Castles Made Of Sand - Jimi Hendrix

But that all depends on what has the saddest feeling, or what has the most depressing lyrics, because sometimes you find that its not always the same

Dry Your Eyes Mate- The Streets

Gravenhurst - Damage

I heard this song recently and thought the lyrics and riff were both exceptionally moving. Combined with Nick Talbot's vocals i find it to be quite a sad piece.

^ I keep seeing that name but never got around to listening to them. Are they a singer/songwriter type of band?

Been compared to Elliott Smith and the such like. I'd suggest picking up Flashlight Seasons since it's definitely worth a few listens.

elliott smith - pitseleh
cat power - good woman
deathcab - a lack of colour, tiny vessels
explosions in the sky - the only moment we were alone
my bloody valentine - sometimes
pavement - here
pulp - bad cover version, trees
red house painters - all mixed up, have you forgotten
the shins - new slang (possibly my favourite sad song ever)
the smiths - i know it's over
sonic youth - sunday
wilco - i am trying to break your heart, ashes of american flags

HUM- Apollo

It's about an astronaut whose wife/gf doesn't like him leaving for space all the time. And I think he dies out there too. Very quiet and subdued compared to the rest of the album, which makes for a powerful contrast of moods.

[QUOTE=twistinside]explosions in the sky - the only moment we were alone[/QUOTE]

I think that's one of their happiest songs. :-/

For some reason, "Three Imaginary Boys" by The Cure always gets me heaps sad.

Cure - Trust

Carissa's weird - September Come Take This Heart Away

Notwist - Pick up the phone

Death cab for cutie - Transatlanticism

(mine) - Music for lonely people

ELEANOR RIGBY-THE BEATLES

Pink Floyd- Wish you were here

And In keeping secrets of silent earth gives me a melancholy feeling

Adam's Song-Blink 182

[QUOTE=Wanker]I think that's one of their happiest songs. :-/[/QUOTE]

yeah it always struck me as sad. and i always thought 'your hand in mine' was happy, but someone else put it on their list. weird.

Ooo i forgot about -

Ben Folds - Fred Jones Pt 2.

Possibly one of his best solo works.

Lake of Fire - Nirvana
Any song - Radiohead

Fleetwood Mac-Landslide
New Order-Blue Monday(not the ****ty Orgy version)
Desperate-Distillers

[QUOTE=Tsuruka]Any song - Radiohead[/QUOTE]
Ehh, their songs may not necessarily be happy, but they sure as hell aren't all sad songs.

[QUOTE=Wanker]Ehh, their songs may not necessarily be happy, but they sure as hell aren't all sad songs.[/QUOTE]

I agree, songs like [I]The Bends [/I]and[I] Just [/I]don't have a sad feel about them at all. They aren't even a little depressing.

[QUOTE=lilsolsman]I agree, songs like [I]The Bends [/I]and[I] Just [/I]don't have a sad feel about them at all. They aren't even a little depressing.[/QUOTE]

For a song to be truely sad, the lyrics [i]and[/i] music have to be depressing.

[i]Electioneering[/i], [i]Go To Sleep[/i] and [i]Optimistic[/i]... I mean, come on.

The Mars Volta-Miranda, This Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore.

I don't care if the four minutes of ambience before it ticks you off, listen to it.

[QUOTE=Chilifanthatsme]Is that a sad song? I don't think so, its a more energetic song...[/QUOTE]

I agree.

I actually think The Streets' "Dry Your Eyes" is a really sad song, mostly because you don't expect him to be able to pull it off. Radiohead's "Morning Bell" (the [i]Kid A[/i] one) is probably the saddest song in my collection.

311 - Eons

"Dry Your Eyes" is pretty darn sad. I'll agree.

I was listening to Bob Dylan's [I]Blood on the Tracks[/I] today, and it's pretty down in some spots, like "If You See Her, Say Hello."

lucky is radioheads saddest song, i think

Dir en Grey-Ain't Afraid to Die, The Final, Bottom of the Death Balley,Mushi, Undecided,Akuro no Oka, and Embryo.
