Sad songs
Our dear Noctiluca is growing sick of being depressed most of the time, now he wants to be depressed all of the time. This means that every time he starts getting all warm inside or when he gets his paycheck, he needs a sad song to bring him back down to a safe level. He needs your help, ladies and gentlefellows!
What are some of your favourite sad songs, or just songs that make you the most sad?
:sad:
What the smurf!
I do like sad songs though.
Such as Paper Bag

Poor Noctiluca.
RHCP's Under the Bridge is always a good, mellow song.
Untitled 1/Vaka - Sigur Ros
Nightswimming - R.E.M.
How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead
I See A Darkness - Bonnie Prince Billy
Hope There's Someone - Antony and the Johnsons
Highway Patrolman - Bruce Springsteen
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Most of the songs from Antony and the Johnsons' first two albums are sad songs, and they're all very beautiful.
Try giving a listen to "Cripple and the Starfish" and "Man is the Baby", just for examples.
Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy is kind of HARTWRENCHING ;; for me
Also Teardrop and Live with Me but really as much.
Oh also Portishead Roads
slower songs:
Damien Rice - 9 Crimes
Radiohead - Street Spirit (fade out)
Brand New - Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't
AFI - The Leaving Song (pt 1)
Beatles - A Day in the Life
Decembrists - Eli the Barrowboy
Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)
Billy Talent - Nothing to Lose
Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (pretty much the whole album ;oooo)
faster songs:
Above and Beyond - Alone Tonight
Billy Talent - Living in the Shadows
Jimmy Eat World - Get it Faster
The Trews - Ishmael & Maggie
AFI - But Home is Nowhere. . . (more so the hidden tracks)
System of a Down - Metro
The Calling - Things Don't Always Turn Out That Way
Default - All She Wrote
HIM - Resurrection
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
AFI - Silver and Cold
Elliott Smith - Bottle up and Explode!
Hale - Broken Sonnet
(I have some of them tagged by intensity vs. sadness so this was an easy maneuver)
Moon by Yoko Kanno.
It's beautiful. Sung in a language the composer (Yoko Kanno) made up herself. It's...beautiful.
Cliff Martinez - Will She Come Back?
Mogwai - I know you are, but what am I?
Clint Mansell - The Last Man
Alexandre Desplat - The End of Love
Erik Satie - Grosienne no 1
Is there any depressing lolicore?

i love that song its a good mellow one. Also youth of a nation kinda seems sad to me but it more makes you feel bad for kids that get bullyed and such in school. and shooting star is a good one
oh yeah:
Maroon 5 - Will She Be Loved
or maybe it only makes me sad
A good many songs on the Wish album by The Cure manage to be pretty sad/depressing. To name a few: Apart, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, Trust, A Letter to Elise, and To Wish Impossible Things.
Praying for Time by George Michael
Heaven is Not Enough by Yoko Kanno
Blue by Yoko Kanno
Hurenzu by Yoko Kanno
I had more and some links but when I tried to reply the site decided I needed to sign in again and I lost my post.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Fixed. That person also has 'Escape' as 'Esukeipu'. Gah.
She knows what's up! Fixed, though (lol in-jokes). There are like 6 versions of the song, vocalized or otherwise. They are all fantastic. Origa performed it during the live concert. I'm willing to bet that you haven't even seen Turn A Gundam, but that just shows how good the music is.
I could poke through my collection another time, *maybe*, but off the top of my head 'Arcadia' from Escaflowne (also by Yoko Kanno) is another relative downer of a song.
Something else that comes to mind is 'Elegy' from Dragon Quest IV by Koichi Sugiyama (first part of this performance, before it switches to the other song @ 2:50) (8 bit version)
If you are interested, do try to find 'better than YouTube quality' versions of these songs. It kind of breaks my heart to share these in this manner, but it is the easiest way to do it.
