Sad songs...

...that's sad in terms of the emotion, rather than the slang for pathetic!

Was just listening to Moby's "Lie Down in Darkness" and there is a sad quality to it. I think even if the lyrics were left out, it would still be great...but a downer.

Anyone got any others? Boards of Canada seem to do it pretty well...whether it be 90 seconds...

Or 7 minutes...which is banned in my house because it depresses my wife...

MOBY why does my heart feel so bad

Jason Pierce, the saddest man in music, singing about the time his missus ran off with Richard Ashcroft from the Verve. Hearing him sing this makes you want to give him a big hug.

This song always sends shivers down my spine (particularly the intro)when I hear it but you have to have seen Betty Blue to appreciate it.

Sad in the story it tells, but easily one of the greatest anti-war songs ever recorded.

Aw, I would have thought pighead would be able to scratch just a little bit beneath the surface and see that it is sad if you're a winner, too.

Maybe pighead needs to listen to the song
