YouTube - Mad World - Gary Jules

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

Children waitin' for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sits and listen, sits and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dyin'
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad world, mad world
Mad world, mad world

This is the one I was gonna post. I aways cry at the verse: "went to school and I was very nervous, no one knew me, no one knew me. Hello teacher, tell me what's my lesson? Look right through me, look right through me"

The song is painfully sad (started crying just typing that line) cuz it brings back the pain, fear and social isolation I felt as a child. It's a beautiful song but sometimes I can't bear to listen to it.

Since everyone posted a rock one I'll post a pop-ish one.

YouTube - GINO VANNELLI- SALLY ( She says the sweetest things....)


Sally, she says the sweetest things
But words won't stop the pain
She's painting skies of blue
While I'm standing here in the rain

I love her still I always will

Sally, she sings the sweetest songs
But the melody is a lie
She's had a change of heart
I can see it in her eyes

I love her so I can't let go

Save every moment save every hour
Gone are the golden days we knew
Someone is lonely in love with the other
And I'm still in love with you

She was a flower child
When she came into my life
And now the decades gone
And nothings turned out right

The feelings gone but life goes on

Someone is lonely
In love with the other
And I'm still in love with you

Sally, she says the sweetest things
But words won't ever do
You're throwing stones at me
That I can't throw back at you

I love you still
I always will

YouTube - The Smiths - Asleep Lyrics

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own any more
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go
There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
Well, there must be
Well...

I wouldn't mind if you took me in my sleep tonight
I wouldn't even put up a fight
I wouldn't care if you took it all away today
I'm sure I wouldn't even miss the pain

But I know I've got to live my life
And roll around on the ground and feel the strife
And realize along the way that I'm nothing more
Than a grain of salt in the salt of the earth
And everything is grace

So come on with the darkness
Come on with the fear
Cause I've got to start somewhere
And it might as well be here

When I'm finally naked and standing in the sunlight
I'll look back at all of this selfishness and foolish pride
And laugh at myself

Well, whenever I think of sad songs, I tend to look more at movies that what I actually listen to (although I know a few that aren't from movies that are sad) Although, I don't cry to these except for maybe the score for 9/11 because it reminds me of how depressed I would be if my boyfriend were to die I mean... the score always plays in my head whenever I have bad daydreams about him dying.

"Goodbye May Seem Forever", I've picked this song out to make a tribute animation for my boyfriend when he actually does go because this song reminds me of us together so much. God.. even now I'm getting choked up just thinking about it...
YouTube - Goodbye may seem Forever- FatH (English)

"Tears of an Angel" Yes I know this is an AMV but.. I think it's easier to get the emotion of the song from seeing images from movies that just watching a still image.
YouTube - Animash - Tears Of An Angel (Rest in Peace...) [HD]

"9/11 World Trade Center Score" The same thing I said about the last song. I just feel it's easier to relate to the emotion to see scenes from movies along with the song. Especially if they're speaking in depressing tones.
YouTube - 9/11 Animash \ World Trade Center Piano Theme

"Inochi Aru Mono" (from the original 1st Pokemon movie soundtrack) Well... Listen to it! What emotion do you get from it? I really think it's much more depressing that the crap 4Kids gave us... All the original scores in the first Pokemon movie were brilliant.

"King of Pride Rock" I don't think anything needs to be said about this one.
YouTube - The Lion King Soundtrack - King of pride rock (Original)

"Burial" For those who've never seen the movie 9, you should really check it out because it's amazing. This score is probably the most depressing. The first time I watched this movie, I got a lump in my throat which is the closet I come to crying during a film (I don't cry to movies oddly)
YouTube - 9 - Burial

"Static" Dear God... I loved the entire movie this came from but this was probably the closest I ever came to crying because of how much I loved Wall-E. He left such an impact on me and to see him gone like that... I truely think that Wall-E is probably one of Pixar's strongest and most beautiful works right up there with Toy Story 3 and Up.
YouTube - WALL-E OST- Static

"Stuff we Did" This... No words can describe how beautifully depressing this song is. I love it.
YouTube - Up Soundtrack-Stuff We Did

"The Claw" Well... I think it would help to listen to the song with the scene but it's still very depressing when you just know what's going on. (I won't spoil it)

Walk in silence
Don't walk away, in silence
See the danger
Always danger
Endless talking
Life rebuilding
Don't walk away

Walk in silence
Don't turn away, in silence
Your confusion
My illusion
Worn like a mask of self-hate
Confronts and then dies
Don't walk away

People like you find it easy
Naked to see
Walking on air
Hunting by the rivers
Through the streets
Every corner abandoned too soon
Set down with due care
Don't walk away in silence
Don't walk away

Haven't a clue why but I unexpectedly burst into tears listening to this today :confused:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sKWrpaEw0k&feature=related


The Cure
Cut Here

"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
"Three long years... and your favourite man...
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me... like you'll never let me go

"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while..."
"Oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just don’t have the time..."
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eye...

So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June
Until later...doesn't always come
Until later...doesn't always come.

It's so hard to think "It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because it's hard to think
"I'll never get another chance
To hold you... to hold you... "

But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - wont be long
Until later...

I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn't - now it's all too late
It's over... over
And you're gone...

I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you I miss you so much

But how many times can I walk away and wish "If only..."
But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only..."
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "If only..."

But "If only...."
Is a wish too late...
