I can't find any new sad songs!

[pk.]

I'm in desperate need of some new sad songs to listen to, the ones I have don't evoke the same emotions I want anymore...

An idea of what I'm looking for:

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work, Never Wanna See You Cry, On Your Own
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye, Lover You Should Have Come Over, Hallelujah
Coldplay - Warning Sign, The Scientist, Fix You
Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten, Lord Kill The Pain

Thanks in advance!

Neutral Milk Hotel:

"Two Headed Boy pt. 2"
"April 8th"
"Three Peaches"

Songs don't normally reduce me to tears, but each of the above have at one point or another.

If NMH isn't your thing, this should be right up your alley: Elivs Costello - "Gloomy Sunday (AKA the Hungarian Suicide Song)"

 

[StarOceanHouse]

The Bird and The Bee - I'm a Broken Heart

 

[JoeTheStoner]

Emuul: Love Theme

 

[Jennyfur_Karma_Kin]

Johnny Cash's version of "I Can See A Darkness" always does it for me as does "Don't Forget Me" covered by Macy Gray.

 

[JedTheHumanoid]

Sad songs are pretty much my stock in trade... How about this to get you going...

Sparklehorse - Spirit Ditch

Grandaddy - Underneath the Weeping Willow

Chris Bell - I Am The Cosmos

Enjoy...

sad music

Ray LaMontagne
Citizen Cope
Florence + the Machine (Heavy is haunting.)
The artists above have some sad songs that should be classics. I'll leave it up to you to decide which ones are the saddest from each artist. I love sad songs.
Very sad? probably......
One Republic (its too late to apologize)

The upcoming Snow Patrol album is EXTREMELY depressing. It's the saddest stuff they've done by far, but it's also the most powerful and lyrically amazing. It's like musical poetry, especially The President. And I'm also a huge fan of piano if you couldn't tell lol.

Snow Patrol - New York
Snow Patrol - The President

And also lyrically amazing:

Death Cab For Cutie - What Sarah Said

 

[verso]

I'm going to get made fun of for this, but uh...

Colbie Caillat - I Never Told You

 

[Necr0sis]

Sad songs are pretty much my stock in trade... How about this to get you going...

Sparklehorse - Spirit Ditch

Grandaddy - Underneath the Weeping Willow

Chris Bell - I Am The Cosmos

Enjoy...
