Saddest songs...

UnforgettableLemon · 11-29-2001, 09:27 PM

OK, help me come up with a list of really sad emotional songs for a CD I'm making. Right now all I know I'm putting on it is "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.

Screaming Flower · 11-29-2001, 09:29 PM

sweetness follows - r.e.m.

UnforgettableLemon · 11-29-2001, 09:37 PM

I think I'm gonna put Smashing Pumpkins- Crestfallen on there too.

SicilianGoddess · 11-29-2001, 09:51 PM

Most anything from Passengers........

And the best of B-sides........

Those songs always make me sad.

Discoteque · 11-30-2001, 12:51 AM

"Tomorrow" (both versions), "So Cruel", "One" and "Drowning Man" always bring a tear to me eye...

I know Leonard Cohen as a TON of others that would suffice, but can't remember any of the titles, sorry...

I second that.

Also -

* 'Everybody Hurts' R.E.M.
* 'Nightswimming' R.E.M.
* 'Never is a Promise' Fiona Apple
* 'Angel' Sarah Maclachlan (sp?)
* 'Absence of Fear' Jewel
* 'Fat Boy' Jewel

LuvLady · 11-30-2001, 01:44 AM

More suggestions -

* Pretty much anything by David Gray

'This Years Love', 'Nightblindness', etc

* Lots of Travis - 'The Last Laugh of the
Laughter', 'Luv', 'Slide Show', 'Dear
Diary', etc

a lot of Chris Isaak stuff
Isaak's version of ONLY THE LONELY off the Baja Sessions album is stellar
most anything off FOREVER BLUE is very sad

I find TRYING TO THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND THE WORLD a very sad song

lord I'm drawing a blank, I used to have my own sad song mix tape.

HIGH AND DRY- radiohead

ON AND ON- by the Long pigs

Catch- The Cure

HelloAngel · 11-30-2001, 02:09 AM

Ooh that reminds me, I think it was called 'Save Me', it was on the Magnolia soundtrack. Gorgeous.

"Withered and Died," Richard Thompson.

Popmartijn · 11-30-2001, 04:48 AM

Hello,

For me, the saddest song ever is The River by Bruce Springsteen. Especially the second verse is so sad!

Quote:

Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress

And the ending: "Is a dream a lie when it don't come true, or is it something worse."

SOB!

Not really sad, but very depressing is Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan. Lovesick, Not Dark Yet, Trying To Get To Heaven, all quite sad/depressing songs.

C ya!

LAst Goodbye - Jeff Buckley, always does a number on me.

Angel - by Sara M. Ugh - they played this at a friend of mine's funeral a few years ago - I cant even listen to it.

Gina Marie · 11-30-2001, 07:51 AM

Well-already mentioned is the first one that comes to my mind-'Angel' by Sarah MacLachlan.

I cry so much at that song, that I even cried listening to in on airplane headphones one time, right in front of all those people.

Another sad one by her is I Will Remember You.

Also-Tears In Heaven-Clapton

I know this is probably weird, but I think that Green Day song-Time Of Your Life-is very sad-maybe melancholy is a better word.

All Apologies-Nirvana

Squid · 11-30-2001, 04:01 PM

I'm biased because I'm a huge R.E.M. fan, but Everybody Hurts and (especially) Sweetness Follows and (especially especially) Nightswimming are really sad songs. Especially Nightswimming.
