Whats everyones favourite sad songs? not necessarily about sad stuff, just songs that sound all depressing!! a few of mine are: marilyn manson-coma white, pearl jam-last kiss, guns n roses- dont cry, tori amos- silent all these years
Behind Blue Eyes- The Who Yer Blues- The Beatles Hey You- Pink Floyd Heroin- Velvet Underground Jackass- Beck Elenor Rigby- The Beatles
All Apologies-Nirvana Behind Blue Eyes--The Who only because my friend sung that song in a talent sho and he sucked SO bad..he killed an amazing song
I Know Its Over - The Smiths Lover You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead Mwah!!!
Harry Nilsson - Without You Abba - The Winner Takes It All (Agnetha broke down whilst recording this and they spliced a retake into the song and it never fails to move me) Elvis Presley - In My Way (150s of heartachingly beautiful voice and guitar) Elvis (again) - Don't Cry Daddy
Hurt-Nine Inch Nails(not the johnny cash one) Modern Angel-Front 242 Retrovertigo-Mr. Bungle Epitaph-King Crimson
The Radiohead response of "Fake Plastic Trees" is so apt... I was at this great bluegrass festival called Mannerland here in the Southeast...We had been getting CRAZY back at the campsite, and were rolling hard into the morning...Barefoot Manner just finishes their 3 hour set... It's 3 in the morning, and the party is just getting started... It's Friday night after all... As all festivarians know, Friday is THE NIGHT FOR FUN... So, I'm rolling so hard and have just had an amazing musical experience. I'm wearing my Hail to the Thief Radiohead shirt... I've just split with my dear friend...She is walking one way... I am walking the other... Fake Plastic Trees comes on over the loudspeaker as the Post Show music... I'm like "WTF?" We are at a Barefoot Manner festival, where bluegrass and mandolin are as common as the bass and drums... And they're playing Radiohead? And "Fake Plastic Trees?" Amazing... My dear friend and I both spin around and walk towards each other, and embrace in a huge, ECSTATIC, I love the hell out of you you crazy girl for putting up with my crazy ass kind of Hug, and we LISTEN. "If I could be who you wanted...If I could be who you wanted...All of the time..." That moment gets more apt as every day passes...I'm so happy in my life... But that dear friend...Ah man...She kills me... OK...Back onto topic... "At Least That's What You Said" by Wilco (AMAZING!) "True Love Waits" by Radiohead (Haunting...) "Lucky" by Radiohead (Chillbumps...) "Guilty" by Bonnie Raitt (don't diss the Diva of Blues... this is a 1972 recording that is older than the majority of the posters on this board. If you haven't heard this, then don't diss dear Bonnie... An AMAZING track... "It'll take a whole lot of medicine, darling, for me to pretend that I'm somebody else." Oh WOW!)
"pictures of you" by the cure "i was the one" by the hoodoo gurus "green" by figures on a beach "the long and winding road" by the beatles "i'll feel a whole lot better" by the byrds there's probably more, i went through quite a long goth phase, and most of the goth songs i loved were sad. (duh) for the record, i love breakup songs. breakup songs are wonderful.
You consider that a sad song? But I guess I could see how you could come to that... I agree with your others though. For me... Queen Jane Approximately - Bob Dylan
