There Is Lonely
Solo
Purple Rain
Comeback
Under the Cherry Moon
I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore
Wasted Kisses
Gotta Broken Heart Again
When Doves Cry
Another Lonely Christmas
How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?
Dark
Anna Stesia
Condition of the Heart
The Question of U
Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)
Man O' War
Sometimes It Snows In April

Any others you'd add? Any in this list you don't think are "sad"? Discuss.

Condition of the Heart - it's so melancholy and sad.

Sometimes it Snows in April - all good things they say, never last.

Kamasutra - because when it came out I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 4.5 years.

wherever u go, whatever u do..sad in a soppy way..always gets me choked up & have 2 remind myself 2 pack it in & get a grip

Certain lyrics are sad...

"It's gonna be lonely," I always thought was sad sounding in a sweet way. I remember crying 2 it...as a girl.

For years, I would sing Sometimes It Snows in April to myself.

Of course, it didn't help that 86 was one of my worst years. Hahaha...

"Wally".

Been listening to this one a lot lately, "There Is Lonely" very sad!

The Love We MAke

Let's see...
I still haven't heard a couple of these... but I'm willing to agree with

Purple Rain (to a degree, there is sadness, the sing-along chorus sounds almost like he's crying at times )
Solo
Comeback
love u but don't trust u anymore
Gotta Broken Heart again
Another lonely Christmas (it goes without saying )
Condition of the Heart
Man o' war
Sometimes it snows in April (again, goes without saying)

some I haven't heard enough times to agree with... and some I don't quite see as "sad"
like When Doves Cry, that's sort of borderline, but I dont see the whole song as sad.
Dark is a split between anger and sadness.

Anna Stesia, I'm having trouble believing to be in this category. The first verse comes off as sad to me, yes, because I've been in that place as well. At least the first line. But by the end, it sounds like there's a glimmer of hope for him.

Otherwise, I can't think of anythign else to add. I think you've got a pretty complete list

the original version of old friends 4 sale

Hey Bluefish... first of all... thanks for the "shot out" lol

And as much as I'm breaking my brain trying to top your choice, I think I have go also with...

1. Sometimes it Snows in April (I agree with you!)

2. Condition of the Heart (Just a classic. Love this ballad... messes me up!)

3. It's Gonna Be Lonely (I've always loved this song. SO under-rated!!!)

4. Don't Talk to Strangers (LOVE this tune also. I played this for a girl I broke up with back in the day... and she was like... FUCK YOU!!!! LOL

5. Another Lonely Christmas (One of my ALL-TIME FAVES!)

Honorable Mention:

How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore.


See ya!

wasted kisses
about loss of life
