I don't know about the saddest song of all time, but "The Lighthouse's Tale" by Nickel Creek is pretty dang sad. It puts me in a depressed-like mood almost everytime I hear it. Almost.

White Pearl, Black Oceans by Sonata Arctica... that song would actually make a great movie if you could flesh the story out a wee bit more.

Oooh, I'll second Dr. Faust's suggestion of Mad World! That always makes me melancholy.

Two of the saddest yet beautiful songs to me are in Japanese.
The first is Kotoba ni Dekinai by Kazumasa Oda. I'll post the lyrics (English translation as well for you non-nihongo speakers haha)

-Kotoba ni Dekinai (Words Cannot Describe) here's a link so you can hear it Listen!

Owaru hazu no nai ai ga todaeta
Inochi tsukite yuku you ni
chigau kitto chigau kokoro ga sakenderu
(A love that should not end has ceased to be
A life that seems to have been used up
My heart yells to me; "you are wrong, completely wrong")


Hitori de wa ikite yukenakute
mata dareka wo aishiteiru
kokoro kanashikute, kotoba ni dekinai
(I can't continue living by myself
Can I love someone again?
How sad my heart is, words cannot describe)


la la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la la
la la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la la

Setsunai uso wo tsuite wa
ii wake wo nomikonde
hataseru ano koro no yume wa mou kieta
(You are telling me your lies
Yet I understand your excuses
The dream of the time when I could accomplish nothing is already gone)


Dare no sei demo nai
jibun ga chiisasugiru kara
sore ga kuyashikute, kotoba ni dekinai
(It's not because of who you are
But because I feel so insignificant
How terrifying that is, words cannot describe)


la la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la la
la la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la la

Anata ni aete hontou ni yokatta
ureshikute, ureshikute, kotoba ni dekinai
(It is truely great when I can meet with you
My happiness, my happiness, words cannot describe)


la la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la la
la la la, la-la la, la-la, la-la la

Anata ni aete
kotoba ni dekinai
ima anata ni aete
(When I can meet with you
Words cannot describe
Now I can meet with you)
"They do exist, the places you can live renewed." -Nobuta wo Produce

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

When I was younger and heard this song play on the radio I thought it was the saddest song ever sung.

That is very beautiful sad song from Mrs. Nordeman. It's also one of my favs.

Who could forget Gloomy Sunday? Supposedly, this makes depressed people kill themselves... but that's just a myth.

Nonetheless, it's quite sad... T_T The lyrics are down in the comments, I think.

I don't know why but "There Will Be a Day" kinda sounds depressing at first listen. It took a few listens until I realized how optimistic the song really is.

"Merry go Round" by The Monkees

A lone carnival voice
Sings tunes of nobody's choice,
And on a vacant lot,
Some one just forgot,
Standing all alone,
Turning on its own.

Weary, Merry-go-Round,
Grows slowly into the ground,
And faded circus acts,
Sorrow broke their backs,
And their sadness cries
From their staring eyes.

Still small children come
And bring your harm of play,
Spirits all alive
To drive the ghosts away.

Useless Merry-go-Round,
Tomorrow they'll tear you down,
To build the parking lot
If it lives or not,
It was just a toy,
All it brought was joy

You really have to hear the haunting melody to get the full effect:

She yells, "if you were homeless
Sure as h*ll you'd be drunk
Or high or trying to get there
Or begging for junk
When people dont want you
They just throw you money for beer."

Her name was November
She went by Autumn or Fall
It was seven long years
Since the Autumn when all
Of her nightmares grew fingers
And all of her dreams grew a tear

She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still

She screams, "Well if you've never
Gone at it alone, well then go ahead
You better throw the first stone
You got one lonely stoner
Waiting to bring to her knees"


She dreams about heaven
Remembering hell
As a nightmare she visits
And knows all too well
Every now and again
When she's sober she brushes her teeth

She's somebody's baby...

Today was her birthday
Strangely enough
When the cops found her body
At the foot of the bluff
The annonymous caller this morning
Tipped off the police

They got her I.D
From her dental remains
The same fillings still intact
The same nicotine stains
The birth and the death were both over
With no one to grieve

She's somebody's baby...

Red's "Start Again" is pretty sad and angsty, I think:

And I remember everything, everything I loved
I gave it away like it wasn't enough
All the words I said and all You forgive
How could I hurt You again?
What if I let You win?
What if I make it right?
What if I give it up?
What if I want to try?
What if You take a chance?
What if I learn to love?
What if, what if we start again?

On this time I can make it right
With one more try
Can we start again?
In my eyes You can see it now
Can we start again?
Can we start again?

The emptiness inside me I wonder if You see
It's my mistake and it's hurting me
I know where we've been
How'd we get so far?
What if, what if we start again?

I'm lost inside the pain I feel without You
I can't stop holding on
I need You with me
I'm caught inside the pain
Can we ever start again?
I'm lost without You

One more try
Can we start again?
In my eyes can You forgive me now?
Can we start again? Can we start again?
One more try
Can we start again? Can we start again?
Can You forgive me now?
Can we start again?

Carrying Cathy by Ben Folds. This song kills me. Always reminded me of my fiancee's fight with clinical depression.

Rediscovered this song....

"Here By Me" by 3 Doors Down

I hope you're doing fine out there without me
'Cause I'm not doing so good without you
The things I thought you'd never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood

So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear
And living without you

And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

I can't take another day without you
'Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I've been waiting so long just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong

Sorry I can't always find the words to say
But everything I've ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you're not here

Sorry I can't always find the words to say
Everything I've ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

HEADPHONES -by- JARS OF CLAY.

I don't have to hear it
If I don't want to
I can drown this out
Pull the curtains down on you
It's a heavy world
It's too much for me to care
If I close my eyes
It's not there

With my headphones on (x4)

We watch television
But the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama
So the hurt is never felt
I take in the war fires
And I'm chilled by the current events
It's so hopeless
But there's a pop song in my head

phones on
With my headphones on (x7)

At the tube stop
You sit down across from me
I think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
And I wanna tell you
Everything will be ok
But you wouldn't hear it
So we go our separate ways

with our headphones on

I don't wanna be the one who
Tries to figure it out
I don't need another reason
I should care about you
You don't wanna know my story
You don't wanna own my pain
We're living in a heavy, heavy world
And there's a pop song in my head
yeah there's a pop song in my head

Yeah it's a heavy world
Oh no, I don't wanna have to hear it
Heavy world

No, I don't wanna have to hear it (x3)

Broken Inside-We as Human

I'm not ready yet
To say goodbye to you
So many things that I wanted to do
Like hold you close until you love me to

I don't understand
Just why you're letting go
I know you'd love me if you only knew
I am not a monster growing inside of you

Now I cry, Broken inside
Now everything in my world seems wrong
Life is not a game
For boys and girls to play
And simply change the rules
When it don't turn out your way

What gives us the right?
To end a child's life
All your excuses can't remove the pain
That they feel when we decide to take their breath away

So just close your eyes
Pretend they're not alive
All of your lying can't destroy the truth
It's babies that we murder with our right to choose
"Who is this?" they said to Me
'That the wind and waves obey
Come, let's hang Him on a tree
That His reign should pass away'
But here I am I say to you
Though you turn away, it is My will
To love you for forevermore
Peace be still, peace be still

Take It Like A Woman - Alice Cooper

I bet ya never thought
That it would never turn out like this
Mama's little girl
Daddy's little princess
But somewhere in your fairy tale
Everything went wrong
Now the sun don't shine
The words don't ryhme
You're out of time
You've been beaten down
Kicked around, On the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
Ya thought you had your Mr. Right
But he was really Mr. Hyde
Ya gave him your most precious gift
You were his bleeding bride
He tied you up pulled your hair
He slapped your innocent face
Yeah, you were black and blue
He laughed at you
So what'd you do?
You've been beaten down
Kicked around, On the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
And so its over
Your fantasy life is finally at an end
And the world above is still a brutal place
And the story will start again
You've been beaten down
Kicked around, On the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
Felt the pain
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman



Chosen One - A2

A superhero (or more specifically antihero) laments about his personal demons. This was one of several fantastic closing themes for an otherwise very poorly done video game. =\

I can't remember
Anything at all
I've been turning it all around
I'm sorry
So sorry
Is this what I have become

Wish I may
Wish I might be someone else tonight
Sometimes I wish I was never born at all
And I'll try to save the world
Cause in the end I know
I'm the chosen one
I'm the chosen one

I can't remember
What I used to be
Something's turning me upside down
You made me
I love you
But I can't change things I've done

(I'm the chosen one)

Wish I may
Wish I might be someone else tonight
Sometimes I wish I was never born at all
And I'll try to save the world
Cause in the end I know
I'm the chosen one
I'm the chosen one
The chosen one
The chosen one

Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid
I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through
I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

I can't be who you are



The Poet And The Pendulum - Nightwish

The end

The songwriter’s dead
The blade fell upon him
Taking him to the white lands
Of Empathica,
Of Innocence
Empathica
Innocence

The dreamer and the wine
Poet without a rhyme
A widowed writer, torn apart by chains of Hell

One last perfect verse
Is still the same old song
Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become

Take me home

Getaway, runaway, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Forgive me,
I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world

My home was there and then
Those meadows of heaven
Adventure-filled days
One with every smiling face

Please, no more words
Thoughts from a severed head
No more praise
Tell me once my heart goes right

Take me home

Getaway, runaway, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God
Save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world

Sparkle my scenery
With turquoise waterfall
With beauty underneath
The Ever Free

Tuck me in beneath the blue
Beneath the pain, beneath the rain
Goodnight kiss for a child in time
Swaying blade my lullaby

On the shore we sat and hoped
Under the same pale moon
Whose guiding light chose you
Chose you all

"I’m afraid. I'm so afraid.
Being raped again and again and again.
I know I will die alone.
But loved.

"You live long enough to hear the sound of guns
Long enough to find yourself screaming every night
long enough to see your friends betray you.

"For years have I been strapped unto this altar
Now I only have three minutes and counting
I just wish the tide would catch me first
And give me a death
I always longed for"

Second robber to the right of Christ
Cut in half - infanticide
The world will rejoice today
As the crows feast on the rotting poet

Everyone must bury their own
No pack to bury the heart of stone
Now he's home in Hell, serves him well
Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell

The morning dawned upon this altar
Remains of the dark passion play
Performed by his friends without shame
Spitting on his grave as they came

Getaway, runaway, fly away
Lead me astray, to dreamer’s hideaway
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world
Forgive me, I have but two faces
One for the world,
One for God save me
I cannot cry ’cause the shoulder cries more
I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world
Whore for the cold world

"Today, in the year of our Lord 2005,
Tuomas was called from the cares of the world
He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day
The music he wrote had too long been without silence
He was found naked and dead
With a smile in his face, a pen and 1000 pages of erased text"

Save me!

Be still, my son
You're home
Oh when did you become so cold?
The blade will keep on descending
All you need is to feel my love

Search for beauty, find your shore
Try to save them all, bleed no more
You have such ocean's within
In the end
I will always love you

The beginning

Showbread - Mathias Replaces Judas

This song always makes me feel sad when I hear it, in a good way.

it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit,
the sun has scorched the rising plans;
alas they have no root, the bleached bones of animals bound by leather strips,
dance through the air with laughter as i wield this wicked whip,
as you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart,
so easily i disparage, self-seeking the work of my art,
and there you have come to me at the moment i bathe in my sorrow,
so in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow,
where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?
and offer to wash my feet as i offer to disobey you,
your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail,
so faithfully and dutifully i award you with betrayal,
the weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs,
as i walk past a smile i cast, fervor in my stead,
but my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now,
i lay in this field by Judas' bowels and anticipate the plow,
i can not be forgiven; my wages will be paid,
for those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved,
and where would i fit Jesus?
what place is left for me?
the price of atonement is more than i've found to offer up as my plea,
Jesus my heart is all i have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy,
this simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough,
for your body that was broken, how can this be enough?
by me you were abandoned, by me you were betrayed,
yet in your arms and in your heart forever i have stayed

Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness will descend,
for you have loved me forever, and your love will never end



Thursday - Steps Ascending

Steps ascend to a loaded gun
The scent of matches hangs in the air
A lit one flickers out in a heart beat
We don't want to see this:
A flash of light that's letting go of an empty bullet case
By the time it hits the ground he's out of reach
(Let go, let go)
Out reach
(Let go, let go)
Out reach
(Let go, let go)
out reach
(let go, let go)
Out reach
(Let go, let go)
(Out of reach)
The wolves are closing in
There's no room left to make amends
Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?
All the time we've wasted
(Wasted)
Spent fighting
(Fighting)
It'll burn in the fire of our regret
All the time we've wasted
(Wasted)
Spent fighting
(Fighting)
It's blood and it's running down the stairs
Freeze the frame
Between the gunshot and the hole it makes
(A spinning bullet hangs in the middle
There's no way to stop it
It will surely hit the mark)
You can try to understand but i'm giving up
Giving up
Giving up
They synapse fires, it's right on time, but i'm giving up
Giving up
(Giving up)
Giving up
Giving up
Giving up
This should always stay out of reach
(Let go, let go)
Out reach
(Let go, let go)
Out reach
(Let go, let go)
out reach
(let go, let go)
Out reach
(Let go let go)
The wolves are closing in
There's no room left to make amends
Do you remember when we'd fly that kite so high?
All the time we've wasted
(Wasted)
Spent fighting
(Fighting)
It'll burn in the fire of our regret
All the time we've wasted
(Wasted)
Spent fighting
(Fighting)
It's blood and it's running down the stairs
I ran down the stairs and into the garden
Put both my hands into the soil
In the spring you will bloom
Like her heart through the blouse in the back of the ambulance
As it turned and turned in the streets
(Out of reach, out of reach)
Just one more turn, won't you come back to me?
(Out of reach, out of reach)
As it turned on its red lights
(Out of reach, out of reach)
You were turning into red roses
Red roses
Red roses
Red roses
But I'm not giving up

This song always gives me a feeling of sadness/hope/sobering-something-or-other that's very hard to define.

"The Tide Began to Rise" by Demon Hunter

I don't belong here
I never saw this on the path I walk
The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor
It's getting so hard
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I can't remember
The way it was when everything felt right
My mouth held shut and eyes sealed tight with control

So I remember on the inside

I've found
A dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore
Somehow
I won't stop feeding the pain
My heart's just the same as before
I've found
A dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore
And somehow

So now I'm stuck here
Between the guilty and the insincere
The words I spoke have left here all alone
I should have known this
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise
I wish it all gone
I could've burned it when I had that choice
Now I'd die to kill this noise in my head

So I remember on the inside

I've found
A dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore
Somehow
I won't stop feeding the pain
My heart's just the same as before
I've found
A dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore
And somehow

(So I remember on the inside
The inside)

If this is all the love my spirit can give
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live
If this is all the love my spirit can give
(Just take it back tonight)
There is not a reason more to live...

To Lose the Sun by Neverland feat. Hansi Kursch.. I just found this song the other day and it's quite sad. Really closing my eyes and listening to it and picturing it in my head, I actually started tearing up during the chorus and I NEVER do that... but ya

Couldn’t see it your face
There was a cold in your gaze
Was like a maze of words
Doctors couldn’t ease your pain

I remember your smile
Why?

I remember your first birthday
I remember your first gift to me

They were all great
You were there staring at me
With hopes in your eyes

And thoughts in your head
You were there trying to say
“Father please save me now”

No father is to lose a son
No sun should leave the sky
To the dust, to a shadow
Why have you gone?
I ask you now

Life is now leaving you
Like an empty hole you are
I hold your body to catch your breath
Pretending that you are alive

I remember your cries
Lies!

I cannot lose you now my dear
No more dead angels I want to see

No more tales of hope, only want to see you alive
Please walk again with me

No more lies of faith, just to see you dead
Want to see you back, still smiling

No father is to lose a son
No sun should leave the sky
To the dust, to a shadow
Why have you gone?
I ask you now

Nothing’s left
No more games
Only holes, without meanings
No more tales, no more a kiss
Just one more day, before it ends.

What has happened to me?
Is this the fate?
Or another sad tale to end that I had to see?

No more tales, no more a kiss
Just one more day, before it ends
No more tales, no more a kiss
Only a suffering, just your death

No father is to lose a son
No sun should leave the sky
To the dust, to a shadow
Why have you gone?
I ask you now

Why have you left me?
You’ve taken him from me, he is gone...
"Take me down, shake me out. Give me a brain, that I might know You better"

This song got me depressed last Sunday, and I'm not even quite sure why. It's not the saddest song ever.... Maybe it has something to do with the music, which is heart-breakingly beautiful.

"For You Only" by Trading Yesterday

Blinding darkness surrounds me
And I am reaching for you only
This hopelessness that drowns
All that I believe
Will be the one thing that I need
For you only

There's a hunger, it's slowly growing
Chasing shadows, but never knowing
If all that I have done
Is keeping me from you
Then can the arms of mercy bring the rescue?
To return to you

But I'm so far
But I'm so far
But I'm so far
So far from home
So far from home

Keep on running farther, faster
And keep on searching, for this haunting has an answer
And I know you will find me in orbit
For I am breathing only for this
For you only
For you only
For you...

But I'm so far
But I'm so far
But I'm so far
So far from home

So far from home, yeah
I am so far, so far
So far from home
So far from home

This one's terrible in an extraordinary way, especially since I have a cousin (who was my best friend in the whole world) that committed suicide a couple of years ago.

Why - Rascal Flatts

You must've been in a place so dark,
You couldn't feel the light
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are, gathered,
In our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Oh, why?
That's what I keep asking
Was there anything, I could have said or done?
Oh, I
Had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong, and why
You'd leave the stage in the middle of a song

Now in my mind I keep you frozen
As a seventeen year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion,
No matter what the game,
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Oh, why?
That's what I keep asking
Was there anything, I could have said or done?
Oh, I
Had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows
What went wrong, and why
You'd leave the stage in the middle of a song

Now the oak tree's swaying,
In the early Autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining, on my face
Through tangled thoughts I hear,
A mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place

Oh, why?
There's no comprehending
And who am I,
To try and judge or explain?
Oh, but I,
Do have one burning question
Who told you life,
Wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied,
And now you're gone, and we cry

Cause it's not like you,
To walk away in the middle,
Of a song...
Your beautiful song...
Your absolutely, beautiful song...
[color="Lime"]To ten million fireflies,
I'm wierd cause I hate good byes,
I got misty eyes as they said farewell...
Fireflies - Owl City
Everyone complains about how mainstream they are, but...they're still amazing.
