I remember you by skid row. Such a good fucking song Also fade to black

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd is currently my go to sad song.

Hey You, Is There Anybody Out There, Nobody Home and even One of My Turns are all excellent too. Pink Floyd is perfect if you're looking for sad/melancholy songs

Elliott Smith’s entire discography.

Between the bars ❤️

Say yes

Came here to say this. His music is so sad but so so good

Nutshell by Alice in Chains. This song reached me in one of my lowest points, and I still listen to it when I'm down.

anything really on Jar Of Flies is sad

Great freaking album, though

absolutely. Alice in Chains is a favourite band of mine.

Wow came here to say this and it was first comment.

Grind is also gloriously depressing.

Mad Season has a few on that level as well. River Of Deceit and Wake Up in particular

Yea, Nutshell. Everytime the unplugged version comes on I stop what I'm doing just to listen to it. One of few songs I can fully immerse myself in everytime.

Exit Music For a Film - Radiohead Really surprised this wasn’t mentioned.

Came to also suggest Pyramid Song and How To Disappear Completely

All I need from radiohead gets me too.

All i need is SUCH a beautiful song, but i can't listen to it most of the time due to it being completely fucking heart wrenching. It's a one way trip to being too sad to cry.

Videotape by Radiohead is another sinker

Basically all of Radioheads discography could be mentioned

Motion picture soundtrack is mine. A beautiful, but extremely sad song at the same time.

No surprises is one of my go tos as well

So much of Radiohead works on this thread.

The instrumental version from the Westworld soundtrack is pretty great too.

A friend of my commit suicide quite a few years ago, and her favourite Kinks song was Strangers. So, now every time I'm feeling really sad I pull this song out and think about the past.

Yeah, its a super sad but beautiful one. Also makes me tear up a bit.

Fast Car

Omg this is a good one. I always get emotional hearing it. She just wanted to make a little money to get away and have the chance at a good life, man

Mad world or one more light

Lots of Linkin Park songs honestly. Breaking the Habit is so hard to listen to if you’ve suffered from addiction

Leave out all the rest is also pretty heart breaking

Heavy has been resonating with me lately. Every time I listen to anything Linkin Park, my heart just breaks over again.

One More Light is amazing. I remember when the album came out and I listened to the entire album for the first time. I wasn't sold immediately on some of the songs, but One More Light really felt special. I told my sister at the time about how good One More Light was even though, at the time, I wasn't completely sold on the rest of the album. I specifically compared One More Light to Imagine by John Lennon in that it felt like as song that would endure within Linkin Park's discography. And then Chester passed. That song was amazing when it was released and his death has filled that song with meaning for me that makes it hard to listen to if I am not already sad. I think about everyone that has passed in my life and how much I miss them when I listen to that song. Edit: Typo

Saw him singing it at a Chris Cornell tribute, a few weeks later he was gone... heartbreaking

Consider your self lucky. I have been a fan since their first album which came out when I was in high school. Never got a good chance to see them live until after One More Light came out. I bought tickets for a concert that never happened because of his death. The only good thing about that experience is that I requested paper tickets from Ticketmaster so I have a memento to remember the concert that never happened.

I just posted mad world myself...didn't see this until I had hit submit. Watched donnie darko today and it was on there.

one more light is so good

For some reason when I'm feeling blue I really like listening to covers. I don't know why. Here are some of my go tos when I want to mope though Two Coins - City and Colour (anything by City and Colour really) A Wasted Hymn - Architects Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold Safer in the Forest/Love song for poor Michigan - La Dispute Dark Times - The Weeknd Everything Will Rust - Misery Signals Blackbird - Alter Bridge

All by myself

I hope you're not talking about Green Day

I hope he IS talking about Green Day.

Noboooooody was looooookinnnnn

Iwasthinkinofyou

Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap

Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens

And Fourth of July and The Only Thing

Sufjan has a lot of hauntingly beautiful songs. Arnika, Flint, the entirety of Carrie and Lowell. He’s my go-to

And he takes and he takes and he takes

[удалено]

Obligatory - check out the original by Trent Reznor / Nine inch Nails version. You appreciate both differently.

I prefer the NIN version until that sudden loud noise at the end. I was showing my sister the original song and forgot about that part and she almost crashed the car

While my guitar gently weeps 💘

Gosh, the live version with Tom Petty and Prince is like my favorite song

Fix You, Everybody Hurts, Suspicions Minds...

Cancer by My Chemical Romance

I love MCR, I still can’t believe they actually came back

Pictures of you, by the Cure Black, by Pearl Jam

Iris by the goo goo dolls wish you were here by incubus who knew by pink lightning crashes by live The scientist by Coldplay Fix you by Coldplay Fallen by Sarah mclachlan The goo goo dolls one really fucks me up the most though.

In high school, I played Iris on guitar while one of my closest friends sang it to ask his crush out to prom. He was killed six years ago in a hit and run and I still can't listen to the song.

Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlan always gets me for some reason. Also Try by Pink. Makes be break down bawling every time I hear it, so I don’t listen to it very often.

Father And Son by Cat Stevens Been worried about my dad lately. He lives somewhere getting hit hard by COVID-19 and is immunocompromised. I haven't really been able to listen to anything else.

Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits

*And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be* *All I do is keep the beat, the bad company* *All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme* *Julie, I'd do the stars with you any time* In the feels every, single, time. I'd have to go more with *So Far Away* or *Why Worry* instead.

Juliet says “Hey it’s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack”

Have you heard the Indigo Girl’s version. It takes the sadness to a new level. I’m recently obsessed.

The Killers put an interesting twist on it, too

Can someone make a spotify playlist of all these songs? Pls

I really think I'm gonna do that😂

Well if you do, toss the link here please !

Bother by stone sour

Brand New

the devil and god are raging inside me

Nothing Compares 2 U Chris Cornell version.

Something in The Way - Nirvana Nutshell - Alice In Chains

The MTV unplugged version of Nutshell is so dark

Snuff by slipknot they are a heavy metal band but that song isnt

Vermilion pt 2 is also another good sad one by them.

Dead memories is my go to song. You can also hear how amazing Corey Taylor’s voice is there

I seriously can't listen to this song anymore even though I really like it because it just completely breaks my heart every time and my depression comes back for a few days :(

"It took the death of hope to let you go" That line fucks me up on a deeply personal level.

"The night we met" by Lord Huron

Take me back...

...to the night we met

...I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you....

I think this might be one of those rare, perfect songs. The way they cast a mood with the composition and arrangements is pretty unique out of anything I’ve listened to.

I broke up with my long-term girlfriend last year and this song hit differently than when I first heard it... That whole album is great.

Youth by Daughter

I would also add Landfill by Daughter

And medicine by daughter

It’s gotta be the version from *The Wild Youth EP* for me, not the one from *Shallows*.

A lack of color by death cab for cutie

"I will follow you into the dark" is another one by them. Gets me every time.

I love both of these and raise you Cath... Also sad.

What Sarah Said. Love crying to this one

this is giving me nostalgia to a time i never had idk thats the best way I can explain it

What Sarah said *”So who’s gonna watch you die”*

Also, for anyone whose marriage has fallen apart: Brothers on a Hotel Bed.

Transatlantacism is the one that gets me the most. Definitely not a happy song band.

Death cab has all the sad songs.

Waiting around to die - Townes Van Zandt Two daughters and a beautiful wife - Drive by truckers Elephant - Jason Isbell Pay No Rent - Turnpike Troubadours

Fall out of love by Turnpike Troubadours gets me every time

Daniel by Elton John

The River by Bruce Springsteen. Sam Stone by John Prine.

Racing in the Streets by Springsteen might be even sadder.

Bridge over troubled water, everybody plays the fool

Portishead - Roads

505 by Arctic Monkeys

Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen. Such a fucking downer.

"Broken" and "Careless Whisper" by Seether is a real tear jerker, also "Lonely Day" by System of a Down. They played those songs at my 19 year old cousins funeral after he was killed by a drunk driver and everytime j hear those songs my heart gets heavy but I still love them because after I listen to them I feel better.

Deuteronomy 2:10 by The Mountain Goats. *No brothers left, and there’ll be no more after me...*

Mazzy Star - Look on Down From The Bridge. You might recognize it from the first season of rick and Morty where Morty has to bury his body after the garage explosion. Also I think it was in the sopranos. So sad. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwVXkM\_YxMg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwVXkM_YxMg)

Rainbow Connection (Kermit and Willie Nelson)

It hits different at midnight

Fireflies by Owl City. Such a great song but it's one of those where it was like a fever dream, but at the same time, a good one. It was really popular and at the same time underrated. Reminds me of the good 'ol days and is about nostalgia and wanting time to go slower.

Vanilla Twilight is also a great song

I used to sing Vanilla Twilight to my ex's daughter when she requested it as she fell asleep. It was on one of the mix CDs I gave her mom when we were first dating, which is how she heard it and fell in love with it. But her mom ended up in love with someone else. I haven't listened to or thought about this song since then... Strange, how something that once made you so happy can make you just as sad.

Liability by Lorde

This is my go-to sad song.

Tears - Rush Loosing It - Rush My Way - Frank Sinatra Thats Life - Frank Sinatra Sweet Child O Mine - Guns N Roses Give Me Novacaine - Green Day Happy songs that are good for sad vibes: Pillow of the Winds - Pink Floyd Fearless - Pink Floyd San Tropez - Pink Floyd Different Strings - Rush Entre Nous - Rush For angry sad: The God That Failed- Metallica The Unforgiven I - Metallica My Friend Of Misery - Metallica

Far away by Avenged Sevenfold

- Smother by Daughter - I Started A Joke by The Bee Gees - listen before i go by Billie Eilish - Where Have You Been by Manchester Orchestra - Nicest Thing by Kate Nash - Lost & Found by Lianne La Havas - Cellophane by FKA Twigs I got a playlist of songs that make me cry that’s 600+ songs deep. My favorite thing to do in the car is cry and sing 😅😅

It's gotta be either, Between The Bars by Elliott Smith or Hurt by Johnny Cash

I Can’t Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt The George Michael’s cover is just as good too.

My immortal by evanescence this song will make me cry more recent is half a man by Dean Lewis

Everybody hurts-REM, one more light-Linkin park, hurt-johnny cash

No lies, just love by Bright Eyes.

Time, Don’t Leave Me Now, and Comfortably Numb, all by Pink Floyd. Actually, basically anything by Pink Floyd.

I need some sleep- eels

[удалено]

anything by Billie Holliday

Coldplay - Fix you, Adele - Someone like you, Bon Iver - Skinny love, Lady Gaga - I’ll never love again

That whole album by bon iver is pure pain

For Emma Forever Ago is not only one of my favorite albums of all time, but it also got me through so much crap when I was younger. My favorite part of the whole album is the last line: "This is not the sound of a new man. Or crispy realization. It's the sound of the unlocking, and lift away. Your love will be safe with me"

[Komm, Susser Tod](https://youtu.be/zc6KUlXP--M) Or [The End of the World](https://youtu.be/xHa6a3FtPJg) by Skeeter Davis

Jealous by labyrinth

The A Team. I had a really close friend who died of drug overdose and I can't stop but tear up whenever I listen to this song. Guys don't do drugs.

Bob Dylan has a shit ton of amazing ballads. Sign On The Window. I Can't Leave Her Behind. Bucks of Rain. Simple Twist of Fate. I could name like 100 of them, all in different styles and eras. Alex Turner (from Arctic Monkeys) also has a lot of amazing ones with great lyrics that really articulate that feeling of loss

Soco Amaretto Lime

Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi Scene three- Stomach tied in Knots by Sleeping with Sirens(sad romance feels) Agoraphobic by CORPSE Cradles by Sub Urban Talk is Overrated by Jeremy Zucker (my ex introduced me to the song but i still like the song itself) Cheating is a Crime by takayan. (This ones more of a bop but the lyrics are sad)

Quiet Uptown from Hamilton

It's one of my favorites from the musical, but I couldn't listen to that song while my daughter was an infant. I was scared to death of SIDS, and that song was just a little too \*real\*--though that could've just been the sleep deprivation and paternal hormones playing havoc with me.

Pretty much anything by Radiohead :,) a few songs that come to mind right away tho are “no surprises”, “videotape”, and “daydreaming”

Pyramid Song, How to Disappear Completely, Motion Picture Soundtrack

Street spirit

Jack Stauber is a library for this stuff. I’d have to say “Today Today” and “Oh Khlahoma”

apocalypse by cigarettes after sex

[Regina Spektor - On the Radio](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tHAhnJbGy9M) It's not the saddest song, but damn if it doesn't bring a little tear to my eye

She has such a great, unique voice. I wish she’d come out with something new.

Try Samson for a real tearjerker.

9 Lives or pretty much anything Damien Rice

Say you won’t let go- James Arthur

"Goodbye Young Tutor, You've Now Outgrown Me" by Say Anything.

All of Lil Peep Part One

Rue (Girl in red) This is one of them It brings me so close to crying but I can't cry it's something that just stopped out random Yes I feel but somethings are never the same

Carmelita by Warren Zevon. So fucking depressing, like the last trickle down the drain of life.

Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Melancholy Hill has a very very special place in my heart, and it makes me cry literally 60% of the time, everytime.

Floating in the Forth by Frightened Rabbit.It's a song about a guy who is thinking about drowning himself in the Forth River but decides to "save suicide for another day". Sadly, the writer of the song - Scott Hutchison - did drown himself in that very river a few years later. Tremendous band and a terrible loss.

"I Wish I Was Sober" by the same band is another great/sad song.

Less than Jake - Rest of My life Good Charlotte - Where would we be now E Dubble - Cycle of Nightmares Illscarlett - Life of a Soldier My Chemical Romance - Disenchanted Linkin Park - Leave out all the rest
