The Saddest Song Ever

[AliceAxe]

Fates Warning 'Paralells' has got to be one of the saddest albums I've ever heard , from beginning to end. One of the greatest too.




the final track probably one of the saddest

 

[Warchest1]

Off the top of my head, is definately the acoustic version of Stillborn by BLS. If you can find an mp3 download it asap, almost makes me wanna tear up when I listen to it. Love it though

 

[Antimatter]

Hip Hop up in this mother.



D:

 

[ittoa666]

Moonlight Sonata is the saddest song ever.

 

[7stringless]

I'd have to say NIN Hurt.........The man in black does a good job as well.

 

[Origin]

Only song I've listened to that ever legitimately made me wanna kill myself. I was sad about something unrelated and it still did it

 

[Guitarman700]

Nevermore-The heart Collector

 

[TheSleeper]

This thread needs more Pain of Salvation!


Sisters


Of Dust


Dedication



And a recent discovery: Demians - Black Over Gold




I could list dosens of other songs by PoS, as well as Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Faith No More (Jizzlobber always gets me), Devin Townsend (oh, that voice!) and more, but it's been done, and frankly, I'm too tired to come up with something original.

Brad Paisley - Whiskey lullaby

I almost posted this, but I went ahead and checked to see if someone did. I figured, surely, this is quite possibly the saddest song I've ever heard. Back when it first came out, I heard it, cried, and blocked it out from my memory, avoiding it like the plague. I went to see Brad on Saturday, and that sadistic bastard played that song. I wept then, just like I do anytime I hear it. The video for Waitin on a Woman kinda does it to me cause ol' Andy Griffith looks just like my grandfather.

EDIT: I hadn't seen the video for Whiskey Lullaby before, and I knew that was going to be a huge mistake. That ushered in the greatest amount of sadness I've felt in a very, very long time.

and I'll add.

[Threex4]

Space dye vest and Dance with the devil leave me feeling wrecked.

 

[Mexi]

saddest songs are probably samuel barber's adagio for strings and luciano pavarotti's rendition of nessun dorma

 

[thefpb2]

"maybe in another lifetime, i can be the first the first one you meet"

NIN "hurt" is also pretty damn sad

great choice

 

[Scar Symmetry]

This piece connects with me on an emotional level that I don't understand.

 

[Rotatous]

 

[ziggurat]

Not exactly sad, but I find it to be emotionally invigorating in an ineffable way.

intro and at around past 3:00

 

[guitareben]

Not sure why it has doctor who on it XD

Or the remix



I love both. There is something just really emotional and sad about this song . Don't know what it is, it just is.

 

[NovaReaper]

- pitch shifted it for the lulz, but the transition from the melodic leads into the freeform atonal playing and how they don't resolve it gives me an empty feeling every time I hear it. ;_;

- lol
