You're welcome, bassboy. :)

Also, "Ghost" or "She Says" by Howie Day.

yo la tengo - I heard you looking
the shins - gone for good
son house - john the revelator
rolling stones - angie (just kidding, I find this song cheesy as ****)

^^^^ How could I have forgotten "Gone for Good"? "I found a fatal flaw in the logic of love" and "You wanted to sing and dance but you sat on your hands" are simple but great lines.

Ok I only have one, but it makes me cry, it's so beautifull:

Radiohead - Exit Music (for a film) a.k.a Bullet Proof (I Wish I Was)

anything off Pink Moon by Nick Drake, its pretty much a suicide note in the form of music. i don't listen too it much cuz its too ****in emotional and depressing.

"lost and found" [taking back sunday]
"going for the gold" [bright eyes]

[QUOTE][I]anything off Pink Moon by Nick Drake, its pretty much a suicide note in the form of music. i don't listen too it much cuz its too ****in emotional and depressing. [/I] [/QUOTE]

Too true. I love Nick Drake.

Radiohead - Exit Music (for a film) a.k.a Bullet Proof (I Wish I Was)

**** right that is the saddest most beautiful song i´ve ever heard

Radiohead-fake plastic tree's
[/QUOTE]

that song is in no way one of the saddest songs. it's just written in a minor, the lyrics are very sad at all though

So many, a lot of my favourite songs are really really sad. A selection:

Radiohead - Street Spirit (fade out) is the song that moves me the most. Also by them, as has already been said, Exit Music, Fake Plastic Trees and No Surprises

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue, especially because the lyrics mean so much to me. Under The Bridge as well

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah. His sigh at the beginning is exquisitely tragic.

Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry and November Rain

Annie Lennox - Into The West (from the LOTR soundtrack). Combined with the film, it has me in tears every time.

The Streets - Dry your Eyes

its over, but you're trying everything you possibly can to get her back, but there's just no way...ive only heard this song once, just a few minutes ago...

Just about anything by Radiohead.

The Smiths - "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore"
Pretty expected, right?

Sunny Day Real Estate - Phuerton Skuerto (i don't even know why, but i feel it every time)
Bright Eyes - Something Vague
Ben Folds - Fred Jones I and II
Wilco - I'm Not Going Outside
Wilco - Jesus Don't Cry
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
Jim O'rourke - (freakin everything he writes depresses me)
Mars Volta - Most of De-Loused
The Flaming Lips - What is Love and What is Hate?
Saves the Day - In Reverie
The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes

Pinback - Grey Machine

I love sad songs, but most people seem to hate them, and I don't understand why. I love them because they're so meaningful and deep, theres so much to them, they're generally not at all cheesy (relative to happy songs, some of which I can't stand, because they sound false), and often I can relate to them. And even if I'm not feeling sad I just see them as an expressive piece of art, whereas other people would call them "depressing" or "slit-wrist". Anyway enough of the theory. Here are some songs I know that I think are sad:

Radiohead - Where I End and You Begin
This is definately a sad song, and has been known to make me cry. The thing is in a minor key, but hey so are a lot of songs, but this one really sets a mood. And the lyrics just top it off: "I can watch but not take part, where I end and where you start, where you, you left me alone. You left me alone."

Feeder - Summers Gone
I love this song. It's just so intense. I don't know how many people have heard this song, but...well I just don't know what to say. Listen to it I guess.

Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
The tone of this song is great. It's very different to the other songs on the album, many of which I'd say are bland in comparison. Again the lyrics help a lot here: "When will I see that pretty face again?" for example.

Coldplay (I love this band!) - Don't Panic
There's less to the lyrics this time, but it's just a great song overall, and makes you think.

And now just to list rather than explain each (though they deserve just as much appreciation). Ones with *s next to them are particularly good. I have to warn you this list is pretty long:
Athlete - Vehicles and Animals
Catatonia - Beautiful Loser
Catatonia - Shoot the messenger
Coldplay - The Scientist
Coldplay - Trouble
Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet*
Evanescence - My Immortal
Evanescence - Hello*
Feeder - Chicken on a bone
Feeder - Descend
Feeder - Yesterday went too soon
Feeder - Piece by piece*
Feeder - Summers gone*
Incubus - Sick Sad Little World
Lene Marlin - One Year Ago
Lene Marlin - Another Day
Lene Marlin - From This Day On
Lene Marlin - Sorry
Lene Marlin - Fight Against the Hours*
Linkin Park (I know someone will shout at me for mentioning this band) - With You
Manic Street Preachers - Close my eyes*
Manic Street Preachers - Just a Kid
Manic Street Preachers - She is suffering
Manic Street Preachers - My Little Empire*
Muse - Uno
Muse - Muscle Museum
Muse - Space Dementia*
No Doubt - Don't Speak
No Doubt - Happy Now
No Doubt - Running
Queen - The Show Must Go On
Radiohead - Creep
Radiohead - Street Spirit
Radiohead - Exit Music*
Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls*
Radiohead - Where I End and You Begin*
Radiohead - I will
Radiohead - There there
Travis - Paperclips
Travis - Last Train
U2 - With or Without You

There are quite a few I've probably omitted. If you want sad songs, listen to Muse, Radiohead, Feeder, and Lene Marlin's second album.

And finally, a question: Have I gone on too long?

a few more...

Bjork - [I]The Next to Last Song [/I] (from Dancer in the Dark. I downloaded it yesterday, and god it's a hard song to listen to.)

[I]Gloomy Sunday[/I] - I'm not sure who did it originally, but it became known as the 'suicide song' as it was linked with various people who killed themselves and used the lyrics in their suicide notes. Bjork did a cover of it and it's very good.

The Smiths - [I]Asleep[/I]- I listened to this for the first time a while ago, and it is very sad. I normally can't stand Morrissey's voice, but I can make an exception with this song.

Four Tet - [I]And They All Look Broken Hearted [/I] - Very melancholic with some bizarre drum patterns.

that's enough for now...

I generally get really depressed listening to "Selmasongs"....because it always brings me back to the movie. It's gorgeous though. Even the uplifting songs like "New World" and "In The Musicals" depress me.. "I've Seen It All" with Thom is also great. The intro to "Scatterheart" is also very touching with the music box...and the intro instrumental "Overture" brought me to tears when I heard it first.

Selmasongs is definately the saddest album I own...especially if you've seen Dancer In The Dark. It's tough to listen to. As good as th movie was, I'm never ever going watch it again.

my sad songs are as follows

The Smiths- I know it's over
Joy Division- In a Lonely Place
The Clash- Lost in The Supermarket
XTC- Making Plans For Nigel(not really that sad but makes me feel horrible)
The Seeds- Can't Seem To Make You Mine
The Cure- Lullaby
Sonic Youth- Beauty Lies in The Eye
Radiohead- How I Made My Millions

My list is:

The Get Up Kids - Out of Reach & Overdue
Dashboard Confessional - The Brilliant Dance
Guns n' Roses - November Rain
Yellowcard - Rough Draft
Jet - Look What You've Done (its not that sad, but it makes my list)
Blink 182 - Stay Together for the Kids & Adam's Song
Hanson - any song (it was sad that any song they ever wrote made them famous)

---Jonny B.

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

Its sad, but one of my favorite songs of all time.
Awesome lyrics, great guitar solo, blah blah blah...just listen to it!

um these ant in order just some sad songs
1 the whole ablum of disintegration by the cure
2 last goodbye by jeff buckley R.I.P
3 something in the way nirvana unplugged version
i could go on but i have a brain block right now

"What it is to Burn" by Finch: The song isn't all that bad, but the music video where his girlfriend dies in the accident and he is crying over her gets me every time....

"Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden: This is just d*** plain depressing. He either sounds like he is drunk or he is at a funeral.

"Pepper" by Butthole Surfers: Same as Black Hole Sun. The guy is talking about a group of people that are attempting suicide.

"One" by Metallica: THE ULTIMATE DEPRESSING SONG. Hetfield describes a guy from the Vietnam War that set off a landmine that "has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hair and taken my arms, taken my legs, taken my soul, genuine life in hell."* Kickass guitar solo though. :thumb:

Those are my ultimate depressing songs, Metallica taking the cake.

*Forgive me if the last part isn't exactly right.
