Part 2 isn't really sad, it's just an awesome song

Sad and beautiful. One of the greatest album closers I've heard, as well:


And it's not 'sad' in the usual sense, but one of the most powerful and terrifying pieces of music I've ever heard:

Death Cab Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark Video

enough said, if you can watch either of these videos and not become sad or emotional or even shed a tear, your souless!!!

 

[Origin]

'Once' by Karma. It's the song that Lil Wayne stole from because he's a douche. But find the original.

It's the only song that's ever pushed me to the brink.

This one's even sadder if you've seen the episode of Angel it's taken from...

If nobody's said it, Tears In Heaven-Eric Clapton. ESPECIALLY if you know the story behind it. Basically, his 5-year old son fell out of a window (I think it was), and got killed

I can't believe no one mentioned Green Fields of France yet. Preferably the Dropkick Murphys version. Makes me want to cry every time I hear it... but damn I love that song.

 

[HeartCollector]

Riff is so doomy and sad. I hate it yet love it.

Dude. That whole album is so fucked up.

Fuck.

Reading this thread really gives you a good idea as to how diverse the members of this forum are.

Agreed.

For me it has been and is the following:
Take Away My Pain by Dream Theater
A Trace of Blood by Pain of Salvation

 

[nicholas7]

How about some blues.
Life without you - SRV

The solo is what gets me.

Just saw this thread as Hurt by Johnny Cash came on my ipod, I fcuking love NIN and remember thinking what the fcuk Cash doing one the best most painful songs Trent ever wrote, but his version is incredible.... Beautiful and sad.... "what have I become, my sweetest friend... everyone I know goes away in the end...."

Watch Over You

Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love

I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

Who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?

You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone
And not yourself?

And when I'm gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?

I can't go on
And let you lose it all
It's more than I can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain

Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
Who'll watch over you?
Who will give you strength when you're not strong.
Who'll watch over you when I've gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winters come
You long to hear my voice
But I'm long gone

And it's not 'sad' in the usual sense, but one of the most powerful and terrifying pieces of music I've ever heard:

Truthiness. Shit sends shivers down my spine.

 

[thedonutman]

The original is less sad but this cover is really rather sad, especially when that car drives past.
