Beautiful but heartbreaking songs...

Anyone got a good sad song? Share them here via Youtube if you don't mind.

Mine handsdown would have to be Great White's "Love is a Lie".



I love this part of the lyrics:

So breathe a last and broken sigh
Oh silent night come now to me
And if I dream of light
Come down and be with me
And in the dark we will not see

One of the saddest, most

One of the saddest, most heart-rending songs I've ever heard has to be 'Passage' by Vienna Teng.

Dreams of a Black Cat from a

Dreams of a Black Cat from a video game that I often play called Mana Khemia. It's a lovely instrumental that always tears me up (especially at the beginning) only because of how naive and innocent it is. A silly reason to find it saddening, I know.

Another, more simple but sad song is Ballad of the Wind Fish from 'Link's Awakening'. A song that still makes me cry when I listen to it...

I'd put em up directly, but I have no earthly idea how x'D

... a song that makes my

... a song that makes my crying everytime i hear it... becaus it is _true_

hm... its german, though... i found a translation.. of course it is not the same but... ah... maybe you get the feeling anyways...

Megaherz - An deinem Grab (at your grave)

translation in the description


edit: oh ginger, ballad of windfish.. pff everytime i played that game and this song played I got goosebumbs _though_ it is just a tiny midi-sound...

wonder if there is somewhere an orchestral version or such....

edit2: oh yes <3

Mick Kreiger: You Know You Love Me XOXO

I can't listen to this



I can't listen to this without crying. I don't cry. I've never cried for anyone but them. =_= eehh...I find Paul McCartney's/John Lennon's friendship to be absolutely beautiful, and I hate that John was taken away from this world. buh.



I don't want him to die. I cry every time. like an idiot.

these are all really pretty, too...-rolls out-

This thread is so in my

This thread is so in my tastes... "Passage" wins i think, but Kaoori, I was a bit surprised. I have a history with some of the songs you posted (the ending song to the X movie is unlistenable to me and that video for All I Need is one of my favorite music videos of all time, and also one of the songs I listen to when I am drawing a lot- have you tried Weird Fishes?). And Ballad of the Wind Fish, and The Beatles... I was actually crying to Let it Be the other night on the road home. It happens from time to time.

It's difficult to choose but here are a few of mine.
From Yoko Kanno (there are so many more but I don't want to spam)




From a few different artists

Teardrop - Massive Attack














... i will behave myself and stop now... v_v

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

This song has made me cry



This song has made me cry myself to sleep more than once but I guess mostly because I connect and relate to it so much. Maybe you guys won't even think it's sad.


Do I see Within Temptation up there? Plus 9000 points.

eyestrain- I LOVE Yoko Kanno.

eyestrain- I LOVE Yoko Kanno. <3

I'll have to give what you suggested a listen. X Japan is one of my most favorite bands ever.. Endless Rain makes me bawl like a baby too.

I'm really happy you guys didn't mind my excessive list...
@Tally- I liked that, thanks.

for some reason i can't edit my post but the Teardrop I linked wasn't very good audio quality. This one is better:


Also... there's this:

My Brightest Diamond- Disappear Live from Asthmatic Kitty on Vimeo.



although I wish I could find the CD version online.

And yes, Kaoori, please give all of In Rainbows a listen. Especially Weird Fishes and House of Cards. If you like Radiohead I would also try There There (The Bony King of Nowhere) and How To Disappear Completely.

Tally, I haven't even hit the play button yet and I already have my sad face on. It is a very, very sad song.


Does anyone else generally more creative when they listen to sad songs?
Either way I'm glad we all have such great taste in music ;D

@Hallows- Yes!! Ocean

@Hallows- Yes!! Ocean Breathes Salty is one of my favorite music videos of all time. And Talkin Shit About A Pretty Sunset is another beautiful sad song... in fact...



And... one more


@Halafax and Kaoori-
The reason I have so many of these downcast kind of songs is because I use them to draw to. Since I found it yesterday I have had the thread open and the songs playing while I draw.

PS- Her, somehow i missed the video you posted. That was beautiful. I'd never heard of that artist but now I am listening to more of their songs.

Sigur Ros is absolutely

Sigur Ros is absolutely amazing; every single one of their songs... Olafur Reynolds (if I spelt that right--I'm on my iTouch), too. But if you haven't already seen it, I recommend Glosoli. <3 Icelandic music is all beautiful to me so I'm really happy to see people take an interest in overlooked music. ;;

If you believe in something,

If you believe in something, anything, believe in it all the way, all the time. How can you really say it's true if your belief wavers depending on the surrounding conditions? Try not to think of this song as religious, but as belief in general. <3

This version has Seal in it, and it makes me cry. I love the original, but maybe because it's a tribute to Freddie Mercury it it makes me tear up.

I am really in love with everything posted since last time. This thread has been open for a few hours and most of it has been added to my youtube favorites.

Another one of my favorites. Kind of ironic I'm posting this song since I've had two recent deaths in my family, but this is one I love to sing along to.
