music What is the saddest song you have ever heard?

[hatefulsuffering]

What truly captivating, gut wrenching, emotional songs do you cry to at night?

Came here to post this, definitely a song that encapsulates the definition of sadness.

 

[Christopher Hitchens]

This is not a love song by Public Image Limited

I just discovered John Lydon recently, idk how I missed his music!

 

[Torta Gordita]

My Immortal by Evenessance. That guitar solo towards the end really balances out all the emotions though

All a that. It gets me much every time.

Guns N’ Roses should stop touring they make me cry how bad they are now

I didn't even KNOW they were STILL going. I've heard a couple new songs and was NOT excited about them. I expect so in this day n age that they have lost it.. I've not seem them live since 1998 ish..
I've not listened to ANY new albums either. Hahaha. Some bands DO go downhill as they getta wee bit older. And THEY are one of them.. i like their first 3 or 4 albums and That's it. 😁😬😬😰

Richard Thompson - Taking My Business Elsewhere


Gloomy and heartbreaking in an unusual surly kind of way

Guns N’ Roses should stop touring they make me cry how bad they are now

I ditched them after Appetite (and Lies) and never came back.

Although not a sad song as such this is a song I play quite a lot as it has some emotional significance. I was always a Bowie fan but had never saw this Tina and Bowie duet until the night my son died. U was in the hospital room with my wife by his bedside when this came on the tv. I am not religious but the words really made me think. I will love you till die I will meet you in the sky tonight. I know it was coincidental but it still is a sad and at the same time a memorable song to me.

Yes it was, I have been to a few of his concerts the first one being his Ziggy Stardust farewell concert Glasgow 1973. That was the days most big acts played in old cinemas and theatres and not the massive venues they play in these days.

My Immortal reminds me of my Son.
