Sad Songs

Recommended Posts

I dont know why but I've always found Blur - The Universal quite sad

Yeah, I'd agree with that. It almost seems so epic and soaring that (I, at least) feel remarkably small.

Earlier in the thread someone mentioned No Distance Left to Run, too, which gets me every time. :cry:

Yeah I agree, it just has that effect on me, which I can't really describe, just a powerful song I guess.

Also I would like to add Brand New - Degausser

I have the same thing with Dexys "Come on Eileen". I hope that nobody will be able to listen to it ever again, possibly the worst record of all time, ever.

Though it could backfire BIG TIME if everyone just starts dancing in the isles :doh:

I also find Libertines - What Became of the Likely Lads to be quite sad. A lament, perhaps. A lament to free-er, more innocent times.

I find "Don't look back into the Sun" sad for similar reasons. It hits home how good the Libertines could have been.

I chose the songs to be played at my dads funeral back in 1990 when i was 10 , he was big football fan and would always sit down infront of the cup final in time for it to be played so i chose it for the funeral. My lifelong wish to this day is to be able to sing it at the F A cup final watching city , although the chances are pretty slim

We played it at my dads funeral as well for the same reason.

'On days like these' by Matt Monroe also reminds me of my dad dying but that's a long story.

Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Do You Realize - both The Flaming Lips

The Scientiest - Coldplay

Well there's three there for me. I'm starting to tremble already...

Arcade Fire - Crown of Love

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

Radiohead - Street Spirit

Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely

Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)

Radiohead - Let Down

Radiohead, a good group to put one in a bad mood, but the song that really gets me is "Subterranean Homesick Alien" (partly b/c of the lyrics, especially the last verse ).

Sigur Ros - Untitled #3

Anybody that listens to #2 and #3 back to back without thinking of something sad has nerves of steel and is perhaps a heartless murderer or something.

Others for me:

Poor Places - Wilco

Fine to See You - Guided By Voices
