marko90 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I'd say "My Immortal" Evanescence...that would be my main one, though it depends on the type of sad!
SoulGirl Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I can already tell this is gonna be a long list! hmmm let's see... So Far Away - Carole King Parachutes - Coldplay Secret Track at the end of Parachutes - Coldplay Cold Water - Damien Rice Older Chests - Damien Rice Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - David Gray Jeannie's Diary - Eels Selective Memory - Eels (started crying on the underground yesterday listening to this - eek!) Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton Walking After You - Foo Fighters Mad World - Gary Jules Time Of Your Life - Greenday (cliched but has a special meaning) Calling You - Jeff Buckley Everybody Here Wants You - Jeff Buckley Forget Her - Jeff Buckley Hallelujah (cliched but sad) - Jeff Buckley Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley Morning Theft - Jeff Buckley Gethsemane - Jesus Christ Superstar Pilate's Dream - Jesus Christ Superstar (was in a production of this last year and the men who played Jesus, Judas and Pontius Pilate were all very powerful) Foolish Games - Jewel Ride On - Jimmy McCarthy / Christy Moore Hurt - Johnny Cash (caught me by surprise the other day. the video came on tv and i ended up cryng my eyes out!) Your Ghost - Kristin Hersh No Surface All Feeling - Manic Street Preachers Nobody Loved You - Manic Street Preachers She Is Suffering - Manic Street Preachers This Is Yesterday - Manic Street Preachers Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra I think Strange Fruit - Nina Simone or Jeff Buckley All Apologies - Nirvana Heart-Shaped Box - Nirvana Polly - Nirvana Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana Jeremy - Pearl Jam Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd or Sparklehorse with Thom Yorke It's A Fire - Portishead Sour Times - Portishead Black Star - Radiohead Bulletproof - Radiohead Creep - Radiohead Exit Music (For a Film) - Radiohead Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead High And Dry - Radiohead Lucky - Radiohead Everybody Hurts - REM (very predictable I know but it was all over the radio when my grandfather died and then i saw them in concert on his exact fourth anniversary and made eye contact with Michael Stipe while in tears during this song!) When She Loved Me - Sarah McLachlan. That song from Toy Story 2, it never fails to reduce me to tears, i think it uses a Randy Newman piano piece and even just hearing that makes me cry! Mary - Scissor Sisters Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins Blackbird - The Beatles Yesterday - The Beatles You've Got To Hide You Love Away - The Beatles Disappointed - The Frames What Happens When The Heart Just Stops - The Frames I Know It's Over - The Smiths One - U2 Stay (Faraway, So Close) - U2 With Or Without You - U2 I Don't Wanna Talk About It - Dunno who sings it, think it's been done a few times but my mum used to sing a great version! Black Is The Colour - Traditional Irish Song PHEW!!! that took alot of effort and i dunno if anyone will even read it but making it was fun anyway!
AliceNchains Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Shame In You - Alice n Chains Spaceboy - Smashing Pumpkins Down in a Hole - Alice in Chains Macy's Day Parade - Green Day Actually everything Alice in Chains have done, and same with The Smashing Pumpkins. Great Bands!
edna Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 "As tears go by" made me sad on those rainy winter monday school days...
Spudgun Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 Roads - Portishead : best sad song I ever heard...best song I ever heard...Beth Gibbon's voice is haunting, enough to make you feel she understands what your going through. Works for me!!!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 Hi Spudgun...welcome to the asylum. 1] I am intrigued/completely freaked out by your avatar. 2] I absolutely love your signature quote. Rock on, man...
nobody_home Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 It seems a lot of people here are really sad , looking at the number of songs they list. A couple of songs I'll listen to when I'm feeling a bit melancholy include New York's Not My Home - Jim Croce and Keep Me In Your Heart - Warren Zevon
XXX Posted October 23, 2004 Report Posted October 23, 2004 "Tu Con El" by Los Iracundos "El Muchacho De Los Ojos Tristes" by Jeanette "Almohada" by Jose Jose "Quizas Si, Quizas No" by Sabu "Donde Estes, Con Quien Estes" by Camilo Sesto Yeah, in Spanish. I think only Edna might know the songs I listed here
edna Posted October 23, 2004 Report Posted October 23, 2004 Oh, I know the singers but not the songs... I could add some brezilian Roberto carlos "Enamoradinha dun amigo meu" or let´s talk about any argentinian tango... XXX, you´re great!!!...laughing:laughing: I could post plenty of these but I´d rather post some french ones this time: whole Jacques Brel. nearly whole Edith Piaf. and it´s true, we already have plenty of sad songs... I´m gonna cry... sniff... I´ll cheer up with some Leonard Cohen or Neil Young...
Danielj Posted October 23, 2004 Report Posted October 23, 2004 I'll cheer up with some Leonard Cohen or Neil Young

XXX, you´re great!!!...laughing:laughing: I could post plenty of these but I´d rather post some french ones this time: whole Jacques Brel. nearly whole Edith Piaf. I love Roberto Carlos! There's also a song called "Candilejas," which sounds exactly like him, but is sung by a guy named Jose Augusto - he's also from Brazil (I guess it must be an accent thing that makes them sound the same). "Candilejas" is such a slow, wistfully sad song South American music is great: Vallenatos, Bossa Nova, Argentinian Tango, and even the political protest music from Venezuela French singers? I like Charles Aznavour I'm not familiar with French music and the little I've heard bears no resemblance to the stuff I hear in Spanish and Italian Italian Romantic ballads instead sound so much like Spanish ones. I think some of these songs come off as "sad" because of nostalgia Then again, "Y Te Vas" by Jose Luis Perales isn't exactly the happiest song
windy1 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Posted October 23, 2004 As Tears Go By, great pick. I like Love Hurts, the original by Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, but Dokkens is right behind.
edna Posted October 24, 2004 Report Posted October 24, 2004 XXX, how comes you know so much about the spanish & hispanic music? Well, you must be also a rock critic, or something like that...!! Do you know Serge Gainsbourg? I admit you must be french to know/love him... he´s a genius. As for bresilian music, I like very much the first bossa nova, Joao Gilberto, for isntance. Mick Karn, of Japan, made a cover of "La Distancia", by Roberto Carlos. It´s a very sad song... I love to discuss music with you!!
chimpevil Posted October 24, 2004 Report Posted October 24, 2004 I never heard the version of Love Hurts that you refer to, Windy, but I think the original was done in the 50's, maybe by Roy Orbison??? I'll have to ask my uncle.
chimpevil Posted October 24, 2004 Report Posted October 24, 2004 Anything by eminem is pretty sad--wait you mean sad as in boo-hoo, not sad as in tired! For real, though, when I was 12 my father took me to see Patti Labelle in concert, and I think it might have been the best show I ever saw. Man, is she electrifying!!! Her version of Wind Beneath My Wings dedicated to her sister who had just died was pretty powerful (my Dad was actually weeping and he ain't no weeper believe me!) Others- Behind Blue Eyes-The Who Hendrix-If 6 Was 9 Hail Mary-Makaveli (the minor key running through it is devastating) I Will Always Love You-Whitney (unfortunately her life is even sadder) Angie-Stones
InstantKarma Posted October 24, 2004 Report Posted October 24, 2004 Tears in heavem- Eric Clapton Creep-Radiohead Hurt- NIN Adam's Song- Blink182 Imagine- John Lennon. (sorta long story) And plenty more where that came from.

Mick Karn, of Japan, made a cover of "La Distancia", by Roberto Carlos. It´s a very sad song... I love to discuss music with you!! I know of Charlotte Gainsbourg, but I've heard some things from her father. Those old kitschy 60s Pop songs with Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin Me a music critic? Naw. Nowhere near that. I'm just someone who still listens to Diego Verdaguer, Amanda Miguel, Leo Favio, and Los Iracundos as if they had released their hit song yesterday - frozen in the past, like everyone else here Se un poco de musica en Espa(ny)ol. El username que yo tengo es el nombre de un album de Miguel Bose :: Pude haber sido "Salamandra" tambien, aunque la referencia en la cancion es femenina
edna Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 Bueno, XXX, you amaze me!!! You must have some spanish relative, your spanish is excellent... Funny you remember "Los Iracundos", this was a pop band of the 60s, when I was a kid living in Buenos Aires... as well as Leonardo Fabio... I liked very much "Los Gatos" (La Balsa) and poquito más... Serge Gainsbourg did that stupid thing "Je t´aime moi non plus" with BB, but the famous version is the one with Jane Birkin (ex of John Barry). He´s a great writer and musician. He wrote songs for France Gall, Gréco, Hardy, BB... everybody! Charlotte is Jane´s daughter but she sings awfull, she´s an actress. Diego Verdaguer was also a pop singer when I was a child, only I left South Anerica being a teen-ager. And as I was in a french world I had few contact with hispanic music, but of course, I remember bastante! Glad to talk with you! I´m still taking huge packs from one house to another, under the rain, I´m very glad to have a new house... hope my internet connection will be back soon (I took the computer to my parent´s place until we have internet again) Besitos, XXX!! :happybanana: :happybanana:
XXX Posted October 25, 2004 Report Posted October 25, 2004 Que le vaya bien en su nuevo hogar. La esperaremos aqui para cuando regrese - que sea pronto
