| Saddest Songs I Know
I'm addicted to morbidly depressing music, which also aligns with my taste in movies. | | 1 |  | Carissa's Wierd
Songs About Leaving
Low Budget Slow Motion Soundtrack Song for the Leaving Scene - "I'll just keep waiting for you" One of the few songs that has made me bawl, horribly sad band | | 2 |  | Joy Division
Closer
The Eternal - "Accept like a curse an unlucky deal" Song's about a kid Ian knew in his youth that never left his house and when he last saw him as an adult, he hadn't changed a bit. enough said | | 3 |  | Low
The Great Destroyer
Death of a Salesman - "I forgot all my songs the words now are wrong and I burned my guitar in a rage" Trading your music for an ordinary life. Low is one of my all time favorites and could own this list | | 4 |  | Jason Molina
Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go
Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go - "As long as there’s no forgiveness" Let me be forgotten. His voice is ghostly and tortured enough to make me sick | | 5 |  | Cat Power
What Would the Community Think
King Rides By - "Need your love more than you'll ever know" My personal favorite Cat Power record. She was obviously on some shit when this came out. | | 6 |  | Sun Kil Moon
Admiral Fell Promises
Alesund - "I felt them like a flame candle in my cold bones" Melancholic to the core, my heart always sinks hearing this | | 7 |  | The Smashing Pumpkins
Adore
Shame - "You’re gonna walk so far You’re gonna wonder who you are" Smashing Pumpkins' first four records are perfection. Adore takes the cake for being highly underrated and extremely somber. This song in particular I used to jam on walks back home from school. The best part of the track is when the bass hits after the second chorus which is the equivalent of an anvil lodged onto you from the sky. | | 8 |  | The Cure
Pornography
Siamese Twins - "Is it always like this?" Wow, Robert Smith's intricately weird imagery really pays off with this song. It's a strange but crushing song that I guess is about a soulless sexual experience. | | 9 |  | Xiu Xiu
Fabulous Muscles
Fabulous Muscles - "No romance, no sexiness but a star filled night" A very not good romance filled with freakish lyrics and a tortured voice lightly strumming guitar | | 10 |  | R.E.M.
Out of Time
Country Feedback - "It's crazy what you could've had I need this" Stipe writing from the stream of consciousness, this song is perfect at telling how erratic one can be facing a broken relationship | |

06.26.20 | 8 can be so many songs by The Cure, I personally think The Figurehead is the saddest song of all time. | Sunnyvale
06.26.20 | John Prine-Hello In There
My buddy claims it's the saddest song ever, and I think he's probably right | Scheumke
06.26.20 | Nice, def gonna listen to some of those I love me some tear-jerkers. Try 'A Trace of Blood' (with the lyrics obv) from Pain of Salvation. Stuff is heartbreaking. Or by the same band if you are looking for something more outright depressing try 'The Passing Light of Day'. Other favorites of mine are:
- Glen Hansard - Leave a Light
- Nick Cave - Bright Horses
- Tom Waits - Martha
| Icebloom
06.26.20 | Oh damn, nice picks man - I love 1, 2 6 and 10. Great albums as well, tracks like Farewell to All These Rotten Teeth, So You Wanna be a Superhero, Decades and basically every song off Pornography would also be suitable here. | JeremiahBullfrog
06.26.20 | yeaaaah shout out for Sun Kil Moon, absolutely adore that album / song | JeremiahBullfrog
06.26.20 | i'd include The smiths "I won't share you" and "I know it's over" | ItsTheSquirrel
06.26.20 | Some great picks here, the saddest song I've ever heard is probably How To Disappear Completely by Radiohead | hel9000
06.26.20 | Great stuff here. Love 2,3,6,7,8 | zoso33
06.26.20 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-b2hEgZFCQ - thom yorke- all for the best (mark mulcahy cover)
gut-fucking-wrenching cover | Slugboiiii
06.26.20 | Flowers and You by Touche Amore always fucking destroys me
| JustJoe.
06.26.20 | james blake’s “a case of you” cover fucks me up sometimes | hel9000
06.27.20 | Scheumke said Tom waits’ Martha, I second that. Also Kentucky Avenue and No One Know I’m Gone. | ArsMoriendi
06.27.20 | You'd like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql-_j2A-Mmc | Minushuman24
06.27.20 | songs are sad can confirm
Motion Picture Soundtrack and Floating in the Forth do it for me | hel9000
06.27.20 | To add to The Eternal, Twenty four hours or especially Isolation: “Mother I tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can, I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am”. Jesus |
