Tell me about it. I remember the first time I heard it, I nearly cried. And I can't really relate to the lyrics either. It is just a beautiful song.

There's a whole lot of feeling around it. The chords are amazing and the lyrics are just so nice, and his vocals I find fit quite well.

And also here's another one that's nice:

My list:

Ain't No reason - Brett Damon
How to Save a Life - The Fray
Pretty much every Script song I own
1973 - James Blunt
Sing for the moment, Mockingbird - Eminem.
Goodnight, Goodnight - Maroon 5
The A team, Small Bump - Ed Sherran.

There probably a lot of others, but these are the songs I listen to in my darkest moments as they match my mood, or just make me sad. I can link if anyone wants a listen.

I just listened to that James Blunt song, wow it's nice but Goodbye My Lover was way more sad than that one, at least to me it was.

And I give you guys one from the master himself, Vangelis

^Agreeing with that

Anyways seeming towards how acoustic stuff is popular on here these two songs are completely necessary.

oh yeah Vangelis <3

If you're into space-y stuff, although with stronger electronic elements here, this is also quite emotional.
Especially the lyrics, they always get to me.

The saddest James Blunt song IMO is 'You're Beautiful'. lol. But he's sort of the king of whine stuff, so yeah.^^

Herbert Grönemeyer is also pretty emotional, although I've never been too big on him.
Do you understand what he sings about, Tama?

I agree. The lyrics get even better once you find out the reason behind them. The song is just beautiful.

Also, I can't believe I forget Hurt by Johnny Cash. I don't even know how to describe it. In my opinion, I think both Johnny Cash's cover version and the original version by Nine Inch Nails deserve to be listed since they are both really beautiful songs.

I agree with these. I have to say Eminem has some very sad songs and I could list quite a few of them. My favorite rapper by far. How to Save a Life by The Fray is a beautiful song in my opinion and so is the Script songs I know of. I just recently heard The A Team by Ed Sheeran (like earlier this week) and I was blown away by it. I haven't heard that other Ed Sheeran song you posted, but I'll have to check it out sometime; actually I'll have to go back and listen to every song posted on this topic when I have a chance too.

While looking through my iTunes earlier, I found this song and I think it's pretty sad:

And I thought I was the only Vangelis fan around here,
and yeah that VNV Nation is quite the sad one
though I personally think that ATB has done stuff that's more emotional
But hey that's just me

Meh, I didn't find it that sad, Dance With The Devil and Give Me A Sign made me more teary than that one

Sullivan ~ Caroline's Spine. Especially the acoustic version.
A few Placebo songs.
A few Staind songs. A lot might be a more accurate word here.
Wasteland ~ 10 Years. Maybe. Ok, not really, but someone might find it that way.
Disarm ~ The Smashing Pumpkins. Although I've listened to it a thousand times (give or take) and I don't really feel that way.
Fallen ~ Volbeat. Another maybe.
Pages ~ 3 Doors Down.

I might add something if I remember that it exists. Keeping track of everything I listen to isn't easy at all.

ATB - Humanity
I like, although can't really feel the sadness.
Granted, it goes up when the vocals start, but that's it.
Otherwise nice, probably a song that needs to go into my slightly melancholic electronic songs collection.

OH here are 2 I forgot!
They're both remarkable IMO for being touching as hell mixes of hope and sadness. At least that's the effect I get.

Yeah, I guess it's not really sad, but still compared to most stuff released today it has quite the melody
Maybe some of Deadmau5's tracks would be a better go for this

How can we talk about 3 Days Grace and forget Gone Forever. The whole song is about his delusions.

I used to love Johnny Cash but his stuff never struck me as that sad... Folsom Prison Blues maybe?

Wasteland - Shinedown is another great sad song
What About Me - Shannon Noll (I doubt many people know it so I'll post a video)

Like Suicide & Breakdown - both by Seether

Dragonfly and Broken Dreams by Shaman's Harvest could probably be considered as sad songs

Love Somebody and Sexed Up by Robbie Williams

Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers (An Essential of sad songs)

Losing My Religion - R.E.M.

Just To Get High and How You Remind Me - Nickelback

Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil

The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco (Not really sad but I feel it deserves mention)

If I Was Your Vampire - Marylin Manson (More chilling then sad)


Just a few more from me, you're all sharing some great songs :D

That what about me song was really nice, I might look up more by this Shannon Noll person.

And yeah Cash's cover of Hurt wasn't really sad, I guess it just has a sort of more darker tone to it.

I didn't find Gone Forever that sad at all. But Wicked Game, and Last to Know were sad songs as well by them.

I would mention Get Out Alive but it's a little bit too dark rather than sad

You should, he is a great singer. Come to think of it he has a lot of songs that could be considered quite sad really (Lonely for example). I'm going to have to look up this song by Cash it sounds like it would be really good. :D

Oh the Fray has good melancholic songs.

Well, it's once of those nights again. I'm loving them somehow.

So I'm bringing some stuff in the sad department. Please don't be turned off because the composer is Japanese, there are no lyrics besides Lullaby which is all English.

I seriously don't like Taylor Swift but White Horse was an alright song. I can't give any emotions to it because of the fact that it's Taylor Swift doing it. I don't know why, probably because I can't take her too seriously due to the fact of how almost anything she sings is about a boy or falling in love.

How to Save a life, I had found more sad than You Found Me
