SAD SONGS

[Devour]

to add another Evergrey song in there.. "I'm Sorry".

Pretty much any My Dying Bride can get you depressed if you're not in a decent mood when you're listening to it.

 

[Lyle]

^ correct

i would hump the moz's leg so fuckin hard

pantera - cemetary gates........ dimebag keep shreddin in heaven

the day burzum killed dimegab...

 

[Dän]

In the midst she was standing - opeth - particually towards the end

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Agreed with "For My Fallen Angel" and "Slowly Slippin' Away". I mentioned "New Death Sensation" (Acid Bath) in a similar thread, and would definitely add "Solitude" by Sabbath.

 

[GarinStone]

Song for a Dead Friend - Kevin Gilbert

Thats definitely the saddest song ever written.

Dissident - Esoteric draws a deep feeling of sadness and agony out of me.

I'm adding "As light as our darkness" by Evergrey to the list.


And Carpet Crawlers by Genesis.

 

[IdolWarship]

svart djup, den sista runans dans, rok - Finntroll
the ravens, ring of gold, hammerheart - Bathory
eternal wait - Ensiferum
journey to the end, soge 1 and 2 - Windir

 

[Ellestin]

Elend - Silent Slumber - A God that Breeds Pestilence
not metal but it nail you to the fucking FLOOR

 

[Zero Dude]

Nothing brings a tear to my eye quicker than: Fucked With A Knife by Cannibal Corpse. If this song doesn't say love, nothing does...

 

[Jesse Pohjalainen]

anything off Discouraged Ones by Katatonia

 

[Mitton]

Katatonia have alot of sad songs. There are also a a few Pantera songs like Hollow and Cemetary Gates that solo does hit you quite hard.

 

[Aeuphorias]

12 Days Of Rain by October Tide. I know it may not seem sad to some, but to me it's quite depressing.

 

[Demilich]

Does anyone else find some Katatonia songs to be "sad" in a contrived way? I still like them, I just don't find them as genuinely emotional as I used to.

are we talking about "last fair deal gone down"

because if we are, certainly

if we're talking to anything prior to that album, you're fucking nuts

 

[Demilich]

I think LFDGD is the album that gave me that impression. Some songs on TD also, and on VE the lyrics seem more and more to be trying to appeal to a certain demographic. probably all in my head, but it makes it a bit harder to enjoy these songs like i did when i was younger.

haven't heard the new one yet, what's the verdict?

 

[Erik]

they kinda left the whole sadness/depression thing with viva emptiness anyway; good move. i mean don't get me wrong, it's still not bright and happy (like some songs on lfdgd...) but they're focusing on other things that i dont feel like going into in detail here but anyway: i think the lyrics on viva emptiness are brilliant

haven't heard the new one yet, what's the verdict?

not sure yet. give me a few months

 

[Demilich]

i think its the tendency towards abstract descriptions of situations that may or may not have arisen from real life experience. there's a very fine for me beyond which that style of lyrics start to sound contrived. whether theres any justification to that claim i can't say, and its possible for me to still enjoy the lyrics and love the songs despite what could just be my penchant for dissecting music i've listened to for too long.

 

[Miss*Li]

looool !!!

good point of view!

Him also make me cry...but just because they really suck! uke:

I have only heard Brave Murder Day and the song "Saw you Drown" and I'm not hearing any "tearjerking sadness" at all.

Its great music, I just don't understand the sad part.


BTW stealing Opeths vocalist = good idea.

Song for a Dead Friend - Kevin Gilbert

Cool, for once it's not me saying it

Cool, for once it's not everyone else ignoring it out of ignorance.
