Sad songs
« on: January 06, 2011, 09:30:40 PM »
I'm in a pretty gloomy mood and I feel like letting it all out.  For some reason, letting it out while listening to sad music is somehow pleasurable...two negatives make a positive I guess?

Well anyway can anyone recommend me some songs, preferably about unrequited love?

Use these songs as a "template":

Dream Theater- Space-Dye Vest
Neal Morse- Somber Days
Nsync - Tearing Up My Heart
"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A. G. Sertillanges

I have to suggest Korn - Daddy. Jonathan Davis breaks down and cries for a full 4 minutes or so at the end of the song. True, unrestrained emotion.

Opeth - The Night and the Silent Water
Shinedown - 45 (depending on the context you take it in, I suppose)
Tool - H.
Serenity - Fairytales
The Flower Kings - Selfconsuming Fire

The majority of Novembre's discography is pretty sad as well. Mostly due to the gloomy atmosphere they go for.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

Saw Which One's Pink? play it last night and I was reminded of how sad it is
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
