Saddest songs

[KSharon]

Stay With Me

 

[Folim]

Thom Yorke - Ingenue . One of the saddest song for me

"Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven"
Youtube : YouTube .
Clapton's son died in a car accident and this song is dedicated to him... I became very sad when I listen to it. I even write my document with the help of writing apps and its origin. This is how the song begins:
"Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven"

For me,

Six More Miles by The Residents

Two songs come to mind that have not been mentioned yet:

Society – Eddie Vedder (in the context of the movie - Into the Wild)

The Yardbirds - Still I'm Sad

See the stars come falling down from the sky,
Gently passing, they kiss your tears when you cry.
See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face,
See the rain hide away in disgrace.
Still I'm sad.
For myself my tears just fall into dust,
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost.
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart,
Let the rain fall, for we are apart.
Still I'm sad,
Still I'm sad,
Oh, Still I'm sad.

At my age, I get a little misty every time I listen to "The Dutchman"

Steve Goodman, Makem and Clancy, lots of other versions out there.

Don't give up - So - Peter Gabriel (featuring Kate Bush)

 

[synonymous]

Just be glad that I don't have a "nuke" button
I'd put us all out of misery

Autumn Reveries - Johnny Pearson.
Amazing instrumental

[e3k]

for me this one: mono
although it is more a representation of leaving great sadness.

A verison of the Italian song Caruso was played as we left the funeral mass for my uncle. It still affects me.

Frank Zappa's Watermelon in Easter Hay is an incredible evocation of anguish, in the form of a guitar solo.

 

[chrisb]

Yes, Joe’s last “imaginary guitar” solo- along with “WishYou Were Here” for my money one of the all time great solos.

As should be expected with most of Frank’s lyrics, much would be redacted here.

 

[Dave R]

Patty Griffin - Not Alone

The people who make music are just genius. Some music is really wonderful. For example, the theme music of power game. Every time I watch this TV play, I am reluctant to go to the opening music.

Recently, I came up with an awesome idea to create an audio/video social media app like TikTok. Imagine how cool it will be to share favourite tracks with your friends. And I have already searched info about developing mobile apps like that. Take a look at the article. What do you think about my idea?
