Saddest songs you've heard

Songs that had you at tears or almost got you there. Some of mine:

Outkast - Toilet Tisha: One of the best songs about youth suicide out there
Eminem - Stan: Not so sad but depressing since you know stuff like this could happen
Dr. Dre - The Message: Amazing tribute to his deceased brother, "They say real G's don't cry, well if that's true, then I guess I ain't no gangster"
Ghostface Killah - All That I Got Is You: Perfect tribute to his mother
Geto Boys - 6 Feet Deep: Just a good song about unnecessary death

Post some of your saddoes emo kids :P

You Never Know-Immortal Technique

Forgot to mention, just got a rap, One Life-The Emperor Ft. Too Poetic, Esthero, the 2nd verse is just insanely sad.

Those are some good Choices Toriko42... I am going to agree with Stan.... and the message.

Dir en Grey - Mazohyst of Decadence: It's about stillborn children, so poetic if you understand the lyrics.
Dir en Grey - Embryo: First person perspective on sexual abuse, the way the guy sings it live makes it amazing. The anger and sadness comes out and it's amazing.

I still think it's "Once again, as before, I am alone" by Tchaikovsky. Not even a glimpse of sunlight... brilliantly written.

Immortal Technique- Dance with the Devil

Jay-Z - Meet the Parents

Cam'ron - D Rugs

Happy Birthday-Flipsyde Ft. Piper

Uncommon Valor-Jedi Mind Tricks

Song Cry-Jay-Z

Life Goes On-2Pac

Dance-Nashockey73

That was a great track, when R.A. the Rugged Man starts the part about his father in Vietnam he owns that track.

You'll understand once you hear it.

Who Am I To Say - Hope

such a depressing song lol

Christina Aguilera -- Hurt

Metafix - Big City Life, a big hit back when my parents got divorced, and played constantly, always brings up the bad memories...

From Crib to Coffin - Emery
Find the Way - Mika Nakashima
"The Willing Well: IV - The Final Cut" by Coheed and Cambria

A good number of Elliott Smith's songs are pretty sad. Such a shame that he's dead and still criminally underrated.

Also, Nine Inch Nails' "Right Where it Belongs" and "And All that Could Have Been"

Holy Wars (The punishment due) - Megadeth

Fade To Black - Metallica

One - Metallica

Blackened - Metallica "see her mother...put to death see her mother diiiiiieeeee"

Dance With The Devil - Immortal Tech.

It's sad to know that something that horrible could really happen. I hate saying it, but it almost brings me to tears when I hear it.

Any Country song. - It's just sad to think about how horrible country music is. Brings me to tears. :'(

He died from two stab wounds to the chest and the autopsy came back as inconclusive as to whether or not they were self-inflicted.

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit. I can't get through that song without being spooke into turning it off. It's more of the reason of what the song is about. And I think VH1 had something on TV one night about Most haunting songs, or most tragic songs and I woke up and her "Strange Fruit" was #1, and I turned the TV off and started crying.

That song just paints such horrible images in my head, it's haunting.

Joshua Radin - Winter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19IVl7kbNFY&feature=fvst

James Blunt - Same Mistake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MGhYNqHfeY

Tim McGraw - Dont Take the Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-TXBniRz1g

FFVII Crisis Core - The Price of Freedom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOJ91H4mraU

Tears in Heaven- Eric Clapton. Once you learn the backstory, you'll know why it's so sad, :(

a song that makes me feel emotional, Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

The GazettE - Taion About a young girl who was brutally tortured and raped to death

The GazettE - Guren About miscarriage and abortion (possibly)

Dir En Grey - Concieved Sorrow About the lead singer feeling like his love life is over because he is growing older and had a string of bad relationships. There is probably more to it including feeling like his life is over socially and otherwise at a point where he is alone in the world.

your beautiful by james blunt, o james you know how to write a ballad to my heart

Ballad of Hollis Brown by Bob Dylan

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (not that crappy-ass cover that so many people like)

Ballad In Plain D by Bob Dylan

Everything Means Nothing to Me. .

I gotta go with Prisoners of Fate from Chrono Cross. It's so beautifully tragic and hopeless.

Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens always makes me tear up. :cry:

Here's some newer ones.

Heurt - Amesoeurs (Neige and a female vocalist...Nostalgic themes; the vocals are almost uplifting but the riff is incredibly cold)
Ruinen - Lantlos (Neige is better here IMO; a harsher piece showcasing modernity's failures; very frustrated)
Sound Odyssey - Novembre (set to clips of Three Colours: Blue)


These are some of my favorites and the ones I always post:

Dirge For November - Opeth (A song about suicide and my favorite by them)
Fire Above, Ice Below - Agalloch (Just reading those lyrics after following Falling Snow and the previous introduction track is breathtaking. The build-up is amazing).

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (not that crappy-ass cover that so many people like)

MrGeezer

Them's fightin' words :evil:

Spiritualized - Lay It Down Slow

I think I've heard sadder, but I don't feel like recalling. What made this song even more saddening was having to first listen to it during the last part of the Prison Break series finale. Those who have watched it would know why.
