The Saddest Song Ever

[willyman101]

I've said this many times before, They Move on Never Ending Tracks Of Light by This Will Destroy You always gets me. Especially at that point in the album because it's all so emotional and that song is really the peak.
They're an amazing post rock band, I implore everyone to check them out.

One day "Floods" by Pantera honestly made me cry.

I've gotta say the outro to Floods can get me quite upset, especially when I think Dimebag is no longer with us and how we'll never hear any more of his music until our clock has run out.

Edit: willyman101, This Will Destroy You are awesome. My mate introduced me to them, he pointed out one of there songs is in the trailer for the remake of The Taking Of Pelham 123. I posted a song by Logh a few pages back, if you like TWDY, you'll like Logh. Shit, you probably already have their albums.

I might get shot down in flames for this one, but I find Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" to be really sad. I have no idea what it is about it, but there's definitely something there.

I can't believe that I'm about to post this...

It is sad..
It's fucking pathetic..

Seriously mate, sort it out.
That song is fucking awful

 

[caughtinamosh]

I have no idea what is wrong with me of late.

EDIT: Testament should've done more of these.

Until now I thought that song was about Lady Gaga's hermaphrodite grandfather.

Papa, Papa Roxy

Here's a real tearjerker, you gotta listen to it for a while until it gets to its saddest though.

For me: Iced Earth - I Died For You.

I seem to have a soft spot for Breaking Benjamin's "Evil Angel" Beautiful song, and great guitar tone to boot

Avril Lavigne - sk8tr B0i
Ashley Simpson - Pieces of Me
Lady Gaga - just about anything she does is magic becuase its all the same song
Jazon Mraz - Remedy
Kelly Osbourne - Shut UP!

these singers really touch my soul. They make me wither and cause me to cry in deep heaving sobs. Im glad they are hear to be the sound track to mediocrity and to remind me that the sound of shit plonking in the toilet is more musical than Ashley Simpson and Jazon Mraz combined.

[DaddleCecapitation]

Richie Kotzen - Remember

Damn, he's a great guitarist and singer!

 

[Harry]

Jeff Buckley - You and I
Jeff Buckley - Dream Brother

Both of these just make me weep like a baby with their intense emotional power.

Porcupine Tree - Heartattack in a Lay-By is the saddest thing i´ve heard in a looong time. the song itself is very sad-sounding, but then you listen to the lyrics, and suddenly it´s the saddest thing ever.

it´s basically about a guy driving home to his girlfriend/wife/lover at night to make up after some kind of argument. then he pulls off into a lay-by because he´s not feeling too good. just the hopefullness of the guy in the song, and how he doesn´t realize he´s not going to make it. it´s putting a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

okay, so SERIOUSLY. find the In Absentia album, put that song on, and listen to it. you have to.
