The Saddest Song You Have Ever Heard?

[WittyName]

'Don't Cry' by Guns 'N' Roses surprisingly...

Agree, that song is really quite sad, but it is an amazing song nonetheless...

 

[Ignignoct]

Way to Fall, by Starsailor.

Here's an Advent Children movie set to the song:

"Oh, I've got something in my throat,

I need to be alone,

While I suffer"

We politely utter the first line to excuse ourselves, and silently think the latter. Sounds emo in text format, but sharply honest and humble when sung by him.

 

[Deguasser]

Selfless, Cold and Composed by Ben Folds Five or Brick by Ben Folds Five

Selfless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzVjzSbKwRQ

you just have to go find Brick.

 

[Ignignoct]

Hurt covered by Johnny Cash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go. The man is a music legend.

Music video is amazing. Like a man who has everything realizing it's nothing at all.

 

[Vlane]

I don't exactly know which songs but I'll try.

With lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go
Without lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8akmP6Sjv2o

Honorable mentions goes to Roses for the Dead by Funeral For A Friend and Fade to Black by Metallica.

 

[Vlane]

sorry to get scientific but statistically the saddest song is called "Gloomy Sunday" because it has led to hundreds of people committing suicide

Source or I have to say that's not true. That is a rumor as far as I know.

Lover, You Should Have Come Over: Jeff Buckley.
A Change Is Gonna Come: Otis Redding
Janie Got A Gun: Aerosmith
Hundreds more but those three would be taken to a desert island with me.

It's true apparently. The song was banned until reletively recently. Damned if Ican find a copy, though.
Ella Fitzgerald did a rendition.

 

[Low Frost]

The song "Chou", from Fatal Frame 2.
Tsukiko Amano's voice is so haunting, and when you know the lyrics and how they are in context to the game, I can't NOT tear up when I hear the song.

Which reminds me...

Stay With Me by Lorraine Ellison is the most gut wrenching ballad you've never heard. You Tube it and tell me I'm wrong...

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

Bottle Dreams by Eyedea.

My friend told me she thought it was sad. You should judge for yourselves.

 

[Hlista]

very metal but very sad

 

[Backinblack]

Civil war by guns and roses
Shadow of the sun by Audioslave
37 stitches by drowning pool

civil war by far being the saddest

I almost cried waterfalls when that began playing when the credits rolled for MGS3.


Also, Radiohead's 'How to Disappear Completely' always gets me down.

Hello by Evanescence
My Immortal by Evanescence

Something about Amy Lee's voice

And of course Hurt covered by Johnny Cash (I've always preferred NIN's version but Cash seems to put alot more emotion into it whilst Trent Reznor creates a more haunting or chilling feel throughout the song)

 

[Logan Westbrook]

I've always found Hero of War [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAG1i3JfUvA] by Rise Against to be heart-wrenching.

Likewise, Long Live The Queen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RbNdwY4ujw&feature=related] by Frank Turner brings a limp to my throat.

 

[Sarcastic Chimp]

I Will Wait for You
Connie Francis

Many of you may remember it from the Jurassic Barks episode of Futurama.

That song just kills me, whenever I hear it
