Title: Saddest song you've ever heard?
Post by: jag66 on October 10, 2011, 03:02:08 PM: What's the saddest song you've ever listened to?

Not sure anything can beat Johnny Cash's version of Hurt for me, particularly when watching the video :'(

Heartattack in a Lay By is the only correct answer.

Very good answer. I'd have to give it to a song from the same album; Collapse the Light into Earth.

or maybe something from Brand New: Jesus Christ, The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot, or maybe Handcuffs.

or Don't Hate Me.

Also...
The Pineapple Thief - Who Will Light Up Your Eyes? and November.

Post by: Sintheros on October 10, 2011, 03:44:38 PM: Either Heartattack in a Layby or Don't Hate Me. Layby in a "oh wow that's so sad!" sense and Don't Hate Me in an "oh wow you're so pathetic its sad!" sense. Both incredible songs as well.

Title: Re: Saddest song you've ever heard?
Post by: Dittomist on October 10, 2011, 04:40:19 PM: Heart Attack in a Layby is a great choice.
Here are some others I immediately thought of:
The Cure- The Same Deep Water As You
The Gathering-Waking Hour
Queensryche- Out of Mind
Slowdive- Country Rain
The Smiths- I Know It's Over
Renaissance- Cold Is Being
Travis- Luv
Type O Negative- Red Water (Christmas Mourning)
The Carpenters- Ordinary Fool

Updated to include Radiohead's How to Disappear Completely, My Dying Bride's For My Fallen Angel, and Dream Theater's Goodnight Kiss & Disappear
Title: Re: Saddest song you've ever heard?
Post by: Ravenheart on October 10, 2011, 04:48:31 PM: Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
The Cure - Disintegration
Gary Numan - The Seed of a Lie
Anathema - One Last Goodbye
The Smiths - I Know It's Over
The Smashing Pumpkins - Crestfallen
Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses (A Death in the Family)
Tori Amos - Winter
Porcupine Tree - Heartattack in a Layby
Bright Eyes - Waste of Paint

Those are just a few. Most of the music I listen to is sad/dark.

I Don't Love by Have a Nice Life has to be one of them. Every time I put it on, everything just feels so... futile. It is a horrible feeling and I love it to death.

This is not a definite answer, but for some reason it was the first one that came into my head.

Yeah this song is pretty sad, and just helps to solidify Kevin's genius . . . Also like a few other people are saying, Heart attack In a Layby is another candidate.

#3 seems kind of happy and nostalgic to me, like remembering good times, while #1 just seems like full-on regret.

The untitleds can be a lot of things... None of them really shout out sadness to me. Expect for #3 but it's because I remember what I used to relate it with. So it's very personal. (it always is of course, but you see what I'm getting at)

Post by: InfraredDream on October 12, 2011, 01:57:06 AM: WOW, a lot of great replies.

The saddest songs for me are usually the ones I can strongly relate to. So I am totally not able to explain why one of the most heartbreaking ones for me is a song that has no personal relation to be. But it hurts a lot anyways.

Oh wow, I've neglected that one for too long. Don't know if I can handle it now.

Bjork has some really 'low' tunes too.
Or no-man, I mean Mixtaped, or The Things I Want To Tell You, are just heart-wrenching.

But for me Sigur Ros' All Alright wins it.

Sia's Breathe Me, mostly because I associate it with the end of Six Feet Under. :P

I did cry watching this... just awesome, great series finale

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzwm_y0sqKc

There's a lipstick sunset
Smeared across the August sky
There's a bitter sweet perfume
Hanging in the fields
The creek is running high

And I left my lover waiting
In the dawn somewhere to wonder why
By the end of the day
All her sweet dreams would fade
To a lipstick sunset

Post by: ddtonfire on October 17, 2011, 08:19:12 PM: Saddest piece of music: Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 7 - ii. Adagio

Saddest song: Dream Theater - Disappear

Both those pieces have had the greatest emotional impact on me.

Post by: Buddyhunter1 on October 19, 2011, 08:47:23 PM: Pretty much anything by Porcupine Tree :lol

It's pretty hard to decide between Stop Swimming, Heartattack In A Layby, and Sentimental. All three are extremely depressing in their own way lyrically, and they all very sad musically. Stop Swimming is extremely bleak, Heartattack is just stupidly sad (Okay, so theres this man dying in his car... and he doesn't know he's dying... and his family is waiting for him... and he thinks things are about to start getting better...) and Sentimental (along with the rest of the FoaBP album) is the most relatable for me.

Honorable mention: Isolation Years and Ending Credits by Opeth

Post by: SeventhSon on October 19, 2011, 09:53:14 PM: John Lennon's 'Mother' gets to me every damn time. It's right when he was going through the primal scream therapy and this song is very representative of it. The end where he's howling "Mama don't go...Daddy come home" is heart-wrenching, dealing with the death of his mom and his dad abandoning the family when he was little. It's a very emotionally strong song, and I never come out of listening to it in a better mood than when I started listening to it.
