Yes, but remember that when quoting words not your own, use ex-tags. Even if you don't have a link.

"Let it go"
by Etro Anime

[heh, I'm not stopping until everyone else is as miserable as I am lol...]

Hey Hellmutt, is that better?
Wow, I just learned how to use ex tags.
Cool!
Thanx!

Okay, c'mon now everyone, I want to know.
What are your sad songs.
Because like I said, I'm not stopping (at least, until I fall asleep)

Faithfully by Journey

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
Youre on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Aint no place to start a family
Right down the line
Its been you and me
And lovin a music man
Aint always what its supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
Im forever yours...faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart aint easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
Im forever yours...faithfully

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, Im still yours
Im forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully

Artist(s): Jedi Mind Tricks

Song: Razorblade Salvation

This one is kinda sad.

I know that times were hard
I know that you've been feelin' down
If you only knew how I'm feelin' for you
If I could take your pain
I wish that I could wash it all away
If you only knew how i'm feelin'

Mommy I'm sorry if my first letter made you cry
To be honest with you I don't think that I wanna die
Sometimes I feel like that I'm cancerous in others lives
Thats prolley why I drink at night and sleep till 4 or 5
It's kinda hard walking through life with my distorted eyes
When I was younger I was stupid and I thought I thrived
I thought alot about everything I said in the letter
And questioned whether or not if I was dead you'd be better
You think my shorty would be happy if I never met her
It's too late now mommy i could never forget her
Could never forget how she told me to love
Cuz my father and my grandmother is always above
It's glory above you know that daddy taught me to thug
And everytime we was with nanny she'd bombard me with hugs[damn]
I MISS 'EM mommy and it's hard to believe
That i've grown and I don't understand that why did they leave

(Better to die and sleep then never wake and sleep
Then linger on and dare to live when your souls life is gone)

You've been runnin' around for so long
You've been hurting yourself too much
You keep messin' around with darkness
You're the one whose losin x2

Mommy I think Im'a that try to stick around a while
I got a niece and my nephews they need me around a while
I think they need me cuz they hittin that age
And they aint tryin to speak to Lenny cuz they spittin' they rage
And mommy speakin of Lenny I think my brother need me
And we Italian so you know my mother loved to feed me
And it's the little things you do for me that make it worth it
Like when I play a joint that we did and you say it's perfect
And when Jay got knocked you knew that I was hurt
You told me to my heart in a song and it worked
I promised him I'd be there when he got out the bing
You aint raised me to be a liar ma' thats not my thing
I told him that I'd hold him down the whole time that he gone
they kept him locked in a cage but thats cool cuz hes strong
so mommy keep that first letter I wrote you on the low
I think I wanna stay alive and see if I can grow

You've been runnin' around for so long
You've been hurting yourself too much
You keep messin' around with darkness
You're the one whose losing x2



I know that times were hard
I know that you've been feelin' down
If you only knew how im feelin' for you
If I could take your pain
I wish that I could wash it all away
If you only knew how i'm feelin'

Keep them coming people.


...damn...that is sad.

You're No Different by Ozzy Osbourne

www.lyricsdomain.com...
How many times can you put me down
Till in your heart you realize
If you choose to criticize
You choose your enemies

Everything that i say and do
In your eyes is always wrong
Tell me where do I belong
In a sick society

You're no different to me
You're no different
No different to me

Look in yourself instead of looking at me
With accusation in your eyes
Do you want me crucified
For my profanity

Concealing your crime behind a grandeur of lies
Tell me where do I begin
If you think you're without sin
Be the first to cast the stone

You're no different to me
You're no different
No different to me
You're no different to me
You're no different
No different to me

Can't you see can't you see
You're no different to me

Won't you see won't you see
You're no different to me

Living my life in a way
That I choose
You say I should apologize
Is that envy in your eyes
Reflecting jealousy
Tell me the truth and I'll admit to my guilt
If you'll try and understand
But is that blood that's on your hand
From your democracy

You're no different to me
You're no different
No different to me
You're no different to me
You're no different
No different to me

There's a sad song by Bad Company called "Shooting Star". It's a about a guy named Johnny who left home to become a rock star and died of an overdose.

One song line in it gets to me near the end of it when it says "if you listen to the wind you can still hear him play".

Cemetery Gates
by Pantera

Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy?
Crucified for no sins
An image beneath me
Whats within our plans for life
It all seems so unreal
I'm a man cut in half in this world
Left in my misery...

The reverend he turned to me
Without a tear in his eyes
It's nothing new for him to see
I didn't ask him why
I will remember
The love our souls had
Sworn to make
Now I watch the falling rain
All my mind can see
Now is your (face)

Well I guess
You took my youth
I gave it all away
Like the birth of a
New-found joy
This love would end in rage
And when she died
I couldn't cry
The pride within my soul
You left me incomplete
Memories now unfold.

Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the
Cemetery gates

Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder aloud
If you're watching over me
Some place far abound
I must reverse my life
I can't live in the past
Then set my soul free
Belong to me at last

Through all those
Complex years
I thought I was alone
I didn't care to look around
And make this world my own
And when she died
I should've cried and spared myself some pain...
Left me incomplete
All alone as the memories still remain

The way we were
The chance to save my soul
And my concern is now in vain
Believe the word
I will unlock my door
And pass the cemetery gates

yeah, like I said, angry sad

"Let it go"
by Etro Anime

I gave to you more than I owned
And my share was still unknown
I dontt want to replay the show
Wanna let it go

You know that our love's been dying
We can't talk though we keep trying
But as long as the love is strong
Let it go
Just let it go

Integrity
Identity and
All the ghosts inside of me
Tell me there's so much I still don't know

If today you were almost dying
Well tomorrow you might be flying
We sure got a ways to go
Let it go
Gotta let it

We finally reached the day
The ties start to break away
I lied to your face I know
I'll never let him go

Don't hang ideals on me
I don't need to know how good it could be
I just want to try and stand-alone
I wanna let it go
I wanna let it go

If today you were almost dying
Girl tomorrow you might be flying
So many ways to go
Gotta let it go

My vote's on If You're Gone by Matchbox 20.

It gets me on the brink of tearing up whenever I hear it.

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I'm gonna have to go with "Last Kiss" by J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers.
Makes me sad everytime.

"Where oh where could my baby be,
The Lord took her away from me....."

Also "All Apologies" by Nirvana, a song that is an apology for being alive.



[edit on 28-11-2006 by soshootme]

Personally, it's "Addictive" by Faithless. It was playing when I broke up with my fiancee (now ex), and it still breaks my heart to hear the song.

Other songs that make me sad are:

Duran Duran - Come Undone
Garbage - Stupid Girl
Tears for Fears - Mad World
Seal - Prayer for the Dying
P.M Dawn - I'd Die Without You

Lyrics for "I'd die without you":

Is it my turn to wish you were lying here.
I tend to dream you when I'm not sleeping.
Is it my turn to fictionalize my world.
Or even imagine your emotions to tell myself anything...
Is it my turn to hold you by your hands.
Tell you I love you and you not hear me...
Is it my turn to totally understand.
To watch you walk out of my life and not do a damn thing...

If I have to give away...
The feeling that I feel.
If I have to sacrifice...
Oh, whatever babe, whatever baby.
If I have to take apart...
All that I am...
Is there anything that I would not do,
'Cause inside I'd die without you...

Oh, I apologize for all the things I've done.
But now I'm underwater and I'm drowning...
Is it my turn to be the one to cry.
Isn't it amazing how some things just completely turn around...
So take every little piece of my heart...
So take every little piece of my soul...
So take every little piece of my mind...
'Cause if you're gone... inside...
I'd die without you...

Thought I'd chime in:

"Wish You Were Here" Pink Floyd
"Release" Pearl Jam
"Black" Pearl Jam
"Too Far Down" Husker Du

Ballad of Jayne
by LA Guns

She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved ya so

Chorus
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne

U were always on my mind
A childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let u go
Hear me now cause I want ya to know

Chorus

Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shining bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still thing of u in the night
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so

Oh yeah, who could forget?...

"November Rain"
by Guns N Roses

(although they irritate the hell out of me, it's still a good sad song)

"Don't Close Your Eyes" by Kix.

I haven't heard the song in probably 15 years, so I can't recall the lyrics, but would likely come to me instantly if I heard it. Its about a girl overdosing on sleeping pills (at least that's how the video portrayed it).

seasons in the sun - terry jacks.

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach

Cats In The Cradle - Harry Chapin. I have two kids and hearing this song makes me want to freeze time so they always stay young and by my side.

Everything I Own - Bread.

There are many more but they are mostly sad to me for various reasons such as old girlfriend memories, lost youth and other such things.

"Just Close Your Eyes"
by Waterproof Blonde

Deceived by my eyes and all I was told I should see
Opinions not mine, the person they taught me to be
One night in the dark, a vision of someone I knew
And in the darkness I saw, a voice say, I'm you.
Inside me a light was turned on Then I was alive

If you close your eyes your life, a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
And find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes

Hearts uninspired, trapped inside somebody's dream
Too close to the fire, yet cold and numb with the pain
But the fever has broken, and the river has run to the sea
Washed to the ocean, and saved by a voice inside me.
Inside me a light was turned on Then I was alive

If you close your eyes your life, a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
and find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes

Never thought I would be here, so high in the air
This was my unanswered prayer
Defined by another, so much wasted time
Out of the darkness, each breath that I take will be mine

If you close your eyes your life, a naked truth revealed
Dreams you never lived, and scars never healed
In the darkness, light will take you to the other side
and find me waiting there you'll see, if you just close your eyes
