I need sad song recommendations.

Honestly right now, Metallicas ballads are really doing it for me. Fade To Black is my new theme song.

 

"Alright you motherf*****s, this next one goes out to a good little buddy of ours. He goes by the name fraroc. This song is FADE TO MOTHERF*****G BLACK!!"

Alice cooper totally stole his look

 

Tiny Tim was so weird, and yet you would not believe how popular he was back in the day. I think it was for only about 6 months or so, but he was everywhere. Yuck.

 

He was in a very obscure slasher movie called Blood Harvest that never got seen for years until Joe Bob Briggs played it on his Drive In show on The Movie Channel just because of his strange presence in a cheap horror movie. Just when you thought he couldn't be more weird.

R.E.M. actually hates that song now and they won't even have it on their hits compilations.

 

Good. My dear goodness that video was a mistake before it began.

This has been my favorite sad song for a few years now. Lyrics are sad in light of how he died. His "Waltz #1" sounds really sad as sh*t.

Big Country's "Come Back to Me" has long also been a sad song favorite, despite Big Country not being a very sad group. The lyrics about a pregnant war widow watching a homecoming parade through her lonely kitchen window are quite moving. Great music too.

"Come Back to Me". damn, I love that song. The entire Steeltown album is sadly overlooked.

In music lyrically, Ian Curtis did an amazing job highlighting the human condition, balancing between the interpersonal and the universal, perfectly. No one comes close, for me. He was a poetic genius.

 

Not metal in musical terms, when the lyrics are as fantastic as this - ?

 

 

"Atrocity Exhibition"

 

Asylums with doors open wide,



Where people had paid to see inside,

For entertainment they watch his body twist,

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

 

This is the way, step inside.

This is the way, step inside...

 

In arenas he kills for a prize,

Wins a minute to add to his life.

But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,

Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.

 

This is the way, step inside.

This is the way, step inside...

 

This is the way, step inside.

This is the way, step inside...

 

You'll see the horrors of a faraway place,

Meet the architects of law face to face.

See mass murder on a scale you've never seen,

And all the ones who try hard to succeed.

 

This is the way, step inside.

This is the way, step inside...

 

And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more,

Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years,

All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire,

Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair,

Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be.

Dark Side of the Moon is an album that I now cringe at but loved when I was much younger and pained.
