Saddest Good Song?
« Reply #50 on: 22 Apr 2006, 05:01 »

Point taken, but it generally doesn't put me in the most happy of moods still. It's not "I'm going to shoot myself in the face" depressing, just... yeah.


EDIT: DAMMIT, I hate starting new pages.

Quote from: mberan42
Yeah, I went through a wonderfully horrific emo phase and listened to nothing but Dashboard Confessional and Bright Eyes' "Lover I Don't Have to Love."

Songs that I love listening to when I'm depressed:
Radiohead - Exit Music for a Film and Talk Show Host


That's a pretty good start to my list. I love depressive / -ing music.


I definitely agree with "Exit Music (For a Film)", because that song can make me cry on occasion...

But as far as Radiohead goes, "How to Disappear Completely" is really sad too.

Well, the same goes for me if I don't listen out the entire album, but taken as a whole, for some reason, it actually manages to cheer me up if I'm depressed. It makes me feel like everything's going to be alright in the end.

The Foo Fighters - Razor also makes me feel like utter shite.

Radiohead's Karma Police makes me tear up.
Also, Almost every song on Smashing Pumpkins' Melon Colly & The Infinite Sadness can seriously make me an emo boy. I used to listen to that album all the time in 7th, 8th anf 9th grades. And it just brings up shitloads of nostalgia.

Jets To Brazil - Further Noth (If you want to feel lonely, listen to Perfecting Loneliness. It's a brilliant a powerful record, just horribley depressing and heartbreaking).

I concurr with Skibas. I bought that record a couple of months after a horrible breakup. Listening to Rocket Boy in the car with my family it was pretty freaking hard to keep from crying. Any Jets to Brazil can pretty much make me super depressed, but happy at the same time.

Poison Oak by Bright Eyes (Especially the lines: "I don't think that I ever loved you more/then when you turned away/when slammed the door/ when you stole a car/ and drove towards Mexico" Damn memories)

That entire album is great for depressing-ness, but that song especially.

Funny that you choose their best popular song. Based on that I have a hard time believing you've listened to Buddha or Cheshire Cat. If you haven't, you shouldn't say anything about their "only" good song.

And you wouldn't know good music if it bit you in the ass. Nightswimming is horrible and I love REM.


Edit: My answer is Sufjan Stephens - Casmir Pulaski Day because I had a friend who died of bone cancer. It's a fucking rough song. I think I cry every time it comes on.

Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind
Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis
Cigarettes Will Kill You - Ben Lee
Walk On - U2

Not exactly tear-jerkers in their own right, but they have their own significance to me, so they always make me a lil' bit angsty.

Anything by 5ive makes me kinda emo, though.  In that afterward, I'm massively depressed, I think God must hate me, and I want to kill myself.

Totally agree.  It's really well-done.

The two I can think of recently are:
Megadeth - Promises
and
Dream Theater - Lifting Shadows off a Dream

A lot of really happy songs make me really depressed, because they're all like, "Look how great my life is," and I'm all like, "My life isn't that good...*sad*"

Sing it, brother.  (On second thoughts, don't sing it - I don't want to wibble.)

Janis Ian's chucked out a few classics in the vein down the years, but the top three for "tear them till they glow" have to be Tea and Sympathy, Stars and Jesse.  I was at her gig in Edinburgh on Thursday - fantastic gig, BTW - and to my great surprise she opened the second set with Tea and Sympathy.  I found myself thinking that if she followed up with the other two songs I named, the gallery would probably empty ... into the main auditorium ... without using the stairs.

Oh, I forgot to mention, there's three songs on The Residents' Animal Lover that never cease to depress me, and they're all in a row (For the record, if you're paying attention and you read the book that comes along with that record, it's one of the most depressing albums ever). But the songs that kill me are Inner Space, Dead Men, and My Window. WOO

I have had a few very powerful emotional reactions in my life time, but I cannot remember the situations regarding them, the name of the song, or even the name of the band.

I do vagely recall crying while hearing A Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief while I was at the jailhouse where Joseph Smith was murdered.  I was pretty overcome with emotion.  I think even if you are someone that disagrees with my religion on every level, it's hard to argue that he wasn't a good man, and he didn't deserve to die the way he did.

But I have a feeling this thread is more about contemporary music, or rather, non-gospel songs.  And like I said, I can't really recall any... I want to say Stone Temple Pilots had a hand in making me tear up (or as close to it as I get... I sort of just get really melancholy and kind of absorb into myself) at one point, though.

Oh god, there are so many!


On one hand, we have innocent-sounding pop songs with heartbreaking lyrics:

The Boy Least Likely To -- "My Tiger My Heart"
The Magnetic Fields -- "100,000 Fireflies"
The Beach Boys -- "Sloop John B."  (if you don't think this is sad, wait 'till you're deadly homesick and you will be sobbing along, srsly)


On the other, we have all-around tragic songs:

Broken Social Scene -- "Anthems For A 17 Year Old Girl"
Stars -- "Your Ex Lover Is Dead"
The Weakerthans -- "Left and Leaving" (seconding whomever said this earlier)
Sigur Ros -- "Untitled 3" from the album ()
The Magic Numbers -- "This Love"



For a calm sad, you might want to put on a Regina Spektor cd, her voice is good for those kinds of moods.  If you're angry sad, put on some Matson Jones, it's AMAZING.

i'm on the Jets to Brazil boat, too.  after a particularly rough break-up, i must have listened to "In the Summer's When You Really Know" and "Perfecting Loneliness" about a thousand times each.

The Weakerthans- "Left and Leaving" (again)
The Weakerthans- "Exiles Among You"
Sage Francis- "Runaways"
A Radio With Guts- "Math and the Mocking Moon" (another song i listened to a lot after that break-up)
Weezer- "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" (not actually as emotionally affecting as some of these other songs, but the songwriting is just dead-on)
Chris Murray- "Home"
Jawbreaker- "Ashtray Monument"

Stop Your Crying - Spiritualized
It's odd, because it's a plea to someone loved to stop crying, but it's so sad itself. I love the line "I feel so broke inside but I'll devote my life to loving you"


Broken Heart > Stop Your Crying.

And as for saddest good songs;
The Weatherthans - Everything but Aside off of Left and Leaving
Deathcab for Cutie - Styrofoam Plates
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts
Our Lady Peace - 4am
Yoko Kano - Space Lion(off of Cowboy Bebop soundtracks), and pretty much every flashback/Julia music from the series.
Blink 182 - Adams Song, I regret nothing!
Bright Eyes and Badly Drawn Boy - Cant name an specific songs but im sure theres a few sad songs, but all the songs are great.
Hayden - Most of his shit is really heartfelt and awesome
Hollies - He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother, makes me cry everytime, if only on the inside.  If your Canadian and had the pleasure of the anti-drug commercial scored by it, then you would understand.
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees


I am sure theres like tonnes more in my playlist but I'll leave those for you atm.

*edit*

I didnt read any previous posts until after my post.  Anyway, I stand by Adam's Song.  And Skibas Clavicle rose like 30 points in the hot awesome meter for listing Hayden.

Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof

Wax me
Mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof

So pay the money and take a shot
Leadfill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof

And bullet proof

As long as we're talking about music that is very emotionally evocative, and not just sad:

DJ Shadow - Stem/Long Stem.

Ever listen to one of those songs that just sort of envelops you entirely and whisks you away to another world, whether it be strange and beautiful or eerily disturbing?  Yeah.  That's what this song is like for me.

and the rain song by led zeppelin always got me, ten years gone is good too.

Saddest Good Song?

Also, Dirty Girl? Huh?

The whole song seems like a lie. He's telling himself that it's all cool that it's over but I get the feeling that really, he's not over her. Get's me anyway.

Stifled: He might mean Saeglopur from Takk..., but it doesn't really seem sad to me. The piano just before it gets loud bites into you a bit though.

Saddest Good Song?

Oh yeah, another one:  "Jolene" by the White Stripes.  Not written by them, but the amount of emotion Jack puts into it when they play it live is so great.

Saddest Good Song?

Okay, I totally forgot that the universe's saddest song is Neko Case's "The Tigers Have Spoken."


N(d) + S = T

where

N = Neko Case's voice
d = A nostalgaic tiger who is dead
S = The Sadies
T = TEARS


Science has proven it, people.

the saddest song is a retarded man who is crying and promising a broken egg that it will still be a chicken someday. And that they'll play in a field when it gets better


Until I clicked the link and saw the silly comic it was from, this caused my throat and nose to ache - You know that feeling?

Songs that make me cry:

Certain pieces from the films American Beauty and Finding Nemo,

Circle of Life, Can You Feel The Love Tonight from the Lion King

Last Wrongs - Oceansize
When The Faction's Fractioned - Biffy Clyro
Olsen - BoC
Long Forgotten - Oceansize
Tommib Help Buss - Squarepusher

All of those songs only make me cry because of the way they sound - I couldn't recite most of the lyrics there even if I wanted to.
