What are the saddest songs you know?

These ones always get me choked up (No! I just got something in my eye):


Stevie Ray Vaughn's instrumental version of Hendix's: Little Wing



Pantera: Hollow



Sarah McLachlan: Angel



Matisyahu: Late Night in Zion


I should atleast get points for putting Sarah McLachlan and Pantera on the same list.

5. Death Blooms

Cold seems crippling lame meander through corridors
aroma's thickwith age mark off the day reflections of
my life are fading

Pull me out somebody don't want it don't want in,
Feeble, frail, and rotting descending I'm lost in
Structure that's collapsing don't want it,
Hasten to take the body don't want it wants me

Past has found its place salvation is no more will god
accept my peace bleached will pardon me reflections of
my life are fading
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble, frail, and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing don't want it
Hasten to take the body don't want it wants me

I just want to run around fly kites wrestle jump and
play
Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
cocooned in misery

I'm sick and tired of embracing reflections of past
time receive me or cast me away, god please take me
away
resistance futile suicidal ideas I will crucify my own
being satisfy
selfish needs # the deities justify my own right to
what's waiting for me

On the other side the time has come lock and load I'm
coming I'm, coming, I'm coming, I'm coming home

Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble, frail, and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing descending don't want
it,
Maker take the body don't want it wants me,
Pull me out of body don't want it don't want in,
Feeble, frail, and rotting descending I'm lost in,
A structure that's collapsing descending don't want
it,
Maker take the body don't want it wants me

I just want to run around fly kites wrestle jump and
play
Swim through waves that crash to shore memories in me
cocooned in misery
The darkness overcomes soul soars to the other plain
Existence past the door I sail through purgatory's bay

I asked a god for poison cradle me sown to my dreams
souls searching
death blossoms where clouds lie over me held in god's
hands death
blooming

Dark for fear of failure an inner gloom as wide as an
eye and
fermenting roiling hate death grip in my veins
unveiling rancid
petals flowering forth foul nectar the space between a
blink and a
tear
...death blooms.

...I lost you, you were my god thought what do I do now
you were never there for me never there to carry me,
26 years looking back that time is gone it was you I believed in look
what you've done to me realize what you've done to

Me

I can't see going on in this darkness I'm blind beneath my cradle the
bough has broke, I exorcise my loss your lie the punishment

It takes time to try to mend the wounds of all the suffering,
What do I do now all I'm asking from you please send me a sign to
guide me through the times that lie in front of me I'll get by
myself

Look at me now, a piece of # like you.
Look at me now, you left me so # you.

Everybody leaves me, everybody's gone.
Watch my father leave me, there's nobody left.
Feels like I've never been loved.
Everybody leaves me, never gave a # about me.
Everybody's gone, I'll rot in my head alone.
I don't give a # about you, go the # away .

Fake being, inside of my heart you are the liar.
Innocence displaced.
Been left.

Here I stand now and I'm alone,
With no one to comfort me.
One set of footprints in the sand.
No one to take my hand, I'll .
I'll walk through as long as I need.
I'll drift through my life though I'm alone.
Outgrown the cradle that once housed me
And I've found that all I need is
Me.

Found I've never needed you to push through
All the # that stacks up inside of my life.
Endless plight that circulates through my body.
I'll keep stumbling, beating, pummeling
Teething on the rind and renounce my being.

I can't see going on.

I can't see
I'm so tired, of trying to mend the wounds of all my suffering.
What do I do now?
All I'm asking from you please,
Send me a sign
To guide me through the times that lie in front of me.
I'll get by myself

I can't see going on # it.

That's like, 4 double posts!

Did you go crazy with the Post button?



Wow, that's actually happened to me before.
I recommend you edit the extra ones and just add "extra post" or something, because it took me FOREVER to scroll through.

Don't Matter,

Afterglow by Genesis

Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But i, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now Ive lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now Ive lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.

What I've Done


Linkin Park

Its Cool, We Can Still Be Friends by Bright Eyes.
Actually, quite a few Bright Eyes songs are really sad.

Sad song?
Has to be komm Susser tod or "Come sweet death" from the hit anime show Neon Genisis Evangelion, its basically an apology and admitting that without love you are nothing. Its a very good anime and I suggest people watch it to really apreciate the song, but its good none the less.
en.wikipedia.org...

Damn everyone's got good tastes all the classics are already done so i'll post these two:


Rufus Wainwright: Art Teacher

Immortal Technique: You Never Know

Persephone Wishbone Ash
********* ************

My No:1 all time favourite is this under rated track which I happen to believe is the saddest song ever composed. The raw emotion and sorrowfull guitar lifts the whole song into a league of its own.

I've got a few that people may or may not have heard of..

1.(Listening to it right now) Wake up-MadSeason
2.I won't ever be happy again-Bright Eyes
3.It's cool, we can still be friends-Bright eyes
4.Mexico-Incubus
5.Hurt-Johnny Cash(Of course)
6.Nutshell-Alice in Chains
7.Where did you sleep last night- Nirvana


These are really good songs, and I encourage those of you who took the time to listen to them.. And tell me what you think, that would be cool.

2Pac - Fame,
Wu-Tang Clan - Babies,
Wu-Tang Clan - Iron Flag...

"Lay Down Burden" by Brian Wilson. He wrote it for his brother Carl, who was fighting a losing battle with cancer. It's heartbreaking.

On a more mundane, romantic-longing level, "Caroline, No" gets my vote. Also by Brian Wilson, it closes out The Beach Boys' classic Pet Sounds album. It's staggeringly beautiful and sadder than all get-out.

I guess you could call me a Brian Wilson fan...

Baack

Sad song that makes me think: "Learning to Fly", Pink Floyd.

..."and After-Death"...

Oh, I forgot to mention my all-time favorite -style song: Road To Zion - Damian Marley...
