I remember being thirteen and waiting in the car for my mom to come out of the supermarket and sobbing over it. Goo_Goo_Dolls makes me think bleh, but I just heard "Name" today after a long time, and it's a pretty fucking good song. 020111 ... Fli I personally can't think of any song that I find sooooo sad, however, I have two friends who burst into tears whenever they hear "Puff the Magic Dragon". Strangest thing I ever seen.

And what's he singing about -- how could I forget that i had given her an extra key? an extra key? suddenly everything's a fraud.

Remember how cold and rainy it was for the Homecoming football game and how we had to play "If" for pep band as the Homecoming processional court song, and how sad you were because you weren't going with Kai and how sad I was because I wasn't going with someone like Paul, and how that song makes us want to cry? I love those moments that we shared, even though it felt like hell at the time? "My Sundown" by Jimmy Eat World "Putting the Damage On" by Tori Amos "Time" (cover by Tori Amos) "Piano Man" by Billy Joel "So Impossible" by Dashboard Confessional, when I requested this random guy to sing it at Open Mike at JCL Convention for me "Hands Down" by Dashboard Confessional, sung by Tracee to me at a track meet and the song that I would never ever admit to crying to except for the anonymity of the internet...

User24 Type O Negative, World Coming Down Marilyn Manson, Minute of Decay Marilyn Manson, Torniquet Though I must say, torniquet and world coming down don't depress me personally, they are just generally depressing songs Minute of Decay had me on tears once, a long time ago. 030401 ... jane i made a cd a while ago complete with all songs that made me sad at the time, so i guess some of those plus some more would go something like this: counting crows - colorblind sade - lover's rock john lennon - look at me dave grohl - everlong (acoustic) stephen stills - love the one you're with (that's kind of an inside thing) dave matthews band - crash golbert o' sullivan - alone again, naturally coldplay songs off of parachutes atmosphere - god's bathroom floor air - playground love ben folds five - brick 030401 ... /anon [enter] uh promise [reprise], stairs of fire and room 312 from silent hill.

So many things Cranberry..gawd what a voice! Heavenlong by Moonpools and Caterpillars When the Night Comes Down by Judas Priest Ride On by AC/DC Anything Celia..life's essence in stereo Hand_That_Rocked_Your_Cradle Crying_Shame Twice_Betrayed SpecialK And finally..I wanted to tack this on to the end, because it contains some of my all time favorite lyrics in Spanish. It's a gorgeous song. Palomo - No me conoces aun No me conoces a-un.. porque lo nuestro.. fue tan pasional.. que no nos dimos.. la oportunidad.. de decir cosas de amor de verdad.

Ven a mi casa abrázame hazme el amor pero esta vez con una mirada no te conozco, no me conoces a mi sorpresas hay por vivir.

Next, I'd vote for "What She's Doin' Now" by Garth Brooks (I noticed very few country songs on the lists above) because who hasn't wondered how their former lovers are doing without them? Then, I'd vote for "Fast Car" by Tracey Chapman, because of her sad voice as she sings about the dreams that never came true for a young couple. I would have listed the entire soundtrack to Fight Club, but that feels more like the rebuilding stages after things have gotten as bleak as they can. 030908 ... oasis The song with that line in it would actually be Champagne Supernova. 030908 ... misstree cross bones style by cat_power and far away boys by flogging_molly both make me cry every damn time. 030908 ... delial trembling_blue_stars - never loved you more 030909 ... breygris well, they dont make me cry EVERY time, but...

ClairE This has already been listed, but "Lover You Should've Come Over", by Jeff_Buckley. He's a good one for crying to. Looking back to the original request, I wouldn't call this the bleakest or most depressing song ever...but it certainly makes me cry every single time I listen to it. 031028 ... Freak My Immortal by Evanescence Im not an Evanescence fan but that song is amazing. It's all about the lyrics. 031028 ... littleidiot 'out of reach' by the get up kids... this song is actually mislabelled as 'the most depressing song' by many people on kazaa. not that kazaa is an authority on ANYTHING, but it IS a pretty sad song. 031028 ... ill so many songs make me emotional and music is life someone please help me trace this song: it came out as alternative rock in the spring of 97' i only remember the way the song sounded and these words take me down six underground the ground beneath your feet i can feel like nothing else a me a blah me be me i fake my love life i bleed too much ill take whatever your giving not enough talk me down safe and sound... this song makes me sad and it make cry that i don't know who fucking sings it please help im lost without it 031028 ...

K I R L I G B "we were only freshman" -for the life of me I can not remember what made us think we were wise and we'd never compromise, for the life of me i can not believe we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen." play that song at any party and everyone thinks of someone and cries. 040212 ... hmmpf Jane says, by Jane's addiction... don't know why that song makes me sad. and the last instrumental in the 28 days later soundtrack... that one's really nice... 040221 ... everyone is entitled to my opinion that's an easy one. "Clocks" by Coldplay. Bleak, depressing and boring. It makes me cry because I can't wait for it to be over. 040221 ... Eowithien I know this is lame, but "I Miss You" by Blink 182. The first time I heard it, I cried. It still feels nice to hear it on the radio. Its so nice, like something knew you wanted to hear it so they put it on the air for everyone else to hear too. And someone said the score for "Edward Scissorhands." I agree with that as well. 040226 ... ee beep peep "Bell-Bottomed Tear" -The Beautiful South 040226 ... lady lunchbox now it's all the songs about being in love, because now i'm all alone.
