sad songs

Recommended Posts

ok then... which songs hit you where it hurts? haha... these ones have often made me shed a tear...

 

im going for a top 5 format again ;) :p

 

in no particular order

 

joy division - love will tear us apart

 

When routine bites hard

and ambitions are low

And resentment rides high

but emotions won't grow

And we're changing our ways,

taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart

again

 

Why is the bedroom so cold

Turned away on your side?

Is my timing that flawed,

our respect run so dry?

Yet there's still this appeal

That we've kept through

our lives

Love, love will tear us apart again

 

Do you cry out in your sleep?

All my failings exposed

Get a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold

Is it something so good

Just can't function no more?

When love, love will tear us apart

again

 

yo la tengo - tears are in your eyes

 

You tell me summer's here

and the time is wrong

You tell me winter's here

And your days are getting long

 

Tears are in your eyes

Tonight

 

You tell me that you haven't slept in days

You tell me sleeping only makes your tired anyway

 

Tears are in your eyes

Tonight

 

Although you don't beleive me, you are strong

Darkness always turns into the dawn

And you won't even remember this for long

When it ends alright

 

Please tell me how you know tomorrow staring at your shoes

 

Tears are in your eyes

Every night

 

radiohead - true love waits

 

I'll drown my beliefs

To have you be in peace

I'll dress like your niece

To wash your swollen feet

 

Just don't leave, don't leave

 

And true love waits

In haunted attics

And true love wins

On lollipops and crisps

 

Just don't leave, don't leave

 

I'm not living

I'm just killing time

Your tiny hands

Your crazy kitten smile

 

Just don't leave

don't leave

 

snow patrol - if i found the right words to say

 

Right about now if I'd found the right words to say

I'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand

I'll be there by your side for the rest of your life

Our bodies could fall off the edge of the world

 

Something told me we'd be happy forever

I don't see how this could change any of that

I will follow your ghost as it climbs up the rock-face

And lie with you there on the grass above

 

And I'd like to change all this

And I'd like to wake up from this

By your side

 

How did we ever survive for this length of time

Living with only a care for one thing

But the light that shines from her

whenever she's happy Is worth every minute

that we've saved ourselves

 

Maybe there's hope in just one final second

A flash of her love as she waves us goodbye

Don't torture yourself with what we might have given

We did everything that we could have done

 

And I'd like to change all this

And I'd like to wake up from this

By your side

 

sparklehorse - sea of teeth (just because it's so beautiful)

 

can you feel the wind of venus on your skin?

can you taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush?

stars will always hand in summer's bleeding veils

 

can you feel the rings of saturn on your finger?

can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?

but seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil

 

stars will always hand in summer's bleeding veils

but seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil

awww..cheer up Vin!!

 

I'd have to say "Your Sweet Voice" by The Reindeer Section. I heard it and i literally cried. I don't even know why...

 

Your Sweet Voice

 

You sweet voice

Lets me know there is a choice

Please me slow

Oh, Much more slowly than that

 

And when we danced

We danced warm cheek to cold cheek

A sideways glance

I knew you were looking at him

 

I can't call you a friend

Cause when you left me here

You left me here to die

Don't worry I wont call you again

Cause when I take a hint

I take it pretty hard

And when you broke my heart

you broke it into shards of glass

 

The telephone yells out

At me to wake

I won't be blamed

For someone else's mistakes

It's your sweet voice

Sounding cheery and warm

It breaks my heart

But I summon up all my charm

 

Can I call you my friend?

It's been so long

Since we have talked

and I miss you

Don't worry I'm over you right now

So my feelings wont get in the way of it

Oh, I miss the way we talked

about the little things

 

Hmmm..i know there's more sad songs, i know.

Mothers Of The Disappeared by U2

 

 

Midnight, our sons and daughters

Were cut down and taken from us.

Hear their heartbeat

We hear their heartbeat.

 

In the wind we hear their laughter

In the rain we see their tears.

Hear their heartbeat, we hear their heartbeat.

 

Night hangs like a prisoner

Stretched over black and blue.

Hear their heartbeats

We hear their heartbeats.

 

In the trees our sons stand naked

Through the walls our daughter cry

See their tears in the rainfall.

 

sort of depressing.

 

Motion Picture Soundtrack is the most depressing song I've ever heard.

Mothers of the disappeared... being Argentinian, it hurts...

 

'Mother' by John Lennon is the one that most gets me... I think of it as the most sincerely sang tune I've ever heard, the way the man screams in the end, calling his mother... oooh it brings tears to my eyes.

 

Then I would name

'Goodbye Blue Sky' by Pink Floyd

'Sparks' by Coldplay

'How to Disappear Completely ' by Radiohead

Sad Song

 

Sing a sad song

In a lonely place

Try to put a word in for me

It's been so long

Since I found this place

You better put in two or three

We as people, are just walking 'round

Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground

What we don't see

Well it can't be real

What we don't touch we cannot feel

 

Where we're living in this town

The sun is coming up and it's going down

But it's all just the same at the end of the day

And we cheat and we lie

Nobody says it's wrong

So we don't ask why

Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away at the end of the day

 

If you need it

Something I can give

I know I'd help you if I can

If your honest and you say that you did

You know that I would give you my hand

Or a sad song

In a lonely place

I'll try to put a word in for you

Need a shoulder? well if that's the case

You know there's nothing I wouldn't do

 

Where we're living in this town

The sun is coming up and it's going down

But it's all just the same at the end of the day

When we cheat and we lie

Nobody says it's wrong

So we don't ask why

Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day

 

Don't throw it all away

Don't throw it all away

Don't throw it all away

Don't throw it all away

Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

 

Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

You're throwing it all away at the end of the day

Oh shoot!! You saw them live?? ARGH!! I wanna see them! I reckoned they'd rock!! Snow Patrol is fantastic, Lighbody has probably the best voice. It just kills me whenever i hear him.

 

Your Sweet Voice always makes me cry and You Are My Joy is the best video!! :D

4am by Our Lady Peace!

 

I walked around my good intentions

and found that there were none

I blame my father for the waisted years

we hardly talked

I never thought I would forget this hate

then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong

 

and if I don't make it known that I loved you all along

just like sunny days that we ignore because

we're all dumb and jaded

then I hope to God I figure out what's wrong

 

walked around my room not thinking

just sinking in this box

I blame myself for being too much like

somebody else

I never thought it would just end this way

but then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong.
