THE SADDEST SONG

[Procella]

Let's choose the saddest song ever written; in any genre. Write 3-5 titles, you can write something more about them.

 

[The Grimace]

"Closure" by the Op&ths. It's a bummer.

Um... Streets Of Sorrow by the Pogues.

"Lucy" by Nick Cave. And also "From Her To Eternity" if you can include psychotic depression under "sad".

"Dream Brother" by Jeff Buckley also makes me sad somedays.

 

[Birkenau]

Birkenau - Outro
Shining - Ren Djavla Angest
Silencer - The Slow Kill in the Cold

 

[Perdition's Light]

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Joy Division - Atmosphere
Joy Division - Decades
Joy Division - New Dawn Fades

 

[Nico]

Jesu - Sun Day
Mournful Congregation - The Monad of Creation
My Dying Bride - Black God

 

[Perdition's Light]

The Cure - One Hundred Years

edit:
Radiohead - No Surprises

 

[Scarifier]

Judas Priest - Beyond the realms of death
But it sounds funny when he goes "AND THEN HE DIIIIIIIIIIIIED"

 

[Hammer of Might]

Pink Floyd's 'Time' has such depressing (but bloody great) lyrics.

 

[kmik]

Thergothon - Elemental

 

[Erik]

Katatonia "Brave"

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Nick Cave - As I Sat Sadly by Her Side
Katatonia - Deadhouse

[Susperia]

All we are is dust in the wiiiiinnnnnnnd

 

[Cursed Warrior]

Black Sabbath - Solitude
Burzum - The Crying Orc
Alcest - Le Secret

 

[The Grimace]

Nick Cave - As I Sat Sadly by Her Side

Yes, also.

 

[Knulla]

Katatonia makes me extremely depressed sometimes.

Check out the song "Gateways of Bereavement" if you want sad songs. Or anything by them, actually.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Cliche, but Pantera's Cemetary Gates, Hollow and Suicide Note Pt. I

 

[truls]

Nick cave songs can be really sad, two first songs i thought of however were: jeff buckley-last goodbye, prayer boat-hurts to loose you

 

[Spirit In Black]

Candlemass - Solitude

 

[Necramentia]

living colour

Jarboe - Lavender Girl
Katatonia - Brave/Deadhouse/For Funerals To Come/Chrome
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (cliche, I know, but it still has an effect on me)
