Saddest song you've ever heard

Probably not the saddest song but a sad song nonetheless is 'Lost' by Lycanthia.

If you haven't heard it already you can listen to it here:

Another one for me would probably be Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely. Such a beautifully sad song.

Not the saddest but sad themes.

[OminousInane]

Katatonia - This Punishment... Ouch!
Opeth - Patterns in the Ivy II, Isolation Years
Sigur Ros - Gong
Daylight Dies - Last Alone
Slowdive - Dagger
Wolves in the Throne Room - Dea Artia
Camel - Rhayader Alone, I'd say this is the saddest of them all

 

[Belligerent]

Anathema - One Last Goodbye (tearjerking and amazing all at once)
Agalloch - Odal (shows that instrumentals can be sad)
Type O Negative - Death in the Family

 

[Grumble Grumble]

Johnny Cash - Hurt

There's lots of songs from Katatonia, Anathema and so on that's full of melancholy but Johnny Cash's Hurt is the saddest. There's just something so touching in old man singing such a sad song full of memories close to end of his days.

agreed, just his vocal tonality just is heart shattering.

 

[Vincent J.]

No More Will - Nevermore... actually the entire Dreaming Neon Black album

 

[Mantraschism]

Katatonia - 12, Quiet World, Saw You Drown, STRAINED, Dispossession, The Future of Speech, HELP ME DISAPPEAR, Sleeper, A Premonition, Burn the Remembrance, Evidence, My Twin, CODE AGAINST THE CODE, Unfurl

Opeth - To Bid You Farewell, Credence, Patterns in the Ivy II, Hope Leaves, ISOLATION YEARS, Coil

The Cure - Last Dance, The Same Deep Water As You, Homesick

Anathema - Restless Oblivion, Angelica, A Fine Day to Exit, Temporary Peace, Electricity

Yngwie Malmsteen - Memories

Rhapsody - Lamento Eroico (yes, I know)


What the hell, I'm coming up with some weird stuff. I can't think straight right now anyway - I'm missing somebody. =[

Anathema - One Last Goodbye

i listened to it now and almost died
do they have more songs with that much emotion in them?

Everything from Alt. 4 and later is incredible.

That would be an interesting mix of utterly awesome and utterly horrible
