Xhua Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 "Psycho" Original song of Leon Payne in 1969, but the cover version by Teddy Thompson(Son of Richard&Linda Thompson) became soooo unuttered depressive and sad, massive sould attack! Appeared in the soundtrack of movie [Psycho] in 1999.
edna Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 As sammy said, "Wild Horses" and now that is Christmas "Happy Xmas(war is over)", John Lennon. And knowing what happened then, "Just like starting over", John Lennon. "For no one", Beatles.
Xhua Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Rod Stewart - I'd Rather Go Blind I played this song over and over, after I woke up in the dream where I saw her leaving me baby!
OLD 55 Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 "Annie" Vanessa Carlton, but like "Bright Eyes" it's not a Rock song.
bluesboy Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Rod Stewart - I'd Rather Go Blind I played this song over and over, after I woke up in the dream where I saw her leaving me baby! Welcome to Songfacts Xhua, The Original (scroll down to song review) by Etta James is also a dynamite rendition.
Kevin Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 A tie , for me : " If You Could Read My Mind" and "The Ballad of The Edmond Fitzgerald" both by Gordon Lightfoot -- ok, and no Dylanesque rock/folk debates, please ! :: "when you reach the part where the heartache comes the hero would be me But heros often fail And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take"

Jimmy1104 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 In my opinion it is Love Hurts by Nazareth which is both a sad song and also one of rock's better pieces of music. Take a listen sometime.
Xhua Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 Welcome to Songfacts Xhua, The Original (scroll down to song review) by Etta James is also a dynamite rendition. Thank you, bluesboy, I have the live version of this song performed by Etta James, Strong! But, you know, it's for a heartbreaking girl:)
SoulGirl Posted December 19, 2004 Report Posted December 19, 2004 i'm not sure if it's been mentioned but i adore 'one' by u2 - it was my first ever favourite song and i still love it. so sad
Kevin Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 " I Am Stretched On Your Grave" -- Sinead O 'Conner --great vocals , fiddle and beat ! :guitar:
edna Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Wild Horses - Rolling Stones Nan, agree totally... All the "Berlin" album by Lou Reed... he´s even got a "sad song"... "Sortly like a soap opera", Steve Forbert, is very sad. "Drive", by The cars, is so sad and so beautifull... I love it... "The Famous final scene", Bob seger... I wonder if I didn´t post this already...
Lizzie Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 of course I would pick Tears in Heaven?Eric Clapton (it was my lullaby when I was little) and most of you don't think of Avril as rock but she has some sad songs, like Slipped Away (this song was dedicated to her grandfather. They had a very strong bond and when he died, she wrote this song about her sadness) or Nobody's Home (don't know much about this one) ~Lizzie ( )
SouthSideOfTheSky Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Hey You- PF Operator- Jim Croce
Kevin Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Operator- Jim Croce Good choice ! Also " Sylvia 's Mother " -- Dr. Hook
edna Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 "Eleanor Rigby" is very sad too... (I mean, the song, not her... )
edna Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 "Back Street Girl", Rolling Stones... a very current story. Just as "Mother´s little helper".
Kevin Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 "When all hope is gone, you know those sad songs say so much..." -- Elton :guitar:
caymanguy16 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 first post here. ill go with "exit music (for a film)" by radiohead a tragic story told so beautifully
br549ky Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Behind Blue Eyes~The Who Vincent~Don McClain Nights In White Satin~Moody Blues Lucky Man~Emerson,Lake & Palmer
WaitingForMyRocketToCome Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 I'm going to have to say "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton. If you think the lyrics are sad, the story behind it is totally devastating.
RonJonSurfer Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 "In My Life" The Beatles "Drowse" Queen "Honey" Bobby Goldsboro "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" Derek & The Dominos "Reflections of my Life" Marmalade "Some Girls" Stones "God Knows I'm Good" Bowie
