[DJ Railgun]

"Coin Song" from Final Fantasy 6.

 

[TomLikesGuitar]

Ladies and gentlemen...

I present you the most depressing song to ever exist in the history of mankind.

 

[Amphoteric]

Gloomy sunday

 

[Aphex Demon]

The song that got me into the band wholly, though I find its more beautiful then sad.

Amazing song, also got me into Radiohead.

OT: Tool - 10,000 days (Wings for Marie PT 2)

Absolutely beautiful song, lyrics for this song make it incredibly powerful.

(Just look at the comments, im not the only one who agrees)

Pearl Jam sure know how to write an emotional song.

This song almost always makes me cry when I hear it:

Barber's Adagio for Strings does that to me, but I suppose that's because it reminds me of someone who listened to it all the time, and now ceases to be a part of my life.

 

[revolutionaification]

I am surprised this hasn't come up yet.

I can't actually listen to this without bursting into tears, damn you!

For me it would be


Another one that just kills me.

Thanks; did you take a listen?

Nice pick from yourself. Wasn't that the song from MASH?

You're welcome, yes I did...not bad, but not really my type, and yes, yes it is.

Oh wait.. sad songs... i dunno
Actualy!
Ryan star - Breath!
It's not sad, but it's really got emotion.

Listen to a Mountain Goats album and then come back trying to say your stuff is sad. John Darnielle just has this amazing way of making you feel like shit about life. They aren't "bring tears yo your eyes" sad, but rather "I feel like shit" sad. I recommend The Sunset Tree, but any of them will do. The Sunset Tree is a biography of Darnielle growing up and dealing with the abuse from his stepfather.

Also, anything by Cloud Cult. But first, a little background.

Lead singer, Craig Minowa had a baby son Kaidin, who died at the age of two. This fucked Minowa up so badly that he locked himself in a room for a year and wrote 100 songs, nearly destroying his marriage. From that point on up until their most recent album, every goddamn song was about how sad he was that his child died. Listen to their album The Meaning of Eight and try to keep a dry eye.

And of course, you've got country music, the most depressing genre of music out there. Here's two big hitters for me.

Brad Paisley's "Whiskey Lullaby"

And Emerson Drive's "Moments"
