What's the saddest song you know?

Yes, this one. I'm surprised it wasn't first on the list. I'll have to check out that Jeff Buckley song though: "You should have come over."

Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven.

Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven.

Someone Like You - Adele
I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie
Beautiful Boy - John Lennon
Hey Jude - the Beatles (the reason I want to name my son - if I ever have one - Julian)

That's all I really can think of off the top of my head right now...

LOL @ Clark

"Murder by Mistletoe" by The Felice Brothers. Such a hearty, sad song.

My Immortal by Evanescence - sad on its own, but even more difficult for me because it was played at my 19 year old cousin's funeral, (suicide)

The Long Good Bye by Brooks and Dunn

Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.

The Arms Of an Angel, by Sarah McLaughlin

The first time I heard it was the video that was made for the Every 15 Minutes Program that my daughter participated in. She was the one that was killed by the drunk driver and we had to go to the funeral home and then they did a funeral in the school gym. Song gets me every time.
They use it for the Humane Society Commercial, too.

Bonnie Raitt....I can't make you love me...

goodbye by the pain killers

i came accross this song watching the tv series of "the crow"

a sad song and even more so in the context of the show where the woman was killed along side her daughter and she has come back to avenge her death. at the end of the ep the song is playing with her "reuniting" with her daughter.

if you like sad songs, than click the links. its fine to read the lyrics, but you can almost hear the pain in her voice when she sings it.


I'm dead inside but still alive
My soul it bleeds internally
Thirsting for a sip of your smile
A year ago like yesterday
Lord you know how hard I prayed
Make you stay here for awhile

Cause life was better with you here
I know it'll take some time
to fully heal
before I say
Goodbye

Unwanted change is moving on
Holding on to everything
Just to be your thoughts for awhile
A year ago like yesterday
Lord you know I'd give up anything
Just to have you here for awhile

Even when I lied you were mine

Even when you died you were mine

Life was better with you here
I know it will take some time
to fully heal
before I say Goodbye

I've got to heal

Before I say

Before you say

Before we say

Goodbye

Johnny Cash's remake of the NIN song Hurt. I want to sob every time I hear it, his grief is so clear.

blu-there for tomorrow

and soo many more, i always listen to sad music haha

Oh, and Pomp and Circumstance (aka - that song they play at graduation)

It took me 8.5 years to get my 4 year degree - just kept chipping away at it, but finally got there. Hard to believe that was 14 years ago. I've even paid off my student loans!! That took 13 years!

I guess it's not a sad song - it just makes me a bit emotional.
