Recommand me some sad songs.

lux.sh · 11-14-2006, 03:43 AM

I usually listen to gay korean songs so I don't know much about american songs.

I recently got into Mario Vazquez's song called Gallery and I totally fell in love with it.
Can someone recommand me some sad songs? It can be real slow or fast, whatever.
something I can listen to throughout the night with couple of drinks.

thanks in advance.

Knock you by Blackstreet

Ninjaneer · 11-14-2006, 09:37 AM

You need to cheer up :P Your post sounds sad

I mostly listen to rock, but I got a few below that aren't... these might not all be "sad songs" but check 'em out:

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance (pay attention to the lyrics)
The Cult - Painted On My Heart (from the Gone in 60 Seconds movie soundtrack)
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss
Jon Bon Jovi - Always
Jon Secada - If You Go
Jon Secada - Just Another Day
Kelly Clarkson - Because of You
Kelly Clarkson - Behind These Hazel Eyes
Mariah Carey - Without You
Avril Lavigne - Losing Grip
Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending
Breaking Benjamin - Breath (not totally sad, but powerful)
Papa Roach - Scars
Evanescence - Missing
Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Relient K - Which To Bury, Us Or The Hatchet?
Smile Empty Soul - Finding Myself
Smile Empty Soul - Silhouettes
Staind - Outside
Skillet - Open Wounds
Urge Overkill - Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon (not really sad, but it's slow)

Linkin Park - I like all their songs, and I can't say they're all "sad," might not be what you're looking for if you don't like their style, but here are some suggestions off their early album:

Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away
Linkin Park - In The End (very popular)
Linkin Park - By Myself

You'd probably find stuff by Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Nick Lachey's What's Left of Me album (Jessica Simpson's ex, used to be a member of 98 Degrees)

jerrygarcia · 11-14-2006, 11:50 AM

look up nick drake, good slow sad acoustic tunes.

Zargon · 11-14-2006, 11:59 AM

Most songs by Elliot Smith. The poor guy had some serious mental problems and ended up stabbing himself in the heart a few years ago.

wow! ninjaneer almost got em all!

ummm, u might also want to consider:
- alter bridge: in loving memory
- within temptations: memories
- evanescence: hello

"The Luckiest" - by Ben Folds

NFS · 11-14-2006, 01:15 PM

WARNING - these are SERIOUSLY sad songs.

"the first time ever I saw your face" - Johnny Cash - American IV
When you listen to this version you know immediately that this is a funeral tribute. The person he is singing about is dead.

"hurt" - Johnny Cash - same album (or Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral)

The nine inch nails version is just nihilistic. Johnny Cash's version is possibly the most moving song in history.

"something I can never have" - Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine.

This is the most stripped back angry and despairing song I think I have ever heard.

"i'm free from the chain gang now" - Johnny Cash - American V

Cash knew he only had a few weeks to live when he recorded this. It's obvious he is singing about his imminent death.

"exit music for a film" - Radiohead - OK Computer

This is the music from the recent film version of Romeo and Juliet. It's about love lost, suicide, anger and death.

Tom Traubarts Blues - Tom Waits - The Asylum Years

Waltzing matilda for a wasted life.

Ninjaneer · 11-14-2006, 02:00 PM

I'm gonna have to sample some of those just to see how sad "sad songs" can get... I hope I don't

haha

just4kickz · 11-14-2006, 02:18 PM

Kanye sings sad songs? I guess I got the wrong impression from his Gold Digger song.

George Bush doesn't care about E90Post

Beautiful - James Blount

Do not listen to all the songs I posted in the same session.

If you do - you WILL need to go out and get drunk to cheer yourself up.

What should I do if I don't drink?

I wonder if lux.sh checked this thread, he didn't post a reply!

lux.sh · 11-16-2006, 08:52 AM
