[QUOTE=-LilSolsman-]that's a horrible list, so cliché :amaze:[/QUOTE]

You mean a lot of people agree with him? Funny, that. :rolleyes:.

'Wake Me Up When September Ends' - Green Day: purportedly, it's about his [Billie-Joe's] dad dying of cancer when he was ten. But it's really sad, and really nice, at the same time.

'Dosed' - The Red Hot Chili Peppers: it's such a sweet song.

'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' - Green Day: it's just an epic ballad of self-destruction. It's so tragic.

^^^ Good LORD is that Grandaddy song depressing....

I joined this place for just one reason, to say how ... overjoyed I was to see a decent number of people recognized how amazing Grandaddy is.

Nonphenomenal Lineage
Jed the Humanoid
Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)
He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot
Everything Beautiful is Far away
The Warming Sun (sucks balls when you can relate to this song)

all of those by Grandaddy. I wish more people knew them. I'd also like to contribute:
The Flaming Lips - Suddenly Everything Has Changed
and quite possibly the saddest song of all time (agreed upon by many many people):
Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber (it's the song that plays at the beginning of Platoon)

doubt I'll be around here again, but thank [I]you[/I] guys for understanding good ****

Morphine - The Saddest Song

But really, Gone For Good is probably one of the saddest, most naked songs I have heard.

sup bumping old threads.


I'd say "In The Nervous Light Of Sunday" by Circle Takes The Square.

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens

Umm..

The Verve- Drugs don't work
Alice Cooper- i never cry
Bob Dylan- Like a rolling stone
Dylan- Knocking on heavens door
U2- One and Sunday bloody sunday (think of the situation behind the song)


But I always find that Eric Claptons- tears in heaven is such a sad song..Probaly the saddest song I have ever heard..

RHCP - I Could Have Lied
Incubus - I Miss You, Mexico
NIN - Right Where it Belongs

Others i thought have been posted..

Jeff Buckley - Lost Highway
Radiohead - Exit Music (From A Film)
Manic Street Preachers - Small Black Flowers that Grow In the Sky (the live version is just :()
The Libertines - The Good Old Days, especially since they split :(


ah I'm all :( now

[QUOTE=rbv]Chicago - Sufjan Stevens[/QUOTE]

[I]Romulus[/I] and [I]Casimir Pulaski Day [/I]are so much more heartbreaking.

Especially when he plays it live.

I almost cried.

[QUOTE=son of sam]tearjerker- RHCP is kinda sad[/QUOTE]
thats about kurt cobain

"Good Woman" by Cat Power has the ability to destroy me.

Porcupine Tree - Collapse Light Into Earth
Radiohead - Exit Music(For a Film)
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell

I can't remember that many :\

Some that come to mind:

Radiohead - No Surprises, HtDC, Let Down, Street Spirit
Ryan Adams - Wonderwall
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye, Hallelujah
The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out
Elliot Smith - Angeles, Baby Britain

Foo Fighters: Tired of You

Just heard it, thought it was pretty sad sounding...

Jimi Hendrix: Little Wing

I don't know about sad, but Neil Young can make some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I.E., [I]Harvest Moon[/I]:

Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

A lot of stuff by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young is like that, check out Teach Your Children.

Then again, I'm a total Neil Young whore :)
