Only Time

Weapons grade sad song: Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel.

[theoneandonly@lemmy.world]

"Where do you think we are right now?"

[heartyofglass@lemm.ee]

Pack... and get dressed

Befooooore your father heeeeaaars us

Before... all hell

Breaks loose

[katana314@lemmy.world]

For me it’s Of Countless Stars, the final dungeon theme of Endwalker.

[mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org]

For me it is:

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I hope you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky

But why

Why

Why can't it be

Why can't it be mine"

[limelight79@lemm.ee]

Last Kiss. Old school choice there!

Mine was Mazzy Star, look on down from the bridge. It was mine long before Rick and Morty existed.

Look on down from the bridge
There's still fountains down there
Look on down from the bridge
It's still raining up here
Everybody seems so far away from me
Everybody just wants to be free

The saddest song is 2 Legit 2 Quit if you think about it because Hammer did quit, and if he wasn't legit enough what chance do we have

Red Dirt Girl, Emmylou Harris

"He told her - little sister, gonna ride the wind, up around the moon and back again. Well, he never got farther than Vietnam, I was standing there with her when the telegram come for Lillian."

And "nobody tells you 'bout the blues when you got 'em, you just keep falling cause there ain't no bottom, there ain't no end, least not for Lillian."

AND

"Nobody knows when she started her skid, she was only 27 and she had 5 kids. Might have been the whiskey, might have been the pulls, might have been the dream she was trying to kill."

Such a tearjerker, a very cathartic song when you need to cry. Boulder to Birmingham too.

Loreena McKennitt is not in competition with Enya. Them ladies be chill.

[matombo@feddit.org]

And when the laaaaast eegal fliiies, Over the lasst crumbling montaaain!

[wjrii@lemmy.world]

Don’t forget Angel From Montgomery. John Prine sure didn’t sound like Emmylou, but he somehow wrote just as poignant a song about being a woman, even if its tragedy was smaller.

[wjrii@lemmy.world]

Fair. She would never. She’s not that guy.

But I am that guy, and I have a favorite ethereal new-agey soprano.

Melancholy is a warm blanket.

And being sad is not a crime.

[dorumon@lemm.ee]

Me with komm susser todd because it personally relates to me heavily and how I feel about myself.

[rbwells@lemmy.world]

Yeah I have a "sad" list for when I need to cry. These and Sweet Old World by Lucinda Williams and Road by Nick Drake, because he didn't find a road to take him home, and the stories about how he was so depressed he'd go into the studio and lay flat on the floor to record the songs.

John Prine also has that Sam Stone song, that is less poignant and more aggressively sad but so real sounding too.

[ashen44@lemmy.ca]

Build a Little World with Me - Laura Shigihara still hits me like a ton of bricks sometimes, but I'm also a total crybaby who has songs that I can literally break down crying just by reading the name of.

Some Brazilian sadness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=r3PMqvqLyU0

The guitar is beautifully excellent

[other_cat@lemmy.world]

My favorite go to sad song nuke is, strangely enough, "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan

[racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml]

That's the singer for the ending song for Plants vs. Zombies, and the theme song for To the Moon.
