Your Favourite Sad Song.
The one song guaranteed to get your bottom lip quivering and your hand reaching for the whiskey.
Tom Waits' 'Martha' has a tendency to create floodstorms during post-pub hours at DR666 Towers. |
"Good Feeling" by Violent Femmes, and also
"Lua" by Bright Eyes. and countless others |
"Marilyn Moore" - Sonic Youth
there are others though but, today, that's my favorite |
good morning captain
|
Afraid-Nico
|
If You could read my mind by Jonny Cash
Between The Bars by Elliott Smith Beeswing by Richard Thompson Wish you were here by Pink Floyd (I hate Pink Floyd) |
Quote:
'Martha' happened to be on while I was drunkenly creating this thread, so I know exactly what you mean. |
Alice, as we're on Tom Waits
|
Why are all of Tom Wait's saddest songs named after women? No, actually, no need to answer that.

I'm sorry... and I MISS YOUUUUUUU Fuck I love this song. I have far too many favourite sad songs... I'll make a playlist and then take a screenshot! |

Aye "Quaffs whiskey" |
'how do you keep love alive' by ryan adams is currently one of my favorites.
|
Oh man, I gave up at M and like, 60 songs.
I'll just say, "a bunch of Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu and stuff..." |
Hmmm... Just off the top of my head:
Names - Cat Power The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory - Guided By Voices (I don't why I find this song so sad, but it really effects me) Let Down - Radiohead How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens Pictures Of You - The Cure Flowers And Trees - The Bats I'll agree with K-krack and say "a bunch of Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu" as well. |
The Bed, Sad Song - Lou Reed
Lonesome Tears- Beck |
all tommorows parties - velvet underground
desolation row - bob dylan these days - nico too many, ill list more later |
Quote:
any bob dylan\tom waits song really gets to me. sad song by lou reed. more to come |
The Great Beyond- R.E.M.
Malibu-Hole |
Find Me - Husker Du
|
Xiu Xiu - Little Panda McElroy
"I can stop lying I can stop punching my own face I can stop stealing money I can stop hating my own heart... I can do it Because of you" |
There's this Francoise Hardy song, whose title I can't remember, that has me reaching for the Kleenex in my more melancholy moments.
|
Blonde Redhead - "En Particular"
|
Quote:
what album is that on? |
Elliott Smith - Fond Farewell, but pretty much ever Elliott Smith song is sad now.
Cat Power - What would the community think? |
Red House Painters - Grace Cathedral Park.
|
Xiu Xiu - Hives Hives
|
Quote:
That's one of my favorites too. It's so good. |
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
"Caroline Says 2"-Lou Reed |
Quote:
|
Quote:
thats what i was going to put, the live version with mandolin and autoharp is ohmygod |
Fabulous Muscles - Xiu Xiu
After reading Mama Black Widow anyway, that whole album is much more intense. |
Quote:
Second choice would have been Nieces Pieces. |

The best depressive music made these days is by Pink Reason. Check out the "Cleaning the Mirror" album, out earlier this year on Siltbreeze. Lock up your razor blades!
Also, from the past... Indian Bingo "Goon Lagoon" |
Berlin in general is a pretty moribund album. I'd stick a gash-load of Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson in there. To my mind, it ain't sad if it ain't country.
|
Oh, Patsy Cline as well. "I've got these little things/ she-heeeeees got you"
|
I also love "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" by Glen Campbell. For my sins, I've never got round to hearing the Isaac Hayes version.
