Saddest song you've ever heard

[Phoenix5]

You don't like Mick's voice?

I guess we all do and do not like certain singing voices. I especially don't care much for Jonas voice on LFDGD, Discouraged Ones, or Tonight's Decision too much. There are certain lines that just seem out of tune, or just awkward on those albums. Such as on "gone" the first lines sound strange to me. I really like the singing on Viva Emptiness and TGCD though.

Yep, Mick's voice is pure gold. Antimatter is brilliant

 

[stefan86]

I think Mick's voice is pretty good. I don't listen to Antimatter as much as I used to but "Planetary Confinement" sure is one of the most emotional cd's I've heard.

 

[Phoenix5]

Yes.

I forgot!

Novembers Doom - Within My Flesh is pretty fucking sad.

 

[BlueSky]

I think Mick's voice is pretty good. I don't listen to Antimatter as much as I used to but "Planetary Confinement" sure is one of the most emotional cd's I've heard.

The Nickelback singer?

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

*insert a dozen New Order and Joy Division songs here cause im too lazy to make a list*

 

[Lisra]

also: the cooper temple clause - murder song

 

[stefan86]

The Nickelback singer?

OHH YEAH-AAH!

 

[Richard Mongler]

I hate Nickelback. GAH! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

 

[Sad Madrigal]

Well....

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest
My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel
Anathema - One Last Goodbye
Katatonia - Day
Opeth - Burden

 

[stefan86]

Rapture - The Great Distance, anyone?

 

[L0bster]

they may not strike as exactly "sad", but one of few bands that I think create a truly depressive sort of mode in their music is Neurosis. So insert Neurosis song.

 

[Beneath the beast]

fade to black always gets me -every time i listen to it

 

[OminousInane]

St. Anger makes me really sad, because it's so fucking horrid

 

[Beneath the beast]

St. Anger makes me really sad, because it's so fucking horrid

yes, metallica truly are masters in more ways than 1

 

[Silent paragon]

I think Solitary Refinement by Daylight Dies is up there with Quiet World.

I also think In This Twilight by Nine Inch Nails is a sad song but in a - the government is brainwashing everyone to believe they are happy when the world is falling apart, any you're the only one who realises whats going on - kind of way.

 

[Charon8]

fade to black always gets me -every time i listen to it

This is one song I'd like to hear Katatonia cover. I think they could do a really good rendition of it.

And Eve, yeah, I agree with you on In This Twilight.

 

[MadTinus]

Just listened to "Some Day" by Blackfield, amazingly beautiful and sad song, incredible.

 

[Phoenix5]

Christenings is another one.

 

[Rogue Eagle]

It's not strictly metal but it's still damn sad!
Gary Jules - Mad World (cover)
Alice in Chains - Nutshell
A Perfect Circle - Gravity
Porcupine Tree - Trains
RHCP - californication/otherside

And more metalish-
Tool - Right in two
Dark Suns - abiding space
Isis - Altered Course. No other track gives me such a sense of loneliness and emptiness. It's haunting.

 

[MiniMoose]

My Dying Bride - A doomed Lover
My Dying Bride - Black God
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

(of course there's a lot of others, but just hit me how I love to wallow in the dirt when I hear A Doomed Lover..fantastic...or something..)
