Recommend me a sad song please.

[House25]

This is Yuma, great song if you listen to the lyrics.

 

[Dusquad]

There's a modern song called "Mad World" it features piano. It was used in the first trailer for Gears of War.

It was best used in Donnie Darko

 

[the protaginist]

I Have been desperately searching for a sad piece of music, Hopefully aimed at the war section, I prefer piano. Yet I have realized that there isn't much with that taste or else I haven't been looking hard enough. So I was wondering if any of you could just give me a sad song in general. I don't prefer heavy metal, yet really I will listen to what ever now. So if any of you know of a sad music piece, no matter singing or what ever is in there I will listen. Just need some new music is all.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "the war section", but sad songs about war with a piano?



That seems right up your alley.

 

[House25]

There's a modern song called "Mad World" it features piano. It was used in the first trailer for Gears of War.

Another sad song, about a man who commits suicide, is called "Yuma" by Justin Townes Earle. It doesn't feature piano, but it is sad and slow enough. A song that's not as sad but still good would be "Lone Pine Hill" also but Justin. Look 'em up. I use playlist.com.

It was best used in Donnie Darko

Never saw it. What's it about?

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Where have you been?! Should I start with my planned funeral soundtrack endless list?! Of course some are totally sad, others are of a raging sadness, others are bittersweet making you feel happy and sad at same time. Hope they work for you, they all work for me. Would also help if you said what did you find so far and if did or didn't work. You probably know all of the following, or dont know any, or hate all. I tried.

Within Temptation - Memories, Swan Song, Our Farewell, The Howling, Our Solemn Hour.

Evanescence - My Immortal, Is It Something Missing.

The Cranberries - No Need To Argue, Cordell, Electric Blue Eyes, Linger, In The Grave, Daffodil Lament, Ode to my family, Sorry Son, When You're Gone, Zombie.

Queen - Who wants to live forever, Show must go on.

Madonna - Mer Girl

Nightwish - Sleeping sun

Oasis - Wonderwall

John lenon - Imagine

Louis Armstrong - What a wonderfulo world.


And since you speak about piano, its not a voiced song, just melody, but this is one of my favourite instrumental sad songs:

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

I'm not drunk, and I'm totally not waking up eveyone in my house belting this shit out.


Fuck this whole album is intense:


This ***** is fierce:

ETA: Sweet 1000th post, bro.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Tell My Father from the musical Civil War. The link is to a choir I sang it with. Its truly heartbreaking.
