benchwarmer Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm a sucker for sad songs, or as the Murder City Devils put it "I never heard a sad song that I didn't like." Some of these make me want to weep like a little boy. Jets to Brazil - "Rocket Boy" Johnny Cash - "I hung my head" Johnny Cash & Joe Strummer - "Redemption Song" (this song mostly because it makes me miss these guys like crazy) grizzlyfoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefwahoo Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Oh, and Grandma's Hands by Bill Withers always makes me miss my grandma. But I liked that song my whole life, so it's more of a good sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Against Me! - Searching For A Former Clarity I was watching Against Me! when my mom called me and told me my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer and had weeks to live. When I went back inside the venue, I prayed that the band wouldn't play this song, because otherwise I would've been on the ground crying. Thankfully, they didn't.

grantgfr Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 The Cardinal Sin - Saddest Song I mean come on, its the name of the song for goodness sake. In the name of all things holy.

So instead I type it. ha) Lucero, most of the early stuff can be damn sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadetapplesauce Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Taking Back Sunday - Your Own Disaster (b-side on A Decade... 7") they redid this. there's a version with john and shaun that's shorter. i dont know what it was originally on, though.. (warped tour comp???) but i know the remake was a bonus track on the japanese import of Where You Want To Be. i like the original better. and i agree. one of the best sad songs i know.

scottheisel Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime I don't get why this is a sad song. It always makes me nostalgic and wistful, but not sad.
