just curious...

I found "Lavinia" by The Veils to be very melancholy.

IInd Movment of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto

If you want me to suffer, make me ball my eyes out to this for the 5 mins.

Definitely Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. The second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony isn't far behind.

Even though i don't listen to any sad songs i think Grief and Sorrow from naruto is the saddest song i heard

There are many with lots of emotion in them. Let's see...

FFXI Opening Theme (chior part) - Nobuo Uematsu
Remember - Hans Zimmer
To Die For (second part) - Hans Zimmer
The Funeral - Greg Edmonson
Elysium/Honor Him - Hans Zimmer (both very haunting and a perfect fade in to Now We Are Free, the hopeful one of the triad)
Terra's Theme Piano Version - Nobuo Uematsu
Death on the Snow Field (Terra's Theme Remix) - I forget, but I'll post it when I remember

There are plenty more, but those are brushed off the top of me head.

Scarlet and Solitude from Ayashi no Ceres, hands down.

For some reason, it's 'Tori no Uta' and 'Natsukage' both from an anime and game called Air (you can find it @ http://gendou.com/). Which is weird, because the first is an upbeat j-pop song, and the latter is soft and in a major key....but check them out. Maybe you'll feel something as well...

Final Fantasy X ending theme.

Or...

Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley.

For me, I think Sadness and Sorrow piano version from Naruto is very sad. Also, for some reason, I think that Alone on clarinet from Naruto is sad also even though it is supposed to be a happy song. I guess I just feel the sadness behind the song's exterior.

yiruma's when the love falls.

it's on my myspace now cuz i've been so down lately.

Missing by Evanescence

Therru No Uta sung by Aoi Teshima, composed by Goro Miyazaki

and

How It Ends by DeVotchKa

Hallelujah
interpreted by Jeff Buckley

Songs created by big talking idiots with no melody, no harmony, just noise

They're so "sad"...:heh:

Aerith's theme from FFVII...it's so sad!

And I cried the first time I heard Battle of the Heroes from Star Wars.

From which movie, and where is it played?

Songs created by big talking idiots with no melody, no harmony, just noise

They're so "sad"...

Heh, I agree.

i kinda thought The Light Before we Land, by the Delgados was one of the saddest songs in my repertoire. its not only the song, its also the anime (gunslinger girl) and the story behind the song thats the real tear jerker. im really moved when i hear it.

All the Feverfew songs. Bethany has such a melonchy voice.

*cries*

the saddest song i've ever heard was probably "Obokuri-Eeumi" by Ikue Azasaki
i mean when it was put with mugens drowning sequence it nearly made me cry

Definitely Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. The second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony isn't far behind.


wow im listening to that song write now and i agree with you it can be one of the saddest songs youll ever here

From which movie, and where is it played?

Are you talking to me? If so, Battle of the Heroes was from Episode III when Anakin and Obi-Wan fight on Mustafar (the lava-y place)

Thats not sad. If my memories serve me right, it was one of them Gregorian Chants...

Ashitaka and[/to] San from Princess Mononoke. Learning to play it at the momment also :D

Are you talking to me? If so, Battle of the Heroes was from Episode III when Anakin and Obi-Wan fight on Mustafar (the lava-y place)

Oh.. I thought you meant "Anakin's Betrayal" (or something like that) when all the Jedis are getting killed. That's more of a sad tune than Battle of the Heroes.

That's also a sad piece...

Even though the lyrics don't represent sadness I have to say Evanescence's "Listen to the Rain". They wrote the song, but a choir sings it.

Love - The Red Telephone

Vitali-Chaconne
Classical piece on violin i played it b4 pretty sad i think

Le Cygne ("The Swan" I think is it's english translation).

Wanna hear something sad?
Passion ~after the battle~ by Utada Hikaru
Saddest song ever; makes you really think

I feel sad when I hear these songs: "Say Goodbye" from .hack//SIGN and "Bratya" (Brothers) Both lyrical and instrumental version, from Full Metal Alchemist.

for me its.....
sadness and sorrow from naruto
aeris's theme from final fantasy VII
and
bratja or the alchemic world from full metal alchemist

For me, I'd say
Aeris's them from Final Fantasy VII
Sadness and Sorrow from Naruto
Parade from Naruto (one of the ending songs)
and I think its Kimi o Nosete by Joe Hisaishi/ Inoue Azumi from Laputa; Castle in the Sky

- "Wakare" from Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo <- !!
- "Fate and Grief" from Noein <- !!!!!!!
- "The Future of Haruka" from Noein
- Schindler's List Main Theme
- "Through Pain" from DNAngel

For me, it's most of the music from Wolf's Rain because I connect so much sadness and crying with it...
- Cloud 9
- Tell me what the rain knows (especially this one! I almost cry everytime I hear it)
- Gravity
- Heaven's not enough
Then some other stuff:
- Story board by the Album Leaf
- Listen to the rain by Evanescence
- Pardonné by Kyo
- Christofori's Dream by David Lanz

yeah, the Wolf's Rain OST is awesome! ^__^

pagsjd

Every Heart
Dearest
Shinjitsu no uta
You Was Born To Be Loved

Aozora in the anime Air

Belonging by David gates and the bread....

actually it's all of the Bread's songs :D

Belonging by David gates and the bread....

actually it's all of the Bread's songs :lol:

Lilium from Elfen Lied

Oh yeah...

FFX Ending (I cry everytime I hear it...the ending's so sad!)

say goodbye by chris brown...if u think about the lyrics youll cry

Bella Ciao by Giovanni Mirabassi. Ironically the song title means 'beautiful goodbye' in Italian. A wonderful self-taught pianist with major skills.

[wograj

Definitely Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. The second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony isn't far behind.

Ooh, we're playing Adagio for strings in the Youth Orchestra that I am in. It's so beautiful, the type of piece that gives EVERYONE in the audience chills down their spine and goosebumps.

I was hoping to see at least one "To Zanarkand" in here... Perhaps not too sad but it is definitely moving. Here's a youtube.. in case anyone needs convincing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLnZ5jcsRpc

Strings @ 2:40 to the crescendo.. so beautiful.

For me, it depends on the sadness I'm feeling. It may be "Kami no Kourin" [Melody of Tears] by Shinkichi Mitsumune (from Yu-Gi-Oh!), but most of the time its either "Venetian Boat Song No. 2" or "Fantasia on a Theme" (by Vaughan Williams, if I'm not mistaken.)

My Skin- Natalie Merchant

Wish You Were Here - Blackmores Night
My Immortal- Evanescence
Angel's Fall First- Nightwish
Murron's Burial- Braveheart Soundtrack
Half Pain- Witch Hunter Robin

Hmm ..
Assemblage 23 - let me be your armor
My chemical romance - helena
Evanescence - solitude

From the Morning - Nick Drake
Ue o muite arukoo - Sakamoto Kyu

I can't decide which.

To me it has to be Let me Fall by Josh Groban. Makes me cry all the time. ; ; It's so beautiful. I always listen to it when I'm lonely.



-xoxo Kitty =^.^=

May It Be -Enya

Even though i don't listen to any sad songs i think Grief and Sorrow from naruto is the saddest song i heard

true i dont like sad songs... they remind me of my sad things so i like lighter happier songs =)
:)

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but how about the "Mozart Clarinet Concerto (K. 622)"- the Adagio (if played correctly, but I keep on getting a tonguing noise :bleh: ).

Saddest...4th part of Cazrdas:unsure:

El Manana by Gorillaz is pretty sad, but it's just such a pretty song; I wish Gorillaz did more melodic stuff like this song more often--their/he's good at it.

Wind by Akeboshi..... It's such a depressing song..... And yet I have it on my MP3..... *goes off to slit wrists (j/k.....)*

brajta from full metal alchemist to me is pretty sad

I have a new saddest song. "Feed The Birds" ~ Mary Poppins.

Pavane by Gabriel Faure.

wakare no kyoku from FMA;;
for some reason i found the piece touching; heh

Photograph - Nickelback

Sting -> Shape of my heart :)
Did someone see the film "Leon" ? This music is played during the credits...

I would say Whiskey Lullaby.

I forgot who it's by, but I remember it because it's the only country song that I like... It made me cry when I first heard it...

String Quartet in F major by Maurice Ravel...it's not that sad if you listen to it only once, but if you listen to it again you will begin to see how sad it really is. I wrote a storyline for a ballet called Elsa based on this piece. My friend is going to help me choreograph it.

brajta from full metal alchemist to me is pretty sadHmmm I don't think it's very sad. This music is... comfortable.

I think the grey havens song in The lord of the rings. After I saw the documentry about Cameron Duncun I was crying D: so sad..

I also like Therru no theme by Aoi Teshima, Room of Angel from Silent Hill 4 and You are my love (japanese version) by Yui Makino.

"Sorrow and Sadness" from Naruto
"Lilium" from Elfen Lied
"Komm, susser tod" from Evangelion

"Sorrow and Sadness" from NarutoI think it's "Sadness and Sorrow".

My Immortal from Evanescence is very sad too...

My re-arrangement of The Oath to Order from LOZ: Majora's Mask. It includes the song that plays when you summon the giants at the end of the game.

Tears me up every time. :cry:

I should transpose it to MIDI sometime...

^^ I did a little MIDI a while back. Search my Composition Thread for it, might still be there.

Yeah I just remembered the second mvt. of the Rach3 is pretty expressionate to my feelings actually. It's a minor and it just reminds you of a somewhat Holocaust-styled theme to me.

might have mentioned these

The Breaking of the Fellowship - Howard Shore
Us - Regina Spektor
Fidelity - " "
Samson - " "
[that one sad sone from champloo] - [the guy who composed champloo stuff]

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails is extremely sad... Amalia Rodriguez and other fado artists write really nostalgic tunes, some see this as sad, I don't always feel this way about it... Prisoners of Fate from the Chrono Cross OST is one that pulled at my heart strings, partly because of the scene that accompanied it

Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat

Saddest song, eh? Wow, I can name a bunch off the top of my head in no particular rank, so let's just stick with the first few that come to mind. ;) I can't seem to pinpoint THE saddest one.

-"Ever the Same" by Rob Thomas is one that really gets to me. I don't quite know why, but it feels strangely nostalgic. This happens to be my favorite "hammock song." (i.e. a song I like to listen to while swinging in my hammock. ='D)

-Half the songs off both of the Rurouni Kenshin OAV soundtracks are pretty sad. Nuff said.

-"Incessant Rain" from Honey and Clover--this one ranks pretty high in my list, partly because of the anime scenes that are associated with it. Even without Honey and Clover in mind, this piece still stands on its own, so yay. :)

-"In the Deep" by Bird Yolk

-"Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre--I'm still debating over this one, as I can't decide whether I think it's sad or just plain beautiful. Oh well. I guess both works. Also, I preferred the orchestral/band version over the choral one, as the sound seems to be much warmer when performed in a band of some sort.

well there is umm....
runaway love -by ludacris
say goodbye -.hack
grief and sorrow - naruto
and more
man I have heard so many sad songs in my lifetime... its depressing... but the wierd thing is I like sad songs.. I think they are pretty. There's nothing wrong w/ that right...?

"Lilium" from Elfen Lied and "1000 Words" from Final Fantasy X-2

I kinda agree with AngeTombe a lot.

"Lilium" - Elfen Lied
"1000 Words" - Final Fantasy X-2
"Bratja/Brother" - Fullmetal Alchemist
"Adagio Sostenuto/Moonlight Sonata" - Beethoven

Oh yeah Lost Rain, you and I shoud make an arrangement for the song Brother... something just for you...

Heh, that would be nice! Thank you!!!

Just get me a midi and give me a few weeks

Inscription of Hope- Z. Randall Stroope

It's based on the Holocaust... words that were engraved in a cell.

the saddest piano song for me is final fantasy too zanarkand

Well Chronopolis, going through this thread, I thought I'd be the first to say "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, but you beat me to it. The song gets me every time, especially the duet version with David Bowie.

Hokage's Funeral from Naruto of course.

Angel - Sarah Mclachlan
Top of the world - Dixie Chicks (I happen to be listening it when I found my Bird Dead) :cry:

I don't really find any remarkable pieces being 'sad' or melancholic. Though, I can hear some pieces implying some sort of bitter feelings, and an example would be Ravel's Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte (yes, it's not the saddest piece, but when I listen to it, there's something that always gets my attention). Being a peculiar person, I literally never find incidental music (like music from movies and animes) 'sad'.

I recently played some sad sonfs on my violin.

Adagio by Bach or Bethoven.... cant remeber

&
Schendlers List. ( I think I spelled that right... not sure)

-"Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre--I'm still debating over this one, as I can't decide whether I think it's sad or just plain beautiful. Oh well. I guess both works. Also, I preferred the orchestral/band version over the choral one, as the sound seems to be much warmer when performed in a band of some sort.

You hit that one right on the money. ^_^ The Texas All-State band played that last year. It was phenomenal.

Also: 'Deathbed' by Relient K.

For me, it's 'Heaven'. I'm not sure who the original is, but the remake is DJ Sammy & Yanou. But that's merely personal - it was the song played at my best friend's sister's funeral, and thus makes me sad every time I hear it (ironically I still like it...)

to zanarkland and "beleive" the opener theme to Gundam Seed

the sadest song I've heard is ... "It's Raining Men" by Aretha Franklin

I'd have to say Yakusoku [from Love Hina] because the English translation makes me remember loved ones I've lost and the promises they made me. :cry:

Sadame from The anime X. It played perfectly at the end of the movie(only way I saw it) but once I finally did it . . . .well emotion was more than overwelming.

(still can't play with left hand on piano BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT!)

That one song from LOZ: oracle of ages that plays when you enter that house where the boy turned to stone is really sad. =(

Now that is some sad, beautiful music.

Here are my top 3 (These bring me to tears really quickly)

1.Amazing Grace (GRANDPA... * starts to cry *)
* cries for about 10 minutes, then continues *
2. Kishi Ou no Hokor - Fate Stay Night
3.Dearest - Inuyasha

2. Kishi Ou no Hokor - Fate Stay Night
Second'd. It's an amazing piece; I'd love to play it some time.


For me? "The Stampede" ("...To Die For" in some releases) or "King of Pride Rock", both from the best Disney movie, The Lion King. Hans Zimmer owns my soul...

Besides that, "Debriefing" from Metal Gear Solid 3 by Harry Gregson-Williams and
"Eight Melodies" by St. Paul's Cathedinal Choir. If you haven't heard it, search the internets for it- it's on the Mother Original Soundtrack. Have a listen...

"Pavane pour une infante défunte"- Ravel

the song that i think everyone who has had unrequited love should listen to:
Vermilion, Part 2
by slipknot, don't worry this is actually a much different feel than there normal songs.

if you go away - new kids on the block
come back to be - janet jackson <---really sounds like a song of heartbreak and desperation.

Speeding Cars • Imogen Heap

You Raised Me Up, by Westlife....
really sad funeral song ><....

of course LENA PARK made her own version in japanese.
basically its a song translated into MANY different lanagauages in the world.

A Road To Walk Alone from Crescendo(eroge)

Even it is instrumental,I almost break to tears when listening to it.

In the context it's used, the song "A Secure Place" from Resident Evil 2 is kinda sad. (Overrun police station, bodies and blood everywhere.) The way it was presented made me feel kinda bad for those poor digital police officers.

The best is yet to come from mgs1 is quite a sad song to me, don't know about anyone else.

Queen's 'These are the days of our lives' is a really sad song as well. Its Freddy Mercury's swan song and its really quite emotional

I have a mixed sad feeling with "Moonlight Sonata" if u know what I mean

I will have to say the opening from Elfin Lied :P

shinkai no kodoku, maybe?

I will have to say the opening from Elfin Lied :P

That shit scares the living **** out of me :huh:
I wouldn't call it sad, but that's your opinion.

One summers day from the spirited away movie, makes me cry.

To Zanarkand
Aerith's Theme
Lilium
Memories of waves and light (FF X-2)

And especially Brothers, from FMA, but the English version. I always heard the (what is it, Russian?) version in the anime, but when i first heard the English one, I cried my eyes out. Suddenly understanding the lyrics, dang.

Lilium from Elfen Lied

One summers day from the spirited away movie, makes me cry.

That or Itsumo Nando-demo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0aqe84wrBY) from the same movie's credits.

Anything from Limp Bizkit

One summers day from the spirited away movie, makes me cry.

I cry at that too, I thought I was just weird :huh:

I cry at that too, I thought I was just weird :huh:

You cry? Thought you were tomboy.

You cry? Thought you were tomboy.

Yeah....I thought so too..... :O
well, last night I slept on the floor last night because I found a huntsman in my room
and when I went to get my dad to kill it.......it ran away
I couldn't trust my dad saying "it's fine~ now go to sleep!"

.....that spider somewhere in my room staring at me while lolling, so I crawled out of my room with my blanket and slept there -_-

Point is - I'm terrified of spiders - does that negate my "tomboy" status? :sweat:

...does that negate my "tomboy" status? :sweat:

no.

no.

Hmm, i think the saddest song for me so far is Only Human (piano version) by Susumu Ueda from the japanese drama, One Litre of Tears

- Answer (Sarah McLachlan)
- Dancing (Elisa)
- Breaking of the Fellowship (Howard Shore)
- Hope and Memory (Howard Shore)
- Tennessee (Hans Zimmer)
- Central Park (James Newton Howard)
- Homeward Bound (Marta Keen)
