Saddest Songs Ever?

I have to agree with you as I felt the same way when I first heard it. I really do like the song but it is not one I play often as it makes me think a little too much.

This song kills me, I love the Frusciante version of it too:

This song came to me at an appropriate time in my life I guess or maybe it's a really sad to other people too?

One of my favourite sad songs:

The river is deep and the road is long,
daylight comes and I want to go home.
Awoke this morning
to find my people's tongues were tied
and in my dreams
they were given books to poison their minds.
The river is deep and the mountain high,
how long before the other side.
We are their mortar,
their building bricks and their clay.
Their gold teeth mirror
both our joys and our pain.
The river is deep and the ocean wide,
who will teach us how to read the signs.
The earth is our mother
she taught us to embrace the light,
now the lord is master
she suffers an eternal night.
You blocked up my ears,
you plucked out my eyes,
you cut out my tongue,
you fed me with lies,
oh lord.

 

love tears in heaven song I played that after my grandpa had passed away

Pretty much every country song is a heart-breaker - -
but this aint country and is 1 that I can relate to >>>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0t0EW6z8a0"]Neil Young - Needle and the Damage Done - YouTube
When Neil Young first started performing 'The Needle and the Damage Done' in late 1970, Danny Whitten, the guitarist in his backup band Crazy Horse, was still alive but battling a crippling heroin addiction. Less than a year after this sad song was released on Young's 1972 album 'Harvest,' Whitten was dead of an overdose. "Every junkie's like a setting sun,"

I used to have a plethora of sad songs, but honestly, that's the only one I really remember. I played it pretty frequently during the hardest grief stages of a friend's death.

My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on,
Everything I possessed, now they are gone,

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me, my only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away,

The world is a lonely place you're on your own
Guess I will go home sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do,
Memories I have remind me of you

 

Fun fact: My mom went on a few dates with James Taylor, believe it or not.

Also, I've always found this song to be pretty sad. Probably because I relate to it so much:

Winter's going
And the leaves turn green
I remember times that we have seen
I cannot rid myself of old memories
Winter'’s going and the leaves turn green

Young woman crying in the soft spring light
Pain in her body makes her weep for the night
Flowers around her can’t bring her delight
Young woman crying in the soft spring light

Summer will come and where will I hide?
Summer will come and where will I hide?
Child that I’m carrying can’t be demonized
Summer will come and where will I hide?

You said you loved me
And I believed
You said you’d marry me
And I believed
You said you’d come back
And I believed
You said you loved me
And I believed

Autumn will come
And I know what I’ll do
Autumn will come
And I know what I’ll do
I’ll kill your baby
And then I’ll kill you

Autumn will come
And I know what I’ll do
