Sad Songs.

Cylob · 30th September 2003, 15:54

Sad songs anyone? The tunes you shouldn't really listen to before setting off for work.

Sparklehorse - Apple Bed

I could follow on now with 50 x Smiths tracks.

Triton4 · 30th September 2003, 16:21

Alphaville - Forever Young

That has to be the saddest song I've ever heard... but ironically, that is Alphaville's biggest hit to date.

Starbucks · 30th September 2003, 18:35

Blue Gender - Love Taught Me

Mental Mircacle · 30th September 2003, 19:18

radiohead - karma police

Cylob · 1st October 2003, 09:17

Aim - Sail. It's a happy kind of sad, but sad nonetheless.

NJK · 1st October 2003, 09:27

talk talk - such a shame - makes you think about how tiny we are

webthing · 1st October 2003, 12:38

SSgt. Barry Sadler USASF - Lullaby

NJK · 1st October 2003, 13:12

sorry webthing but i don't have any clue to who this guy is- also never heard the song- is it popular in the states?

caitcid · 1st October 2003, 13:31

*BOA* -Duvet

Then there are those background songs from the winnie the pooh show...they sound really depressing to me.

ShyShy · 2nd October 2003, 03:13

Garth Brooks: The Dance (still hard for me to listen to this song in it's entirity, went to a couple of funerals where this was played)

Taps: with echo bugglers (same reasoning as above)

Somewhere Over The Rainbow (the kid who's funeral I had gone to was only 13, and his choir director sang it at the service, changed the whole tone and meaning of hte song for me)

Cylob · 2nd October 2003, 17:41

Mega City Four - Storms to Come
The The - Soul Mining

I find sad songs reach the parts other songs cannot reach.

Starbucks · 4th October 2003, 18:17

Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven

sad song - lyle lovett-simple song

DJHotIce · 4th October 2003, 19:18

Mercy Me - I can only Imagine

That song was played at my friends funeral who died in a car crash! It's a christian CHR song that occaitionally is played on the Top 40 stations now, at the time it was only heard in church's

But I know he's in a better place now

NJK · 4th October 2003, 21:10

tracks played at funerals have a certain effect on people - i have the same with the eagles song - the last resort (hotel califonia album) its also a very sad song

ShyShy · 4th October 2003, 23:57

The Eagles: Desperado
The Black Crows: She Talks to Angels

The words don't have to be sad, the sound of the music is.

i know a song by the same guy called "Ballad of the Green Berets"

heres the lyrics:
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret.

Silver Wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret.

Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage picked from the Green Beret.

Silver Wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret.

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request.

Put Silver Wings on my son's chest
Make him one of America's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.

aside from that is the song "this time" by the smashing pumpkins. the first time i heard it was the day i broke up with my girlfriend. not fun

ShyShy · 5th October 2003, 02:06

And why is that whenever you have a "split" every sad song created just seems to play on the radio? Weird how that happens.

k_rock923 · 5th October 2003, 12:35

i know. and right after that song ended, the song "heaven" started playing. u know it goes like "i find it hard to believe . . .we're in heaven"

zootm · 5th October 2003, 14:33

nine inch nails - hurt
nine inch nails - something i can never have
madness - johnny the horse (subject matter, at least)
therapy? - god kicks
therapy? - six mile water

Cylob · 5th October 2003, 20:39

The Trammps - Disco Inferno

Such a sad song.

NJK · 5th October 2003, 20:47

sure you didn't mistake the s for a b in the meaning of bad song????????????????????????????????????

Cylob · 5th October 2003, 20:59

I've made a terrible mistake!! I must atone by being handcuffed and force-fed ice-cream by a young blonde.

ShyShy · 5th October 2003, 23:48

Will a brunette do? Heh, Cure's "Pictures of You".

Shenlong · 6th October 2003, 00:43

Megumi Hayashibara - Yakusoku
Aaron Lewis - Black (Pearl Jam cover)

Ok, so the last song is more depressing than sad, but since it's a break-up song, it reminded me of some damn good times cut short...

NJK · 6th October 2003, 08:54

been playing the ELO album "out of the blue" and on it is the perfect sad break up song

track#2 - it's over-

weedsatan · 6th October 2003, 18:27

Track 11 Brian O'Donnoll - Bad News

A little boy singing a really sad song..

The Big Andowski · 13th October 2003, 02:51

Radiohead is definately one of those bands...I think How to Disappear Completely and Street Spirit (Fade Out) are their saddest songs. Another one is Brad Nowell's (of Sublime) acoustic cover of Guava Jelly/This Train. Black is a good one (well depends on how you look at it)..Pearl Jam's or Aaron Lewis's cover. Pearl Jam's unplugged version is awesome.

sidd · 13th October 2003, 03:21

radiohead - motion picture soundtrack

Cylob · 13th October 2003, 08:42

Someone should take Radiohead by the scruff of the neck and say "stop being so fucking miserable"!!!! You have all that money!!!!

Cylob · 13th October 2003, 12:57

Underworld - Dirty Epic
Primal Scream - Stuka

Both tracks would sit well on the Trainspotting soundtrack. Drugs and destitution all-round.
