Roddy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 What, in your opinion, are the saddest songs ever written? 'Tears' immediately springs to my mind as possibly the saddest song EVER, but what are some others that always bring a tear to your eyes????

Larks Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 there are many songs... here are some that comes to my mind. 1.King crimson-Epitaph:IMO this is the greatest song ever written,and it brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it.. such a powerful song it's unbelivable.. 2.The moody blues-Nights in white satin-the lyrics and the gentle vocals and beautiful melody here really makes this song special and sad. 3.Uriah heep-july morning WOW... this song also brings tears to my eyes, i just cant describe it.. 4.DP-child in time-the screaming part is the saddest and most beautiful things ive ever heard.. Dream theater-Space dye vast-the lyrics and the piano are just touching and sad... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

progrush2112 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Mad World - Tears for fears though I think the version by Gary Juels used in Donnie Darko is more emotional.

tangy Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 QUOTE (tangdog @ Nov 9 2006, 08:24 AM) Lynryd Skynyrd- Was I right or wrong? (Gary Rossington - Ronnie Van Zant) Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze Once I was a tumblin' weed Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone Living for the day my train would come I never cared for school or any golden rules Papa used to always say I was a useless fool So I left my home to show them thay was wrong And headed out on the road singing my song Then one sunny day. The man, he looked my way And everything that I dreamed of, it was real Money, girls and cars; and big long cigars And I caught the first plane home so papa would see When I went home to show 'em they was wrong All that I found was two tombstones Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Oh, such a sad song First I got lost, then I got found But the ones that I love are in the ground Papa I only wish you could see me now Take a listen papa Whoo, I learnt how to play my guitar Gonna be a superstar First I got lost, then I got found The ones I love are in the ground Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong If there's any way you can hear what I say Papa, I never meant to do you wrong All the money, girls and cars. And all the world's long cigars Papa, I just want you to know they couldn't take your place When I went home to show 'em they was wrong All that I found was two tombstones Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Oh, such a sad song First I got lost, then I got found But the ones that I love are in the ground Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom_Fighter Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 (edited) Tears by Rush is probably my favorite sad songs. I also love Mr. Curiosity by Jason Mraz, The Noose by A Perfect Circle, and Solitude by Evanescence. also, have any of you heard Soldier Side by System of a Down? oh my god, that song is so powerful. i get shivers every time i hear it, and it almost brings tears to my eyes cuz the chorus it's just so powerful and sad. They were crying when their sons left God is wearing black He's gone so far to find no hope He's never coming back They were crying when their sons left All young men must go He's come so far to find the truth He's never going home man i get shivers just writing it. i know there are tons of other great sad songs but those are just the first ones that come to mind.

Maddy Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 "My Immortal" by Evanescence. I can't listen to it without breaking down. "Spending My Time" and "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette "Take This Waltz" by Leonard Cohen "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum "Never Fade Away" .38 Special "Back On The Chain Gang" - the Pretenders "Joey" - Concrete Blonde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 As mentioned in an earlier thread I've yet to hear anything as harrowing as most of the songs on Lou Reed's "Berlin". Caroline Says, The Kids are unbelievably bleak. Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" is heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
