Saddest non-vocal song?

[Perticular Elk]

you should visit KSCIAA's youtube channel. He has tons of somber instrumental bands listed there

 

[Hinoema]

Firefly- the funeral does it for me.

Well, hell. Embed won't work.

[Klumpfot]

Probably Voice of the Soul by Death. The song is so soulful, and it makes me truly sad that the world lost its author almost a decade ago.

Mostly because if you listen carefully you hear struggled breathing at the beginning.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

Probably Voice of the Soul by Death. The song is so soulful, and it makes me truly sad that the world lost its author almost a decade ago.

I don't think I could post anything to match this. You win, sir

 

[kasperbbs]

I don`t know why but this song gets me all nostalgic.

 

[Nexus4]

This song brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it

 

[mattsipple4000]

i havnt got time to post a video of them but check out a band called 65daysofstatic

 

[Reveras]

Annnnd I'll just put in some stranger stuff then:

Everything about this first one has a very strange vibe.

This is all out depressing if you are already sad.

And this is a work of art, sad or inspiring depending on how you feel.

After hearing about Nujabes' death, I listened to that first song and couldn't help but cry.

 

[Shoelip]

The saddest song? How about Gloomy Sunday, AKA the Hungarian suicide song?

This song is probably the saddest song I've ever heard (but in a very good way).

I don't know why, but "explore" has always struck me as depressing.

[Jonluw]

The Juggler by Weather report (it's not on youtube -.-) has always had a sad feeling to me.

Also, I don't care what you say. This is the saddest instrumental song ever. If you don't agree, you're wrong.

 

[PayneTrayne]

Burn Girl Prom Queen - Mogwai.

So sad, and it doesn't even need visuals to make you feel the depression.

 

[Bucket0Bones]

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

George Clinton told the guitarist, Eddie Hazel, to imagine his mother had just died and then play his guitar. The result is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard and probably the best guitar solo I've ever heard.

The fact that it was done in one take is mind-blowing.

 

[Urgh76]

The walking away theme from the end of the Hulk, too lazy to find and post it XD
