Title: Saddest Song you know Post by: DrG on August 27, 2014, 08:42:07 AM Since there was a mention of no good topics I thought I would make one for what was going through my head. I was listening to Pandora and noticed that a lot of the old songs I listened to when I was younger were really sad. I remember back in med school one of my classmates told me about a Natalie Merchant song called My Beloved Wife - to this day I would say that still takes the cake for the saddest song I have ever heard. Basically it would be the equivalent to the opening scene of Up where the man loses his wife of so many years.
So please share whatever song you feel is a real downer or at least draws a lot of sympathy or empathy. Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: FFrost on August 27, 2014, 09:35:19 AM Try :

by Big Fuckin Crash Seriously Shannon is the saddest song I ever heard. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Wpn3dFrEs Quote Here's a great song from our friend Henry Gross about a Big Red Irish Setter named Shannon. The story goes that back in the day when Beach Boy Brian Wilson was bedridden with depression, NOTHING could get him out of his bedroom. His family and friends after time were befuddled, fit to be tied and had no idea how to help their friend and brother. Finally, a family friend came by and gave Brian a little Irish Setter Puppy that Brian named Shannon. Well guess what? Shannon's charisma and love got Brian out of bed, and not only out of bed but he was actually active. In fact, Brian and Shannon romped on the beaches of Southern California daily for months. Brian and Shannon would play in the surf., finally Brian's life was coming back together and happiness surrounded him with Shannon's love. Until one horrible day when Shannon was carried out to sea and never to be seen again. Brian's heart was broken and he was crushed. Needless to say, Beach Boy Brian Wilson was bedridden again. This is a beautiful song by Henry Gross, if you listen to the lyrics, you can picture Brian and Shannon playing in the surf. Second runner up is Honey. His wife died. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=59BZxgohr9g Quote See the tree, how big it's grown But friend it hasn't been too long It wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig Then the first snow came And she ran out to brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited Slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed till I cried She was always young at heart Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago And it would sure embarrass her When I came in from workin' late 'Cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly late, late show And honey, I miss you And I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you If only I could She wrecked the car and she was sad And so afraid that I'd be mad But what the heck Though I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me And hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly And caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of the day And it was in the early Spring When flowers bloom and robins sing She went away And honey, I miss you And I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you If only I could One day while I was not at home While she was there and all alone The angels came Now all I have is memories of Honey And I wake up nights and call her name Now my life's an empty stage Where Honey lived and Honey played And love grew up And a small cloud passes overhead And cries down on the flower bed That Honey loved And see the tree how big it's grown But friend it hasn't been too long It wasn't big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: Dfrost on September 01, 2014, 11:05:16 AM Michael Jackson - Ben

The Cash version is fine, but why do people always forget about Nine Inch Nails when talking about it? Is Cash's version really that much better?

The Cash version is fine, but why do people always forget about Nine Inch Nails when talking about it? Is Cash's version really that much better? Because Johnny Cash died right after that was released. It was like his sung his own requiem mass. If you watch the video it shows a lot of the mistakes he made in his life especially with June Carter. I don't think it's sad as much as it's creepy. Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: blackaim18 on September 01, 2014, 02:55:16 PM really need's to be a song or can it be a instrumental too ?
Well i'll add 2 of them. 1. Tupac - dear mama [song] 2. Naruto - sadness and sorrow [ instrumental ] . will get you some goose bumps. Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: BiTJack on September 01, 2014, 03:21:44 PM Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: deepestfear on September 02, 2014, 04:12:33 AM I think Unbreak my Heart by Toni Braxton is a particularly sad song
It helps if you have a voice like Toni to render the song, obviously Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: Gleb Gamow on September 02, 2014, 07:29:09 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7ZI1iqDa3s good taste Dank with Pink floyd.

Holy shit! She's still alive at 97. Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: DreadIsBack on September 02, 2014, 07:39:23 AM Titanic OST for sure
Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: Honeybooboo on September 02, 2014, 09:30:30 AM Hard to say what is the saddest song as I've never really thought about it, but there are parts of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody that are pretty sad, but I really love the song overal and the change in tempos.

He made that song right after his son fell out of the window and died. Great song indeed!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxPj3GAYYZ0 Want to add Elvis Presley-In the Ghetto Tupac-Changes Pink Floyd -Wish you were here Eminem-Stan Prince -Purple Rain how can be Stan or Wish you were here be the saddest song? :v ok, they are sad, but both of them talks about 1 single person... Try alice in chains - nutshell, or even pink floyd - sorrow. Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: cbeast on September 03, 2014, 12:39:05 AM "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town"
This is also my favorite anti-war song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJGZt3X6uU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJGZt3X6uU) Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: Winner on September 03, 2014, 12:40:14 AM Linkin Park - My December

Or maybe you have become Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd - The Wall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DqK2PkFgtw)
I too think Eminem's Stan is a very sad song, but I think Eminem - Space Bound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JByDbPn6A1o) is even more so. Since I could go on forever listing sad songs, I'll just add One that you probably wouldn't think of. Metallica - One (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM8bTdBs-cw) Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: DrG on September 03, 2014, 07:19:22 AM Titanic OST for sure Yes. For an orchestral track that has a little harmony in it does sound very sad. Every since that movie I can always recognize Horner's work since he uses a lot of the same styles in other movies. Never An Absolution is right up there (for being down there). Title: Re: Saddest Song you know Post by: ObscureBean on September 03, 2014, 09:19:26 AM Lacrimosa - Mozart
The most soul wrenching song I've heard to this day. |
