Which songs do you listen to when you feel sad?
Isn't it weird how when you feel a bit down and people say "don't listen to sad songs, it'll only make you worse". True,I guess- but sometimes I wanna listen to sad songs!
When I was a teenager I used to listen to Damien Rice- The Blowers Daughter on repeat and cry my eyes out. At the moment, I'm partial to a bit of Lana Del Ray.
Which songs do you listen to when you feel low?
Coldplay. A few other bands that I can't think of right now. But they're sad
Hank Williams... Almost any of it.
I don't cry much, but Tori Amos is always good for the sads. I also really enjoy Lana del Rey a lot for sad songs.

Plenty; but off the top of my head... this piano version of this song that appeared in a Japanese drama that made me cry nearly every episode.
Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight and Hot Water Music - Bleeder are two regular fixtures.
Moving this to the Lounge, which is where we put music discussion
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
And also All Good Things (Come to an End) - Nelly Furtado and pretty much anything by Jose Gonzalez. I listen to Blower's Daughter when I'm sad as well but also when I'm happy because it's just a great song.
"Jealous Guy" by John Lennon, for some reason, even though the lyrics aren't particularly sad.
I like Kung-Fu.
This always get me:
I'll listen to any song that really hits me hard. For example, Bones, by the Young Guns, has a line that goes "I've seen down the end of the road, I deal in a different story, oh, I'll never let go again!", and, after having a history of suicidal thoughts and "overcoming" them, hearing those lyrics hit me like a truck.
Piano Music also always really makes me emotional: Isaac Shepard, for example. Leaves in the Wind, Gentle, Before Dawn, and Letting Go are all beautiful piano pieces that I use to listen to all the time when I was sad.
Time After Time is appropriate for all occasions and emotions.
