Lost prophets "hello again" it's actually not taht sad but i had happened to listen to it in my saddest time so now whenever i listen to it, it brings me back to that moment

Ben Harper - Waiting on an angel
Bob Marley - She's gone
Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Billie Holliday - Strange Fruit (very powerfull and sad lyrics "Southern trees bear strange fruit,Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.")
Gondwana - Freedom
Dave Matthews band - Long black vail
Cranberries - "no need to argue" and "to the faithful departed" cd's are 80% sad songs.
Björk - 107 steps /Along with the dancer in the dark final scene, it's one of saddest situations i've ever seen/heard,

All is full of love =====> Not a sad song at all!!!! the name speaks for itself, how can there be sadness when all is full of love?.
And Fearless - i think of it as an ancouraging song, makes me wanna jump.

testify, one of the few uplifting floyd songs, probably because it was from their early career where waters seemed more upbeat, until his later lows of the wall and the final cut.

Hey You is a sad song, as is most of the wall. I wanna listen to it now. i feel depressed anyway, the wall can save me.

Is there anybody out there, vera, nobody home, also very sad songs from that album. :(:(:(

SadoldgitfromtheCotswolds 08-24-2004 05:43 AM

Anything by the House of Love (apart from the last album they did before splitting up, which is a bit crap). Ah, the layered guitars...
Funny to think this lot were once touted as the saviours of Indie. Where did it all go wrong?

Daniel_Son 08-24-2004 09:32 AM

my two cents
 
well, there are many, many, but a few of the saddest......

Bright Eyes ~ Art Garfunkel
Mad World ~ Gary Jules (cover)
Tears In Heaven ~ Eric Clapton
She Is Not The Girl For Me ~ Stephen Toberner (you'll never find it, he's some obscure artist from sydney)
The Heart Of The Matter ~ The Eagles

ah, there are more, I know it, but meh, I can't be bothered at the moment

I would like to point out that Hurt is actually a Nine Inch Nails song. I don't like country but I will admit that Johnny Cash did a great job with that song. well, anyhoo, here is my list:

You Know You're Right- Nirvana (teh last song Nirvana recorded before Kurt Cobain's suicide. My favorite band. This song sounds like a suicide note.)

Hurt- NIN

Adam's Song- Blink 182

Disarm- The Smashing Pumpkins

Today- The Smashing Pumpkins (it sounds sort of happy, sort of sad, but Billy Corgan supposedly was depressed when he wrote it, and it makes me sad)

Bother- Stonesour

All Apologies- Nirvana

Something In The Way- Nirvana

Whoops, I OD'd- NOFX (the name is funny, but it is sort of sad)

Gone Away- The Offspring (even if you haven't lost any one you were close to it is really sad.)

Good Riddance (the time of your life)- Green Day (i listened to this when my girlfriend and I broke up. I'll admitt it, I cried for about an hour. I don't normally do that.)

My Favorite Accident- Motion City Soundtrack

Tropical London- Rancid

Aneurysm- Nirvana

Cheer- The Descendents

Cold Shower Tuesdays- Bowling For Soup

Well, I have more. Pretty much anything from Nirvana gets me because Kurt Cobain isn't with us any more and Nirvana is my favorite band. Also, the Smashing Pumpkins have alot of really sad songs. Billy Corgan is a genius. It's a shame that the Smashing Pumpkins broke up, as did Zwan, his follow-up to S.P. I haven't heard alot of Zwan, but it is Billy Corgan, so it must be great.

[QUOTE=sugarbooger]did anybody say eric clapton's "wonderful tonight"?[/QUOTE]

RollerQueen 09-04-2004 12:51 PM

[QUOTE=DMb AmouR]that is one of the most romantic beautiful songs iver ever heard how could you call that depressing??[/QUOTE]

Easily. The song is depressing if you're single and don't want to be.

quikpik919 09-04-2004 02:58 PM

fields of agony-No Use For A Name
Just about any atreyu song... haha their lyrics are depressing...
Silver and Cold-AFI
I wont see you tonight-avenged sevenfold

-FfaF- 09-22-2004 09:01 PM

What it is to Burn - Finch (i couldnt find this anywhere else on here, cant believe it.)
For a Friend - The Beautiful Mistake
As Your Voice Fades - Emery
Creep - Radiohead
Die Like This - Fuel
No Seatbelt Song - Brand New
From the Inside - Linkin Park (personal meaning...)
The Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance
Counting the Days - Goldfinger (i hate punk but this song touched me)

thats all that my depressed self can think of at the moment

cette mer bleue tragique 09-24-2004 06:03 PM

alright. the two obvious, heart shaped box and you know youre right by nirvana. you can actually hear kurt unraveling line by line in those songs...i know it sounds dumb but its true. hurt, both the johnny cash and nine inch nails. and then mad world, only the tears for fears version, the new cover thing is way too intentionally overemotional. then also phuerton skerto, for some reason, and champane from a paper cup. and jessie and my whetstone. even though it doesnt sound sad. anything by atreyu, silver bullet by hawthorne heights, and that bayside song masterpeice. yes i know im an emo kid, i just love getting beat up by real punks, so ill spare you the rest.

pj4ever 09-24-2004 06:36 PM

The Gary Jules' Mad World is a million times better than the Tears for Fears version..

Kevin Banks 09-24-2004 09:44 PM

Good call, asymn, on the Nick Drake. Anything from Nick Drake is sad. And good.

lilsolsman 09-25-2004 05:11 AM
