The Grave by george Michael, I dont like george MIchael, bu this is one of the saddest song's ever

Parisianne Walkaways By Gary Moore, His guitar solo is the saddest guitar solo ever

Hurt - Johnny Cash (NIN)
If you knew - Nina Simone.
No Lies, just love - Bright Eyes

And a lot of classical stuff, such as Concierto de aranjues by Rodrigo and Adagio by Albinoni.

I always cry when i sing this one. just can't bear the thought of what happens in this song:


Lost In The Moment - Edie Brickell


The register stood open as the smoke cleared the room
And one man was lying over blood and a broom
The store door was swingin' in a midnight breeze
And another man ran through the dark and the trees

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs

He ran past the motel threw his gun in the trash
Looked down through the darkness and counted the cash
The man at the store was trying to stand
Looked up through the white light and reached out his hand

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there

The ambulance arrived but it was too late
In the spin of the red lights they covered his face
He had a wife who was waiting watching TV in bed
Wondering why he wasn't home yet
Their baby was sleeping until the telephone rang
He woke and he cried out but nobody came

Lost in the moment of what he needs
Lost in the moment of what he needs
Are you there can you hear me
Are you there

She doesn't know what they'll do now now that he's gone
Try to get over and try to get on
Alone in the backyard a cool afternoon
The tree they planted has started to bloom
She wanted him to see this she wanted him there
She wanted to kiss him and brush back his hair

Lost in the moment of what she needs
Lost in the moment of what she needs

REM - 'The wrong child' from the Green Album, 1988. Its about a handicapped child...real tearjerker....saddest song I know.

I LOVE Edie Brickell.

Over - Embrace


Time of your life (good riddance) - Green Day


Dry Your Eyes -The Streets

beautiful boy (darling boy) john lennon


not meant to be a sad song but one line in it says, "i can hardly wait to see you come of age, but i guess we'll both will have to be patient!"


the song he wrote about hissecond son.lennon died before he sean turned 6

the only two I can think of is Gary Jules's cover of Mad World and John Coltrane's Alabama.

Edited by: sonofelvis

I really agree with the radiohead, jeff buckley, ryan adams posts... But no one in this whole thing said anything about wilco.. does anyone else in here listen to them? their last album, yankee hotel foxtrot, contains some very sad stuff, but in my opinion they keep it very warm. jesus ect. is one of my fav's by them.

I havent gone through every one, but if the beatle-the long and winding road, wasnt mentioned, id be shocked! Radiohead-Fake Plastic Trees, Leanord Cohen-Halleluah, .................................................. .......... .................


.................Damien-Aime?

ok, Im faaaaaaar too lazy to check if these have been said before, but:


Jewell - foolish games
was it Richard Ashcroft or the Verve? - the drugs don't work
Kent - Stop me June (little ego)
Stereophonics- Billi davey's daughter
