Adds to the overall level of sorrow.

I'm sorry you have nothing to contribute to this thread. At least he added something. GTFO. I'm sick of noobs trying to act supreme.

Aside: my contribution: Dierks Bentley - Settle For a Slowdown. It's country, but hey it's a good song.

I'm sure youtube compression loses some of the emotion, but most of the links so far have gbeen pretty good, although messed up japanese man one started off a little off in my opinion.

Don't have much to offer, but they came up recently in winamp. Frank Sinatra - Moon River and Kyu Sakamoto - Sukiyaki

Thumbs up to The Incredible Hulk and Marillion, though I prefer Warm Wet Circles or Blind Curve (other Marillion songs).

Jane Siberry - It Can't Rain All The Time (and half of the rest of the soundtrack to The Crow)

Annie Lennox - Into The West

Ghost City from the Ghost In The Shell soundtrack - Youtube

Genesis - Mad Man Moon, Heathaze, Me And Sarah Jane, Afterglow

Pantera - Cemetery Gates, Hollow

Puccini - Nessun Dorma - only when sung by Ludovic Spiess - you can find it on Classics Go To The Movies Volume 5 - the entire set is well worth getting, and affordable

Happy Rhodes - 100 Years, Ra Is A Busy God, Warpaint, Ode, about anything from Many Worlds Are Born Tonight or Rhodesongs - I don't agree with much of her philosophy but her music is astounding

Phil Collins - The Roof Is Leaking

 

[KLin]

Diamond Rio - One More Day
Garh Brooks - The Dance

 

[SirPorl]

As mentioned before Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
NIN/Johnny Cash - Hurt - Both are great
The Crow Soundtrack

some new

The Cure - Closedown
The Cure - Off To Sleep
The Cure - Plainsong
The Cure - A Letter to Elise
Depeche Mode - Home
4 Non Blondes - Drifting
Morrissey - Everyday Is Like Sunday

just to name a few

 

[Cadop]

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares to You

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Alanis Morissette - No Pressure Over Cappuccino [Unplugged]:thumbsup: (It doesn't get more melancholy than 'You may never be or have a husband, you may never have or hold a child. You will learn to lose everything, we are temporary arrangements')
Alanis Morissette - That I Would Be Good
Pearl Jam - Release
Staind - Epiphany

 

[AnonymouseUser]

Opeth - Isolation Years

 

[DaShen]

Love You Lately

Daniel Powter's New Single

**EDIT**
BTW, It has Rachael Leigh Cook in the Music Video. ... She's purty.

 

[pontifex]

If I Was A Blackbird - Silly Wizard

it's funny to see what people suggest because its obvious that a lot of them don't listen to anything past top 40 type garbage.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber

 

[dfuze]

I think the best sad song is Mark Wills - Wish You Were Here.

Foo Fighters - Aurora
Foo Fighters - Friend of a Friend
more Foo Fighters songs
Shins songs
Nirvana - Do Re Mi

 

[StevenYoo]
