Songs that make you sad
 

Have you ever been listening to music and were in a good mood...all of a sudden a song comes on and it makes you sad...

I have...and it is Cute without the 'E' -Taking Back Sunday...it reminds me about my last girlfreind...cheated on me with a some guy so i beat the **** out of him...

Well since this is a punk forum I guess it would make sense if the sad song be a punk song or emo at least.

I'm Only Happen When It Rains - Garbage
The Sad Punk - The Pixies
pretty girl - sugar cult
in her bedroom - story of the year
tomorrow - SR71
macthbook romance - the greatest fall
something corporate - i won't make you
just until sundown - further seems forever
breaking the girl - red hot chili peppers
under the bridge - red hot chili peppers
you always say goodnight - juliana theory
over it - rufio
awake - dashboard confessional
best deceptions - dashboard confessional

These are the main ones.
I don't know if you wanted me to put a story behind each song. . . but for the most part I usually don't feel to well after I hear these songs.

And I've never technically been on a date. But the day I figured out I had to dump this guy who I wasn't necessarily seeing, I was listening to I won't make you by something corporate. And to make things interesting, that as one of the songs I was listening to the day I found out that I wan't blinkingtying.

And the day my special someone cheats on me is coincidentally the same day that you die.
I know I'd feel rather hurt and stupid if the person I was willingly showing another side of me to diced that I wasn't enough for them. Sorry but I've got a lot of self esteem and a big ego and I'd take it rather hard if you basically just went behind my back because I either wasn't proving something that you wanted or because i just wasnt good enough. I'd much rather you just broke up with me first and then started dating this other person who I will kill as well unless they ddin't know you were seeing me.

I'm Only Happen When It Rains - Garbage it's one of my sad songs too,
Cute without the 'E' -Taking Back Sunday is another one as well
and radio - alkaline trio

In Loving Memory - Alter Bridge
Your Revolution Is A Joke - Funeral for a friend
On My Own - The Used
This song brought to you by a falling bomb - Thursday

sucks about yer girl. but i woulda been more mad at her rather than being mad at the guy she was with.

i dunno if there are any songs that make me sad but there are some that put me in a "weird" mood.
PJ Harvey- We Float
Nada Surf- 80 Windows
Modest Mouse- Good Times are Killing Me
Portishead- Nobody Loves Me
Queens of the Stone Age- Mosquito Song

sorry i know none of these are emo, but oh well :wavey:

Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime

well this song doesn't really make me sad but it just gets me emotional :)

Saosin - Lost Symphonies

that song makes me sad :(

Anything by Busted... Such a travesty against music brings tears to my eyes...

The Used- Blue and Yellow

waterbaby by Sneaker pimps
pink triangle by weezer should be considered as a sad song and sometimes I find it rather moving

Exit Music for a film- Radiohead
Last Goodbye- Jeff Buckley

I can't pick one Elliot Smith song, there's too many wonderfully melancholic ones.
Sodom, South Georgia- Iron & Wine

lets see...

what a wonderful world is the most depressing song for me. yeah I know it should be a really happy song, but it was played at my friend's funeral, so yeah...it's not such a happy song for me.

Everynights another story- TEN

girls don’t like boys girls like cars and money, boy will laugh at girls when their not funny
ha ha lol

Short Stories With Tragic Endings - From Autumn to Ashes (The bit when the chick sings)

have you heard the ramones version of this song. oh wow, i love it.

I have a mixed interpretation of the song Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili peppers. And my interpretation is mixed, maybe even warped because this song can get me in the mood and it canmake me feel sad or is something I can listen to when I'm sad.

I don't know how I do it.

starcrossed by ash, a praise chorus by jimmy eat world and empty like the ocean by midtown. i don't know why they make me feel sad, i supose it's coz they remind me of him :'(

what interpretation(s) do you have of this song? isnt it just about shooting heroin?

yeah, that's the version that was played. They also played
jimmy eat world - hear you me, so that song always gets me kind of depressed.

Thrice - Stare at the sun -acoustic

soco amaretto lime- Brand New

Tiger Lily-Matchbook Romance
Sunday Drive EN
The Light and the Glass-Coheed and Cambria
Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape-Underoath

Supposedly the song is about drugs.
However, I tend to see this as the perfect love song which seems kinda wierd since everyone keeps telling me that it is about drugs. Like I care. All I know is that it gets me in the mood. And I usually think about being home sick sometimes too. SOmehow sometimes when I listen to this song I get this feeling that I'm drowning. I know it sounds creeoy or something but I used to sleep walk when I first moved here and I don't know how or why but as I got older and stopped I also started to listen tot his song and I got the urge and beief that I could walk across a river and go back to Furiyitani. Needless to say I'm 15 now and I still get that urge.

And now that I'm 15 I also think about sex under a bridge (How fitting for the song title) whenever I hear this song. Either that or going to LA and meeting la amor de mi vida on a beach. Kinda wierd.
I've got an extremely overactive imagination.

and then there were the times when I thought i was gonna die listening tot his song for some bizarre reason.
Like right now, I'm not listening to it but i'm thinking about and being intimately depreived for these past few days I am now imagining myself in LA jumping into the ocean with this black haired, blue eyed, 6'5", spanish asian rock god. Muy sexio. I think too much.

I better leave this thread before I start seeing Chae Tae Hyun on my screen.


Peace out.
