This one, the lyrics maybe not too sad, but the music is

And this

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

There is very little in this world that can provoke strong emotions in me least of all sadness but I would have to say this song tends to make be feel sad and I'll admit the first time I heard it the song combined with the show it was used in actually made me cry.

First we have to establish what kind of sadness are we talking about? To me, all Taylor Swift songs are sad. Like, in a pathetic way. Just like herself.

But I guess thats not what you after right?

 

Otherwise, when I'm really really down, I sometimes listen to these:

Not exactly the saddest thing in the world, but epic and tearjerking (atleast for me)

lyrics:

Though you see me now a mere ghost of a man

I once had the heart of a lion

Commanded my ship between many a shore

The ol' Jolly Roger a-flyin

Mine was a name that struck fear into men

And regret into plenty of lasses

Oh, how I wish I could take back those days

As I stare at these empty beer-glasses

I think of the times past when I had it all

I toyed with men's wives and their daughters

And in my pursuit of this ill-gotten wealth

I stabbed and I slashed and I slaughtered.

And for what?

The men that I've fought

Are matched by the number of women I've bought

And for what?

I've killed and I've shot

And reddened the cold tears of children with blood

And If I could go back and make my amends

I'd make all those mistakes again

I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

My ship was the last sight that many would see

As we narrowed the gap with our quarry

The sound of the cannons and splintering wood

Would herald our paths into glory

We seized all the bounty and scuppered the ship

Our hearts hadn't time for the wounded

I took my share and the crew got the rest

And on into port we then bounded

Life has many pleasures, and we had our fill

Of food and of wenches and beer

When we'd tired of the port or had drunken it dry

The time to set sail would come near

And for what?

We heeded no law

Made other men suffer so we could have more

And for what?

We lived every day

With the noose of the hangman a hair's breadth away

And If I could go back and make my amends

I'd make all those mistakes again

I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

Oh I have seen wonders you'd never have dreamed,

And taken my fair share, I must say

Holds full of booty I happily seized

From crews who would not see a new day

Spanish gold came and went, gem stones got sold,

But I knew more lay on the horizon,

Yet the beer was too good and the gals were too sweet

And now in my old age it's gone

These memories were bought with the lives of good men

A price that I paid without scruple

So many souls suffered so I could get drunk

And swagger from brothel to brothel

And for what?

It's been many years

Yet the screams of the vanquished still ring in my ears

And for what?

I've blood on my hands

I wait for my place in the halls of the damned

And If I could go back and make my amends

I'd make all those mistakes again

I'd kill every last one of those bastards, my friend

I don't really think this is the saddest song that I have ever heard, but it does invoke some emotions in me

[FetishSergal]

I think this song wins the sad contest

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ihz79t2Z0

 

If my wish were to come true right now
I'd wish for wings
Please put white wings
On my back like a bird's

I want to spread my wings
And fly in this sky
I want to make my wings flutter
In a free sky without sorrow

That thing I dreamt of as a child
I still dream of it, unchanged, now

I want to spread my wings
And fly in this sky
I want to make my wings flutter
In a free sky without sorrow

[devilsnake1990]

It's not too sad for every people, but for LoTR fans, I think it will...

When you realize it's the end of the great trilogies...

Glad it has happy ending, I never stopped thinking about yuuko gone/vanish after I heard that song...

This song got me really depressed when I was practicing it on guitar.

Sorry for the spamming, but this song deserves a posting too... It's sad in a beautiful way.

Good choice, but only the second saddest Alestorm song after this:

 

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFpwIEfxBP4

 

In case anyone notices, yeah that's the song from my signature. The song holds a special meaning for me, it really spoke to me when I first heard it during a particularly dark point in my life, and in a way helped me get through it. As much as I love it though, now every time I listen to it, I am reminded of what I was going through then, an issue which has since been resolved but I still don't like thinking about that time. Either way, it's still about the end of the pirate era, and I have a thing for pirates, so it's depressing regardless.
