the sadest song

try macushla by john mc cormac, a classical piece but blows the modern stuff away

or
its all over by the god machine
hey thats no way to say goodbye by leonard cohen
apart by the cure
black is the colour by christy moore
or or or or
 
*Fields of the nephilim - "And there your heart will be also"
*Anathema - "One last goodbye"
*Anathema - "Regret"
*Radiohead - "Fade out"
*King crimson - "Epitaph"
*Queen - "Show must go on"
*Pink floyd - "Comfortably numb"
 
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

King Crimson - "Epitaph"

i challenge you all. this is the bleakest song ever.
 
street spirit (fade out)
exit music (for a film)
let down
no surprises
how to disappear completely
idioteque
i might be wrong
dollars and cents

and i hope you all know which band wrote these songs...
 
The Old Dead Tree's Bathroom Monologue deserves a nomination too:

THE BATHROOM MONOLOGUE
(Munoz, Chevrollier / Munoz)

I can remember a lot of moments with you
Talking and talking again
Dreaming on music
Becoming famous, playing with our idols
Joking about Nicolas car

Yes, a lot of times
So I can’t understand yet
And I start to feel very cold
In this bath that is getting empty
Just like me

I’m speaking alone
Can’t you realise?
Can’t you realise?
Look at me now

I think I couldn’t feel worse
Speaking to a ghost
The best friend I ever lost

Look at me now
You have to realise
My friend
How huge is
The mistake you’ve done

No I couldn’t feel worse

What have you done my friend
What the hell he’s done something like that?
Why did you hide your pain?
Why didn’t you ask for some help?
Maybe he did?
I think I’m lost
Yes I think I’m really lost
I don’t know what to think
There’s like emptiness of myself

A pathetic naked boy speaking to the walls
We could call it the bathroom monologue
What do you think about that?

But wherever you are I hope you keep laughing
Yes,
Just keep laughing.
 
i'm afraid i'm all about cliches now... :Smug:

Anathema - One Last Goodbye (and that's really one that gets me going... Like Danny mentioned in some other thread; that song's been written for remembrance of passed-away loved ones, uncomprimisedly.)

~ - Angelica (Sopel's website live version - mate, those keys, the tune... shivers down my spine.)

~ - Temporary Peace
("Beyond this beautiful horizon
lies a dream for you and I
this tranquil scene is still unbroken
by the rumours in the sky
but there's a storm closing in
voices crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing"
- i wonder how this can affect my being that deep...)

Helium Vola - Selig
MDB - For My Fallen Angel
Emperor - Acclamation of Bonds

:err:

I think everyone's affected by the words and the music alike here in this song.
 
right... :Smug:

anyways. i can't wait for the new one. and i'm gonna watch them at werchter. perfect combination!
 
Good sad songs already mentioned... One more that popped into my head is Everything but the Girl's Two Star (surprise, huh?).

'... So it's not for me to say,
because I change my mind from day to day,
and when I look at you
I only see bits of myself anyway.

So go on, and stop listening to me.
Stop listening to me.
And don't ask me what to say,
or to judge a life this way

when my own's in disarray, my own's in disarray'

:cry:
