rock

[wrathchild]

Pretty much everything to do with Alice in Chains.

[Gnomad]

Opeth's Damnation album is pretty fucking depressing.

And Amy Lee's music is so terrible it makes me want to kill myself, does that count?

[Joey Orion]

Sarah Mclachlan - Angel...

Laugh if you all want but this song makes me want to cry everytime I hear it. They played it for my friend Russell's funeral when he died in a car accident shortly after high school. Ever since then, when I hear the song I think about how sad his 100's of friends were on that night. It didn't matter how "cool" or how"tough" you were thatnight, everyone cried. Now I can't listen to that song without getting choked up and if I'm alone and that song comes on, I break down everytime

R.I.P. Russell.

[Casey]

Cold Wind- The Arcade Fire.

It's a song that makes me very sad so I can't be low when I listen to it. If I'm in a good mood, I can tolerate it.

[cushlinkes]

The Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen... sad, yet freakin' amazing song.

[NiNJaCYaNiDe]

Opeth's Damnation album is pretty fucking depressing.

And Amy Lee's music is so terrible it makes me want to kill myself, does that count?

I think alot of Opeth is quite sad, especially the concept of the whole album Still Life. Opeth, in general, is not nessicarily sad...but kind of depressing...in an awesome way, lol.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, another song (instrumental) that is fairly sad to me is Orion by Metallica, but only because it reminds me of this really sad HBO special I watched a long time ago.

[SAPAiC]

Most of the stuff by Mother Love Bone is incredibly sad, Man Of Golden Words, Chloe Dancer, Star Gazer, Come bite the apple. Last kiss - Pearl Jam. Nutshell - Alice in Chains, Rotten Apple - Alice in Chains, Love, Hate, Love - Alice in Chains, Shame in You - Alice in Chains, Would? - Alice in Chains, Heaven Beside You - Alice in Chains, Bleed the Freak - Alice in Chains. Yes... anything to do with AiC!
