You forgot the sadest songs of them all. It got me
crying...
Melissa Etheridge - It will be me
-Mattias Johansson
... discovered these songs recently because Im going
through a really difficult time. They all seemed to
help me and I hope people who are going through similar
problems find that they help them too. Most of the songs
on the list deal with a complicated situation where
love is almost lost, but not quite..so if you have that
problem these will be great. Hope I helped someone!

There are many Beatles sad songs that I love, despite
the sorrow. Some have been mentioned already: Yes
It Is, Let it Be, She's Leaving Home, Yesterday
(the pinnacle of beautiful sad songs). I'd like to add:
Eleanor Rigby - picks up the rice in a church
where a wedding has been, lives in a dream. Waits by
the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar
by the door, who is it for? All the lonely people, where
do they all come from? All the lonely people, where
do they all belong? A whole song about loneliness, and
Paul did it beautifully.
For No One - your day breaks, your mind aches.
There will be times when all the things
she said will fill your head, you won't forget her.
And in her eyes, you see nothing, no sign of love behind
the tears. Cried for no one, a love that should have
lasted years...
I'll Be Back - You could find better things to
do than to break my heart again. This time I will try
to show that I'm not trying to pretend...
I'm A Loser - well gosh the title explains it
all.
Misery - another self explanatory song.
This Boy - Oh, and this boy would be happy just
to love you, but oh, my, oh that boy won't be happy
till he's seen you cry ....
Paul takes the cake with sad songs, he is brilliant
at songwriting all around and has written amazing sad
songs and amazing cheerful songs. I want to add a couple
Paul solo sad songs:
Here Today - written as a tribute to John.
Somedays - from the Flaming Pie album
Little Willow - written for Ringo's first wife
when she died.
Thanks and I love your site!

Burn - Usher
U Got it Bad - Usher
All by Myself - Celine Dion
Beauty and the Beast - Celine Dion
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
All at Once - Whitney Houston
Crazy - Aerosmith
I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing - Aerosmith
There You'll be - Faith Evans
Truly Madly Deeply - Savage Garden
He Still Loves Me - The film 'Fighting Temptations'
All Falls Down - Kanye West
End of the Road - Boys 2 Men
I Don't Wanna Know - Mario Winans
All my Life - K Ci and JoJo
Crazy - K Ci and JoJo
I'm so into You - Ashanti
The World's Greatest - R Kelly
Kissing you (Romeo and Juliet) - Sade
-JuenH |
There Goes My Hero -Foo
Fighters-Dave Grohl wrote this about Kurt Cobain. Immagine
watching your bandmate/friend slip away like that....thats
really upsetting.
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) -Green Day-Sad
because when you think about it, it's like Okay, your
gonna die, but when you do, make sure that you lived your
life like you wanted it, you never know when, but make
sure that you lived it right
Hurt -Nine Inch Nails/Johnny Cash -I like the NIN
version better, but the Johnny Cash one sounds sadder.
When he sings it, you can basically feel him dying. He
just sounded so old and sad. In the NIN one, you can feel
Trent's pain, and i just like that.
Love Song/Cut Here/Close To Me/ -The Cure-Almost
all of their songs are sad. Even their not-so-sad-songs
are sad... Just Like Heaven is pretty happy, and it STILL
makes me a little teary. They have a cool we-look-like-your-average-goths-but-were-cooler-than-those-assholes
thing, while still being modest, going on. (I LOVE The
Cure, Robert Smith's voice, when you hear it, is almost
like the voice of an old friend....he is awesome, the
band is awesome....)
-Cure4PixieDust80 |

Here's some sad songs I didnt
see mentioned
The Replacements - Unsatisfied
-this one ALWAYS gets to me. It probably reminds me of
my relationship
since me and my bf live in different countries and its
so usnatisfying
Shawn Mullins - Sunday Morning Coming Down
-This song literally makes me suicidal (ok well not
literally) but its soooo
damn sad.
and now for the worst of all...
Newlife - Christmas Shoes (dont know if i got the bands
name right there or not)
This song gets me mad off to no end, they write this
song for CHRISTMAS TIME and it comes on every year and
at first it sounds like a happy little story about a
family, and then they go on and you hear that this poor
little kid broke as hell is trying to buy a beautiful
pair of shoes for his mother because i want her to look
beautiful when mama meets jesus tonight . The first
time i heard that i started BAWLING, tghe second year
i remembered it being sad but forgot what it was about
and then i had to go through that all over again. The
third year everyt ime i heard it i just said FORGET
THIS and i would turn it off real quick. HORRIBLE it
is, to make people depressed like that around christmastime.
Christmas is hard enough on people as it is. Wow I did
a yoda sentence back there. Well anyways, im goign to
stop rambling now, use my songs if you find them useful.
Thanks for your time,
~Casey

| You missed two of the most classic
sad rock songs:
The Who - Behind Blues Eyes - No one knows what it's
like to be hated, to be faded, to telling only lies
Kansas - Dust in the Wind - All we are is dust in the
wind, everything is dust in the wind
Please add these two, because they're essential to the
sad song genre!

Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley
and Allison Krauss is a heart wrenching song about a young
man who leaves for World War II leaving the love of his
life behind, but he promises to return safe and sound
to him. Though when he returns he only finds his lady
love has been cheating on him. He then turns to the bottle,
he drinks and drinks. He put the bottle to his head and
pulled the trigger does not mean that he or she killed
themselves with gun they drank themselves to death. Then
she blames herself and just cannot find the strength to
get up off her knees. You really need to see the music
video to get the complete affect of the song! But in my
book the saddest song ever!
