I like the song, but its the only song of theirs I've ever heard, and I have no idea what its really about...tell me the story?

a lot of staind music... IE "epiphany" or "its been a while"

or alter bridge's "in loving memory" definently some of the best music

I'd say it's a tough pick between Mad World (Gary Jules) and, in a way, 1952 Vincent Black Lightning (Richard Thompson). Maybe even Gallway to Graceland (Richard Thompson).

Stairway to Heaven is another sad song... at least it is after you hear it played at a funeral

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.

Yep. Winnar. /thread

(great suggestion... that song kills me)

I just acquired this one and I have to agree.

It's silly, but half the soundtrack from FFVII will get me bawling.

Specially with Aeris dying.. I was choked.


I snapped someones mix cd.. some maroon 5 song reminded me of a girl from my not-so-distant past.. I cant stand it.. depressing song, not sure what the name is.. something about standing in the rain..

Bump... it's been 12 days since anyone's posted in here.

Marriage of Figaro from Shawshank Redemption

 

[AZGamer]

Coldplay - The Scientist

 

[konakona]

for me it is the melody that does more damage than the lyrics. Thanatos is by far the saddest song i have heard to date.

 

[JoeKing]

"Happy Birthday" song

especially when you're singing it to yourself.

Glad to see this thread bumped again.

One song that I'm listening to right now is Snow Patrol's Run. It's perfect for the mood I'm in right now. All I can say is girls suck, a lot.

There's only two songs that have ever moved me to tears. Both in the country genre, and I can't listen to either of them anymore. Just thinking about them chokes me up.

Dusy Drake - One Last Time

Darryl Worely - I Miss My Friend
