What is the saddest song ever?

[wb]

I love songs and poems that are sad, and about unrequited love and stuff like that for some reason. Especially ones which strikes a chord with you. We were talking about this in the pub, and trying to figure out the saddest song of all time.

a few sad songs that I like:

The streets - dry your eyes
Bobby goldsboro - honey
Roy orbison - only the lonely
James blunt - Goodbye my lover
Jim Reeves/Elvis/Various - There goes my everything


but my fav. has to be Roy Orbison's beuatiful dreams :)

What is the saddest song?

[mathare]

That James Blunt song makes me want to strangle him

[vegyjones]

Luther Vandross - Dance With MyFather!

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Who wants to live forever - Queen (but you have to have watched Highlander).

[bigcumba]

I;d certainly agree with the Roy Orbison tracks, he had the perfect voice for that sort of song.... Oldham's Queen suggestion is a good one too... as is another Queen song which became more poignant with Freddie's passing - "Too Much Love Will Kill You". If you read the lyrics on the last couple of Queen albums there are quite a few songs that are obviously very personal from Freddie...

Another sad one that I;m sure especially gets John Noakes in tears... Old Shep... :wink

[MattR]

Agadoo...... oh sorry THAT kind of sad. :D


There are many I guess. One that most may have not heard before is called Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel by The Barenaked Ladies. All about dying in a car crash from the persons view.

[Street cry]

Coldplay shiver

[thai-swe]

The national anthem of Sweden :D

[John]

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You
(but I love it)

[bigcumba]

A Deep Purple song called "When A Blind Man Cries" is another sad one... a surprising ballad from them, stuck on the 'B' side of a single in 1972, they now do it live regularly.. lyrics below



If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure

I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord you know
There ain't no sadder tale

Had a friend once in a room
Had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do

I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord you know
He feels it from his soul

[wb]

Hi big C, you don't happen to have that song on file do you?

[bigcumba]

Not right now but I can get it for you pretty quickly... it's one of my favourite Purple songs, Gillan sings it beautifully, and Blackmore plays some incredible understated blues guitar through it.... I'll let you know by PM when I have it ready :)

[corkill10]

an album by Robert Wyatt called " Rock Bottom" written and recorded shortly after an accident that left him paraplegic......its a hard listen but very moving.

[sparkyminer]

Sometimes you can't make it on your own. U2.

[sparkyminer]

I can feel the neg rep coming but hey:D


but very moving.
Unlike him.:)

[bigcumba]

Hi big C, you don't happen to have that song on file do you?

Just PM'd the link to you Wayne :)

[wb]

Good stuff, Thanks Big man

[MarcusMel]

Cyndi Lauper - Sally's Pegions.

I cry almost every time I hear this song.

[scaaty]

Very difficult to choose .... but the first one that comes to mind is another Sinead O'Connor one, Thank You For Hearing Me. Amazing voice, brilliant song but just oozes raw pain.

Also, Suzanne Vega - Luka
The Stones - Love in Vain ( tho' I prefer the original Robert Johnson
version)
Beatles - Eleanor Rigby
Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Any More
Gary Jules - Mad World

[mazzy_g]

Agree with tow suggestions,
U2 - Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Luther Vandros - Dance With My Father


But another one i think is sad that i'm surprised no1 has mentioned is... REM - Everybody Hurts?!?!

[mathare]

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To You
(but I love it)Hunt down the Prince (original) version of this song John and see what you think

[piggy]

youve all missed the most obvious ones
patches and billy don't be a hero:peeky

[Fadetoblack]

Bruce Springstein - Secret Garden
Tom Waits - Martha
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Damien Rice - Blowers Daughter

I'm

[bigcumba]

Blimey Wayne, that's going back a bit! In that vein... 'Tell Laura I Love Her'

I'm only surprised no one has mentioned Teddy Bear, or Little Joe by Red Sovine

[samantha1303]

That is such an excellent song Big C
Tell Laura not to cry my love for her will never die.

[Fadetoblack]

i sang that song in a karaoke about 8 years ago. Great song to sing...

Especially the "bum bum bum bum" bits...

[bigcumba]

especially the "bum bum bum bum" bits...

It's definietely one of those karaoke classics!

[samantha1303]

A pint in one hand the mike in the other, blubbering in your beer while you are singing the wrong words :D

[MattR]

A pint in one hand the mike in the other, blubbering in your beer while you are singing the wrong words :D

And quite possibly to the wrong tune! :D

Cheers Mat, will do. :wink

[jonahjones]

Nick Berry - Every Loser Wins. :)

[wb]

Another Roy Orbison one.
I was just listening on the radio to the story behind Roy Orbison's ".....everything you want, you got it..." song. Although it appears to be an upbeat song about how much he likes her, it actually bordered on being obsessed with her. He was treated really badly by her apparently, but he was saying that he would still do anything for her no matter what. He was consumed by her, and therfore helpless to how she treated him. He was totally defeated and realised it, so he just said he would more or less do anything she wants. Thought that was a bit sad.

[bigcumba]

That's a great song Wayne, from a brilliant comeback album... sadly his last before he died.... but what a voice!

[davefretwell]

Lasio Ch'io Pianga (Let Me Weep) G F Handel. Beautiful song sung by Leslie Garrett/Charlotte Church (Voice of an Angel days).

The theme tune to Prisoner Cell Block H. :)

The theme tune to Prisoner Cell Block H. :)

Ha Ha yeah, I used to watch that. I would be falling asleep in school on the monday morning after staying up late watching it....

"He used to give me roses... I wish he could again..."

[jonahjones]

Ha Ha yeah, I used to watch that. I would be falling asleep in school on the monday morning after staying up late watching it....

"He used to give me roses... I wish he could again..."

Used to do the same myself Wayne, wouldn't miss an episode. :D

The "B" side was quite sad as well. They used to use it as incidental music whenever an emotional moment was occurring. :wink

Talking of sad, the admission that there was a "B" side to the song puts me in the frame as having bought the record!

Guilty as charged. I'll get me coat. :)

Another great one:

[bigcumba]

Not particularly a sad song in itself but combined with the footage at Live Aid.... The Cars - Drive.

[podtog]

Just had a look through the thread to see if anyone had chosen my favorite and Oldham beat me to it with "Forever Autumn". You cant beat listening to War of the Worlds on a cold and grey Wintery Sunday afternoon.

[podtog]

Especially if youve just got back home from a morning of stalking some old whiley Chub on the river. Sorry, minds wondering now :rolleyes: .

[Ruby]

Two sad songs for me today...
Dusty Springfield, "I just don't know what to do with myself"

Only 3 stars though... would have been a 5 star classic but that's what happens when you bring that whiny git James Blunt into it (Sam) :wink

[samantha1303]

I think he's superb :pk1

[Fadetoblack]

I hate him.:mady

[bigcumba]

I hate him more than that :D (Sorry Sam - every time I hear him I'm reminded of chalk screeching down a blackboard)

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions might change your opinion slightly (OK - but not by much!). The unplugged rendition of You're Beautiful is actually one of my fave tracks now!

[samantha1303]

I have seen him live 4 times and he is excellent.
However I am not sure he can follow up such a fantastic album.

[Street cry]

It certainly is :)

[samantha1303]

Todays choice for me -
Rolling Stones - Fool To Cry

Some classic songs mentioned here especially One by U2.

I was on the train home from Meadowhall today listening to the new Snow Patrol album. Chasing Cars got me all melancholic and weepy. What a song.

[wb]

Another Roy Orbison one: Mystery Girl

Some great lines in it:

Night falls i'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me

[bigcumba]

Another Roy Orbison one: Mystery Girl


Oh yeah, that whole album was a classic! The big 'O' had the perfect voice for sad songs.... "It's Over"... "Crying" etc... was really sad when he died so young, and just hitting the top again with his solo stuff and the Travelling Wilburys..

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Been a while since I nominated one, but when it's the record that reminds you there's a Sad Song thread, it deserves at least a mention!

So, today's offering is Silent All These Years - Tori Amos.

[bigcumba]

Elvis, Dont cry daddy!

Yeah that is a real tear jerker... I'd also add another classic song by the King - In The Ghetto.. even thinking about that one gives me goosebumps!

[wb]

I know some people think that elvis songs are overplayed (you can't get enough of the king if you ask me though!)
but if you listen to the lyrics of 'You were always on my mind' it really is a fantastic sad song. Willie Nelsons version is good too.

[Fadetoblack]

Alone Again (Naturally)

Gilbert O Sullivan. Listen to those words.

[Fadetoblack]

Or read them.


Artist: Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics
Song: Alone Again (Naturally) Lyrics


In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower,
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.
May as well go home."
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed,
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

(instrumental break)

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

[TheOldhamWhisper]

So, I'm sitting there, minding my own business and:

'I will be with you' by T'Pau

suddenly plays and I sit there blubbing like a baby.

Worth re-starting an old (but classic) thread. :)

[peza2605]

yeah ,i remember that one. used to like t'pau way back , had the LP with that on, broke up with girlfriend etc etc... every time i hear that tune it reminds me of that time. i dont cry though..........................now.

[counterfeit]

If I feel miserable and don't feel like cheering up then I listen to these:

Emma by the Sisters Of Mercy (original by Hot Chocolate which is a surprise as it is record about suicide).

The Things You Said by Depeche Mode (probably my favourite track of all time)

Victims by Culture Club (though I don't admit it to anybody I know :D)

What Makes a Man a Man by Marc Almond (probably even sadder if I was gay but hey, I can empathise).

[bigcumba]

Emma by the Sisters Of Mercy (original by Hot Chocolate which is a surprise as it is record about suicide).

That is a brilliant version of the song...

[vegyjones]

Since my brother-in-laws funeral where we played

Coldplay's The Scientist

It makes me emotional when I hear it.

Another recent song that is quite sad is the Johnny Cash version of Nine Inch Nails 'Hurt'

[Street cry]

beverly craven memories todays offering

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Quick weepie for weekend.

More Evanescence - Taken from The Open Door Album - Lithium. Even if you don't know what Lithium is used to treat, these lyrics have to be some of the most disturbing and sad ever written:



Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone;
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me...

Is anyone here old enough to remember Butch Moore's Irish eurovision entry in the 60s?

I love the line "Still, nobody knows that I'm crying... cos I'm walking the streets in the rain"

Great stuff, the likes of which we rarely see nowadays.

[scaaty]

That wasn't a song it was a disaster.
Ireland has such wonderful singers where on earth they found her and what posessed them to use that entry I will never know.

[peza2605]

maybe not the saddest song ever but "in love with a friend" by deep dish is one of those songs what mean something..

[piggy]

not really a sad song but i allways get a tear in my eye when i hear it minnie wipperton - loving you, probably because it was out around the time she died

[vegyjones]

I've posted it in the recommendation part before now, but Untitled Number 1 by Sigur Ros.

It is a very sad song accompanied by an even more sad video. Watch it on youtube.
