    I find this song incredibly sad:



    Apparently based on a series of letters.

    Almost forgot a real good one.





    Someone should redo this thread with obscure songs and songs not in English tough apart from a few gems I've known most of these songs.

    Fantastic thread topic - seriously, one of the most interesting threads I've ever seen on here.
    Really great to see what makes people sad... wait, I worded that wrong.
    Sadness is something universal (like love), something that makes us human. It's really interesting to see how people relate to the second most identifiable emotion in music.
    For me this is one that tears me up every time

    My dad loved this song, it was played at his funeral by a couple of his favourite local musicians and I to this day I can't listen to it without crying

    Memory Of Hiroshima by Stomu Yamash'ta from the show Man From The East sometime in the mid 1970s blew my socks off. I saw the show performed "live" twice and it left such an indelible impression on me.

    Without the visuals, it won't make too much sense. But, roughly speaking, the sad part isn't at the beginning. Everything up to 7:40 is an accompaniment to the silent actors on stage playing out the process of the people of Hiroshima waking from their slumbers, getting up, gathering in the streets and going about their daily routines. At 7:40, the theatre audience is suddenly blinded by the glare of Heaven knows how many halogen lamps. When the vision clears, all of the characters on stage are "dead". Literally in the blink of an eye.

    THIS. This is for me the saddest song ever.
    Because my girlfriend and me had to go through this just a year ago.
    This song is about loosing your child,either sudden infant death, stillbirth (misscarriage) or illness.

    Translated Lyrics:

    I hold you,
    silently sinking so deep
    in every glance of you,
    and relax.

    I have the feeling
    that I never have said enough,
    that time has never asked us.

    Then I close my eyes...
    How will it be?
    To be here without you?

    My little angle...
    do you already have to fly further?
    Just have been here a little while...
    My little angle...
    Are you waiting in the stars for me?
    Someday I will be with you again...

    And if I can,
    I´ll stop time for us,
    so that you can stay...
    Cling to it...

    We´d just need
    this one moment,
    to be here for
    all eternity...

    But in my arms,
    there will be a place for you,
    and forever be...

    My little angle...
    do you already have to fly further?
    Just have been here a little while...
    My little angle...
    Are youwaiting in the stars for me?
    Someday I will be with you again...

    Want you to know,
    that I never say goodbye...
    I´ll stay close to you...
    stay with me...
    Want you to know,
    that I will see you forever,
    even if the stars are closer to you
    in your eternity...

    My little angle...
    do you already have to fly further?
    Just have been here a little while...
    My little angle...
    Are you waiting in the stars for me?
    Someday I will be with you again...

    World Party - And I Fell Back Alone



    If we walk through each other
    As we leave the room,
    You don't have to tell me that it's over.
    Whoever you were then,
    I never really knew.
    And you got no need to know me now.

    You can't see the bottom from the top.
    You don't see the edge before you drop.
    And I fell back alone.
    And I fell back alone.
    And I fell.

    Is love trying all the right moves
    To stop the walls from coming up.
    But I can't look over this at all.
    I'm in some different place,
    Strangers pictures on my wall.
    I drew them yesterday
    I never thought I'd find the time at all.

    You can't see the bottom from the top.
    You don't see the edge before you drop.
    And I fell back alone.
    And I fell.

    Forever doesn't mean for ever.
    It just means maybe some other time or place.
    But how can two souls still eat together
    When life has lost its taste.

    How can we live together
    In bed and face to face
    And not see anyone at all.
    It's time to make a wish
    And let it float on down the stream
    And we can cry a little
    For a time that could have been

    Live it all my love.
    Live it well my love.
    Live it long my love.
    Live it all my love.

    You don't see the bottom from the top.
    You don't see the edge before you drop.
    And I fell back alone.
    And I fell back alone.
    And I fell.

    Actually about a lack or an excess of it.
