bparker1188 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Everyone has those songs to fall back on in a sad time. What are your sad songs?
cindy17838 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 My Love's Leavin -- Steve Winwood Mona Lisa's and Madhatters -- Elton John All Cried Out -- Alison Moyet Alone Again, Naturally -- Gilbert O'Sullivan Living Years -- Mike and the Mechanics Why Can't it Wait till Morning -- Phil Collins Operator -- Jim Croche Everybody Loves Me But You -- Julianna Hatfield Undertow -- Genesis She's Leaving Home -- The Beatles Blasphemous Rumours -- Depeche Mode Sinking -- The Cure Barely Breathing -- Duncan Sheik Coming up Close -- Til Tuesday This is the Day -- The The The Boxer -- Simon and Garfunkel Right about at this point in my playlist I'm feeling real sorry for myself and questioning my decision to live in a high-rise building. The balcony is just too easy of a way out. (kidding) I have more sad songs than just these and I like all of them whether I'm sad or not. I usually get out of these moods by listening to something fast that doesn't require much thought like Motley Crue, Van Halen, Ratt, or Quiet Riot. Hard to be sad when you're trying to "Come on (and) feel the noise". On another post there was a question about good songs to have sex to. I had two songs, now I have all these sad songs. Something's not right about a ratio like that.
PaulsJune Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 While My Guitar Gently Weeps - the beatles Julia - the beatles Blackbird - the beatles She's Leaving Home - the beatles I Will - the beatles can you tell i'm a bealtes fan? ::
bazooka Posted June 16, 2004 Report Posted June 16, 2004 Born With A Broken Heart by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers Anywhere Like Heaven by James Taylor Blues With A Feeling by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band The Thrill Is Gone by B.B. King Where Do You Think You're Going by Dire Straits Wicked Game (and other songs) by Chris Isaak Out On The Weekend, Helpless (and many others) by Neil Young. He can somehow make depressing songs sound real good.

XXX Posted August 14, 2004 Report Posted August 14, 2004 This is a better subject than the other one about songs that make you cry... I think there's three of these topics floating around, but I'll post in this one. Top 10 sad songs to-day: 1. "Flowers" by Rozz Williams (saddest song ever written, imo) 2. "But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter?" by Death In June 3. "Louise" by Clan Of Xymox 4. "A Strange Day" by The Cure 5. "Never Never" by The Assembly 6. "In A Manner Of Speaking" by Tuxedomoon (this one will always be listed) 7. "Asleep" by The Smiths 8. "Oproffesionell" by Kent (the whole Isola album is depressing... the Swedish version is even more depressing than the English one) 9. "Leaving" by Suede 10. "Wild Is The Wind" by David Bowie
Uncle Joe Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 "Calling All Angels" by Jane Siberry and kd lang from the movie, "Pay It Forward". Maybe because it's played at the candle-light vigil for the slain boy at the end of the movie. Very touching and prayerful sounding song. Lovely harmony, too.
_Annabelle_ Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 The Beatles: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" "Long and Winding Road" "In My Life" (Each have a very sad connotation to me .) "Tears in Heaven" - Eric Clapton "Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd "Drops of Jupiter" - Train "Candle in The Wind" - Elton John
sutho Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 When my Grandad died i constantly used to listen to "Another Ticket" by Eric Clapton it seemed to ease the pain a little.
_jr_ Posted August 16, 2004 Report Posted August 16, 2004 Man Over - Robinella and the CCstringband. About a man consumed by alcohol. Being a recovering alcoholic, it made me break down the first time I heard it. It captured the despair and hopelessness I felt for so many years in about 3 minutes.
Instant Karma Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 When I'm sad, I usually listen to happy songs to bring my mood up. But here are some sad songs. Tears in Heaven - Clapton (that song gets me every time...I start to tear when I hear it) Closing Time - Semisonic (It was on when my Dad was on the way to see my Grampa for the last time.) Lightning Crashes - Live Lots of Neil Young is sad. He's good at sad songs. Hurt - the Johnny Cash version
MuzikTyme Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 The King sang a lot of sad songs. Among my favorites are: In the Ghetto Don't Cry Daddy Make the World Go Away Release Me Suspicious Minds
ThatGirl23 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Posted August 17, 2004 Here are just a few: My Immortal - Evanescence Fallen - Sarah Maclachlan "All By Myself" - Eric Carmen "Open Arms - Journey Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross- doesn't fail to make me cry every time I listen to it. You Won`t See Me Cry - Olivia Newton John

Kate1969 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 I get a pit in my stomach everytime I hear Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here". Also James Taylor's "Fire and Rain"
GentatsuNoZanshi cc61 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 There'll be sad songs to make you cry ... loves songs often do ... and I can't remember the rest of that song. Anyway my sad songs are, among others: Victory Is Won - Santana Amber Changing - Rise Against Creep - Radiohead Heart of Gold - Neil Young Yesterday - The Beatles Days of the Phoenix - AFI Fade - Staind Total Bummer - NOFX Into The Dead Sky - At The Gates You Are Not Alone - Nobuo Uematsu (well, he composed it, anyway ... it's from Final Fantasy IX for the PSX) And more I can't think of ... I'm at work and my collection's at home.
Aunt_Acid Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 I get a pit in my stomach everytime I hear Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here". Also James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" Me too!
MindCrime Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 One song that gets me every time is Meatloaf?s ?Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Actually Are?. The beginning part is about his best friend (who has the same name as me) dying. In the video it featured him testing a homemade one-man airplane & it crashed into a tree as it lifted off the ground. Then he goes into how his father abused him as a child "My father's eyes went blank as he hit me again & again & again? Finally the ending of the song is about a long lost love who he lost his virginity to. The video showed him with her having passionate affairs in the backseat of his car (which he refers to as ?backseat like a Romeo?. Then he goes back into town to visit the old house, but an old man shakes his head with incredulity, as he appeared to be asking about her. I could personally identify with the portrayed essentials throughout the song and video & relate them to experiences in my personal life. Another one that makes me sad is Creedence Clearwater Revival - Someday Never Comes. It deals with the loss of his dad, & embarking upon the things he did for him during their time together. My father played this for me when I was a kid & gave me a hug as he was explaining the meaning behind the song to me. It makes me really think about being under-appreciative & taking my parents decisions & judgments for granted during my childhood every time I hear the opener ?First thing I remember was askin? papa, why?, For there were many things I didn?t know. And daddy always smiled; took me by the hand, Sayin?, someday you?ll understand.? One of the tracks from Tom Petty?s album Into the Great Wide Open, called For All the Wrong Reasons reminds me of a girl that I was once in love with, that vanished without a trace, I still think of her to this day. Nirvana's version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" as well as Type O' Negative - Unsuccessfully Sleeping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity remind me of my ex-fiance & it re-opens a welding scar. There was an R&B song in 1994, sang by a group about missing their mother, I'm not sure who sings it, as I haven't heard it in a long time.
XXX Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 Surprisingly (or not), Smokey Robinson's "Tears Of A Clown" always struck me as a really sad song. I recall talking about how I liked it and suddenly I began to stumble in my words because my throat dried and I began to choke up I also kinda liked that old cheezy tune by Gilbert O'Sullivan "Alone Again (Naturally)" as well as The Guess Who's "These Eyes." Coincidentally, all three are about sadness that comes from past loves who left.
XXX Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 "The Thrill Is Gone" by B.B. King Damn. That IS a sad song. I have a cover of that by Patricia Barber from the Lady Sings The Blues compilation and it's good. I can't help to wallow a bit in their beautiful misery "Wicked Game" (and other songs) by Chris Isaak Ooo yeah This guy makes sadness sound sexy. He's made a career at not being able to keep women around
Aunt_Acid Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 Focus IV- Focus Fire and Rain- James Taylor Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
