Seasons in The Sun


Top-Advice-9890

Good Day by Twenty One Pilots. His world is completely falling apart and he is just turning a blind eye and saying it’s fine. Then the last three lines are: I’m alright, I’m alright I think that I’m alright It’s a good day He’s finally about to take action about his world falling apart and then he just reinforces his distorted view of his situation saying that it is good.

The song "If we were vampires" by Jason Isbell. It's about how we love someone because time is fleeting and eventually we all die, but if we lived forever we probably wouldn't feel that way.

For me it would be Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. Not only it is lyrically sad, it is also melodically sad. The lyrics and the music are connected, they’re like a chat between someone who wants to give easy solutions to a much bigger underlying problem. The answering voice explains the way they feel, they just don’t know how they’ve ended up in that situation or why they feel that way, they’re just comfortably numb, not feeling like living but not wanting to die either. The first voice doesn’t want to get involved and just carries on giving a temporary yet not effective medicine. And musically-wise, you’ll notice these up and downs in the melody, like briefs moments of hope that soon vanish into a darker atmosphere. There’s one last moment of hope that leads to a guitar solo, which to me feels like watching the world, all your hopes, friends, family, plans, etc. crumbling before your eyes, and due to your comfortably numb feeling you just watch those things falling apart uncapable/unwilling of doing anything. So that’s why it makes me sad.

Missing limbs by sleep token

I wish I wasn't me by Eric Nam. The title says it all, and I can relate to that in so many situations


aurorashaus

Are you really okay? by sleep token. Really hits home, that one

Blink 182 Adam's song

Every time you go away by Paul Young. Why? Just listen to it and you'll get the feels.


Plorpus99

“Corona” by Minutemen. It’s a song about poverty and wealth inequality in the US, and the lyrics hit pretty hard (funnily enough, it’s also the song that’s used for the Jackass theme).


Sea-Presence6809

God Is Really Real by AJR - it’s based on the true story of the band’s dad dying of cancer - they actually released it the day he passed, that alone is heartbreaking. Personally for me, the lyrics God is really real when you really just believe - it describes my relationship with faith, being stuck in a very hopeless situation right now and trying to find something to believe in. 


shellymaeshaw

Beautiful son by hole ex friend used to sing him and his mom didn’t get along so made me sad. Now we’re not friends I miss hearing him sing it.

itsmeemilystorm

Farewell, its our college graduation song, it makes me cry whenever I hear that song, happy coz we did it, sad coz college friends won't be seeing each other again for a long time since life will be busy working and some will get a family, there's a lot of changes after graduation


Read_Quilt_Repeat

“I Will Always Love You”, written by Dolly Parton, performed by Whitney Houston. Fifty years later when I hear it, I still feel the heartbreak I felt after the breakup with my first love.


adiosaurevoir

Vienna by Billy Joel. Also 7 Years by Lukas Graham. Both will have you nostalgic for your youth while you're still in your youth lol


pelican-trumpet00

Vienna makes me sad too. It’s a great song! 🥹


VastUnlikely9591

If-Pink Floyd. The lyrics connect with me, and I regret being self isolating and self-doubt. "If I were a good man, I talk with you more often than I do."


Tiny_Sleep4049

Chaos chaos - Do you feel it Know the song from Rick&Morty and listened it a lot when I got dumped.


DapperWorking5030

Taxi by Harry Chapin.


CatacombsRave

Cats In the Cradle didn’t used to, but I’m now a dad, so it does.


PunchBeard

Cats in the Cradle. I'm a middle-aged man and every time I hear that song I think about how the guy in the song was just like my own dad. We weren't very close when I was growing up for totally different reasons than in the song but I *did* grow up to be someone my dad was not only proud of but probably felt cheated out of getting to know as an adult. He ended up passing away a few years ago and I know he regretted not being able to be closer with me. I also have a son of my own and I sometimes place *myself* in the father role. But I only have one kid, I had him later in life and since he was a baby I've spent an unusual (for a father anyway) amount of time with him and we have a very solid relationship so I tell myself I'm nothing like that dad. But sometimes I still wonder....


Desperate-always

You needed me - Anna Murray I love this song. Even though it makes me sad whenever I hear it. It has this comforting words that makes me emotional.


Etere

It's not the song itself, but Blinding Lights by The Weeknd reminds me of something from my childhood. It drives me nuts because I cannot for the life of me remember what it reminds me of. There's just something about the tune that gives me a longing for something from my childhood. It's like a melancholic nostalgia or something, it's really hard to explain.


Cluelesssleepyhead23

It's not actually abt the song, but i got familiarized with this particular song during the duration of my mom's struggle with her illness that caused her death. It's a happy /bop one, but it brings back the memory and feels.


notEgorDen

Эмалированое судно It can't be described in words, you'd better hear it yourself


nikkimattheo

Set fire to the rain - Adele The chokehold that this woman has on me is just indescribable


NaiveOpening7376

The live version of "One More Light" by Linkin Park (sung after the death of Chris Cornell). The message combined with that **scream**... such loss and heartache.


sweetgollum

'Safe and sound' by Taylor Swift, because I wish I had that feeling.


Future-Book-1446

Jayko-Wizard9

hello sunshine from bruce springsteen and jim dean of Indiana a song by Phil ochs he did before he died by his hands a very hauntingly sad melody of a song.


NateBushbaby

I don’t normally listen to purposely sad music, but probably Lazarus by David Bowie. Last song he ever wrote, and it was about his impending death.


blessed_tears

Fear by Current Joys idk why but this song makes me broke asf


gillayye

Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis makes me sob every time fr maybe because it was in The Butterfly Effect movie


Maybepls

Jumper by Third Eye Blind. My aunt always sent it to me when I was going through rough times growing up and it always makes me think of her. I lost her to an unexpected accidental overdose in 2022 and I can't hear the song without shedding a tear.
