Saddest Song ever heard

here ya go:

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
But from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah...

[Instrumental]

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah…
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah... Hallelujah…Hallelllllllllllllllllll

AND THE ALL TIME #1 SAD SONG IS.......

Teddy Bear (Red Sovine)

 

springsteens done so many sad songs....


drive all night
stolen car
highway patrolman
my fathers house
downbound train
im on fire
racing in the street
the promise (probably the saddest song ive ever heard)
paradise
youngstown
the ghost of tom joad
if i should fall behind

yes im a springsteen fan

other sad songs....

joni mitchell - river
don maclean - vincent
neil young - out of the blue
neil young - cortez the killer

 

It doesn't effect me like it used to, but "Don't Speak" by No Doubt used to make me feel really really sad.


Also, "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman can be pretty depressing

I remember we were driving, driving in your car
the speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
city lights lay out before us
and your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
and I had a feeling that I belonged
and I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

 

Lover I don't have to love/Waste of Paint/whole Letting out the Happiness by BRIGHT EYES
Hurt by NIN ,the Johnny Cash Version
Street Spirit by RADIOHEAD
Dumb/Man who sold the world by NIRVANA

Mariah Carey's Version of Without You(no,not really )

 

Thanks very much, yovo! We were thinking of the same thing after all, and you are right, it is a moving song.

I agree.

 

My saddest song pics are:

• Joni Mitchell: "River" (Note: The song is on her album "Blue" which to me is one of the most emotional albums arranged to this date... check it out!!!)
• James Taylor: "Fire & Rain"
• Simon & Garfunkel: "Sounds of Silence" & "America"
• REM: "Everybody Hurts"
• ERic Clapton: "Tears in Heaven"
• Todd Rundgren: "It wouldn't have made any difference"

 

the scientist by cold play makes me cry like hell. i lvoe it but hate it. and creep by radiohead (he's like.. talking about me).. happiness is a warm gun is pretty but not sad i suppose.. and unchained melody by sarah mc lachlan. thats the only song ive heard from her and its so beautiful.

 

"Goodbye Love" from Rent.

 

That was one I forgot...


"Your Eyes"- Rent... When Roger yells out Mimi's name...I was bawling...

 

"One Song Glory" is a tough one too. One of those songs that really give you pins and needles when you first hear it.

Poor Johnny Larson.

 

tears in heaven

 

Yes, that is a beautiful song! I don't have the Pulse album, but the song is called Coming Back to Life and it's taken from the Division Bell album.

 

That is sad

 

tell me theres a heaven makes me cry a lot

 

I'm making a 2 CD's for a friend... one of happy/love songs and another of sad/weepy stuff. This thread really helped alot, thanks all!

I agree with many said already and won't reiterate those. In my quest was sticking with mostly "older" material and will add a few not mentioned:

Carpenters - Rainy Days and Mondays
Carol King - So Far Away
Eagles - Desparado
Harry Chapin - Cats in the Cradle
Gilbert O'sullivan - Alone Again Naturally
James Taylor - Long Ago and Far Away
Simon and Garfunkle - Time it was
King Crimson - Talk to the Wind
Billy Joel - And So It Goes

Another really good one:

Sarah McLauchlin - When She Loved Me (Toy Story 2)
(I best make sure no one else is in the room for this scene in the movie) ~7

 

In My Life - The Beatles
Honey - Bobby Goldsboro

 

I think it should be,
The Offspring is the band.
"Gone Away" is the song title.
If you haven't heard it, download it, and tell me what you think. The lyrics are below, but the way this guy from the band sings, just his voice is sad in this song, very well done for a sad song.



Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

 

My Immortal by Evanescence, its a good song and all but why so depressing??*cries**

 

bruce springsteen - paradise
