Whats some good sad music?

[The_Real_Crunk]

I require music that would make the manliest of muscle men cry like a little baby.

Sigur Ros- Svefn G Englar makes me pretty down because it reminds me of dead grandpa.

Re: Whats some good sad music?

Let's look at my playlist... hrm...

Azure Ray - The Drinks We Drank Last Night
Beck - Round The Bend
Bright Eyes - Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
Cursive - The Recluse
Death Cab For Cutie - Stable Song
From Autumn To Ashes - Short Stories With Tragic Endings
Interpol - NYC
Jerry Cantrell - Settling Down
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness(first track of first disc, piano solo)
Weezer - Death And Destruction
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

...Those are some of the 'sad' songs I found scrolling down through the ol' playlist. I know I have more, I was listening to a bunch when I got home for some reason.

Re: What's some good sad music?

Did you ever hear any Anthony Phillips?

His early stuff is a real juxtaposition of beatuiful and happy music with terribly depressing lyrics.

The Geese and The Ghost has a bit that goes:

I stood

My Gun In Hand

The Swallow Flew

To Meet His Love

And As They Touched

I Shot Him Down

But Now It's Me

That Can't Fly.

Ant used to play guitar for Genesis, but only on the first two albums. You know... when Peter Gabriel formed the band AT 15 YEARS OLD!!! THE BASTARD!!

But I digress.

Early Anthony Phillips.

Wise After The Event is good for this too.

Got a great song called Holy Deadlock:

Where we are

Is Holy Deadlock

God Had A Nerve

When He Named It Wedlock

Couldn't He Have Found Another Way?

Why Do We

Sit Here In Misery

Is It Democracy

Or Just Insane?

You And Your Yen To Be

High In Society

Speaking Financially

It Looks Like Rain

And You Say

"Boy, You Better Be Nice To Me

I'll Get What Is Coming To You

I'll Take All The Property Too!"

It goes on, but that's enough.

I need a tissue...

Peace.

Sonata Arctica is one of my top 10 favorite bands ever.

Really though , don't listen to Alternative 4, unless you want to leave depressed. I can't even stand to listen to it.
