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????

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...

Mad World - Tears for fears

 

though I think the version by Gary Juels used in Donnie Darko is more emotional.

 

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

 

Death Cab for Cutie - Marching Bands of Manhatten

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

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.
