I Know It's Over by The Smiths

The Verve
 

Okay, I haven't read all this post but for me the saddest album is A Northern Soul by The Verve.

In the past it's got me through some hard times, and even before, during and after them I've appreciated the album for what it is - **** good songs.

A couple of years back I was in a shared house, in the front room, everybody else had gone out. I was listening to the album, buzzing off it, when a couple of mates came round.

A short while later, one of them asks me... "are you alright?"

Now, the only reason they asked was because Drive You Home was playing at that moment. What I wanted to say was "OF COURSE I'M ****ING ALRIGHT! I JUST LOVE THIS SONG!". But I just said "yes." and we continued chatting.

there are many sad songs, for song to be truley said think that it also has to be a very beautiful song aswell

before i read the list and get ideas from others, i want to state what came up out of the top of my head. i've listened to beautiful boy (john lennon) and that song made me cry- the lyrics said "i can't wait to see you grow up" but john got shot so he couldn't do that.

^^^^
I don't really agree with fearless....its a song about rising to the challenge and not being afraid and i thought it's quite upbeat and makes me buzz. Meh. Hotel California is a happy-ish song but it always makes me feel sad.

For me i would have to say "tears from heaven" if you know what the meaning of the song is. Hmmm, maybe perhaps "God Only Knows" by the beach boys also.

Hole - Reasons To Be Beautiful and REM - Everybody Hurts

Thursday - War All The Time
Bright Eyes - Something Vague
THe Weakerthans - Left and Leaving

Here's some of the saddest I can think of.

Coldplay - "Trouble"
Oasis - "Sad Song"
The Verve - "You and Me"
Foo Fighters - "Friend of a Friend"
Blur - "No Distance Left to Run"
The Smiths - "Girlfriend in a Coma"
Nirvana - "Something in the Way"

AFI - this time imperfect
Neil Young - cortez the killer
streetlight manifesto - the saddest song (its not actually sad but with a title like that...)
Social Distortion - Ball and Chain
RHCP - soul to squeeze, breaking the girl etc.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Why? That was totally pointless.[/QUOTE]

well, with someone whose user name includes the words "Saves the Day", what do you expect?

[QUOTE=wheniamking]Radiohead - No surprises
REM - everybody hurts[/QUOTE]


i actually always thought of no surprises as a lighter, happier song, hence my name.
"Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden. No alarms and no surprises, please."

but im not going to argue

but i guess its alittle sad.

im saying mr bungle's pinkk cigarette

ok no more posts from me

brand new- no seatbelt song

[QUOTE=Kid_Dynamite]Weezer-Butterfly(weezer kicks ***)
Weezer-Only in Dreams
[/QUOTE]
thank god someone finally realized the truth of =w= music. yes, they do kick ***, and for that, they save music's teqnique. for mine, though, i'm going to have to say that the music that i write depresses me the most. both because it's bad and because it's sad. from other stuff
styx-dear john
queen-rhapsody
dashboard-anything, it's just that bad!
trebble charger-brand new low -sad how a song like this gets to me

Staind - Epiphany ... {This one seems to get to me every time, Aaron Lewis' vocals are chilling IMO}
Goo Goo Dolls - Acoustic #3 ... {"What's the point in all this screaming, no one's listening anyway"}
Teitur - I Was Just Thinking ... {"I was just thinking, that I have been missing you for way toon long"}
Switchfoot - You (Always Something)
Stephen Fearing - Dog on a Chain/James Medley
Stephen Fearing - The Lark/Robert's Waterloo ... {This guy truly is one of the more masterful acoustic guitarists and lyricists I've ever seen and heard. Really worth getting his live cd, "So Many Miles", if you're into acoustic stuff.}
Silverchair - Ana's Song (Open Fire) ... {There's just something about Silverchair...}
Rage Against The Machine - Beautiful World ... {"It's a beautiful world for you, not me."}
Incubus - Mexico ... {The "interlude" kind of part where Brandon hits the higher notes gets to me.}
Five For Fighting - Jainy ... {"Jainy stares at stars every night..."}
Coldplay - Trouble ...
Chevelle - Closure ... {"Closure has come to me, myself. You will never belong to me."}
Bruce Cockburn - Pacing The Cage ... {Some of the best lyrics I've ever heard.}
Blue Rodeo - Falling Down Blue ... {It's got a nice jazzy, lounge feel to it...might not be the saddest thing ever written but it's still a really good song.}
Ben Harper - Another Lonely Day ...
Azure Ray - For No One ... {"I'm here in vain."}

[QUOTE=Krash100]Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss" is one of the saddest I've ever heard[/QUOTE]

i seriously don't think last kiss is that sad.
yes, it's meant to be sad, but it seems so forced
i just don't like it at all.

other than that i love pearl jam, they have some very sad songs

but my saddest would beeeee:
rilo kiley - a better son/daughter
the smiths - half a person and please please please
grandaddy - saddest vacant lot in all the world
rufus wainwright - across the universe (yes i realise it's a cover but i like it better)
red house painters - all mixed up (yes i realise it's a cover but i like it better and props to whoever said this song before)
deathcab for cutie - technicolour girls

i can't think of anymore at the moment

No Surprises: wow i was just listening to the california album and "Pink cigarette" when i read your post. good to see some other bungle fans in here.

I also think that "retrovertigo" off the same album is a really sad song, but in a weird way. It's all slow strumming of major chords and what seems like upbeat sounding vocals, but the lyrics are dark and the whole song gives me a very eerie feel overall, which can be quite depressing too.... i still love the song though.

porcupine tree - collapse the light into earth
radiohead - street spirit
explosions in the sky - have you passed through this night?
explosions in the sky - the only moment we were alone
esplosions in the sky - your hand in mine (for some reason, the saddest of all these songs)
godspeed you black emperor - moya/the dead flag blues/east hastings
