I love sad music. These two songs are tied for my favorite:

1. What Hurts the Most, covered by Aaron Lewis of Staind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KItw0KA_Rkg (I think the steel guitar in this one does it for me)

2. I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You by Colin Hay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u-8bGtAVpA

    I always bawl my eyes out to:

    Broken- Seether
    Brick- Ben Folds
    Hurt- Whether NIN or Johnny Cash
    and
    I loved her first- I forgot the artist but I bawled like a baby to it when I danced to it with my father at my wedding.

    The ones that immediately come to mind are...
    Corey Hart's rendition of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You."
    Queen's "Who wants to live forever?"
    and REM's Everybody Hurts" (I know it's a positive message, but as a sufferer of depression, it stirs up a lot of emotion)


    I get a lump in my throat every time I hear them. :flowerforyou:

    I have RiRi's new album on my iPod and one of my favorite songs on there is "Farewell". It's a little on the sad side depending on how you look at it. If you want some serious sad songs, I can give you some in Spanish lol

    The Dance - Garth Brooks Song I dedicated to my Mom who died 2 weeks before my Brothers wedding...


    Somewhere over the Rainbow - with a Ukulele Played at my 14 yr old Hawaiian Nephew who died of a very rare cancer...



    It may seem strange that these songs would be sad, But to me I cant listen to either one without crying my eyes out...
