Yeah, I know we've done the, "What Songs Make You Cry" threads already. But I'm curious to see what songs people listen to when they're feeling lonely/sad/depressed/whatever.



This song makes me absolutely BAWL, but I LOVE it! The piano, the melody, the way Kate sings it is gorgeous! Please don't tell me, "Maxwell does a much better version of that song", or I will have to slap you.




Another song that makes me absolutely BAWL, but anoother song I love. Plus, George looks HOT in that video, which helps.




A great song to be played during a father/daughter dance at a wedding. I would not be able to make it through this song without crying.




Reminds me of my grandparents and other people I have known who have passed on.

These songs drain me...

Good ones, both of you.

probably the saddest song i ever heard

Great song choices, everyone.

Stevie Wonder
You And I, We Can Conquer The World

from 'Talking Book'

Another good song. I don't even care that much for Prince's version of this song, to be honest. Bonnie does the best version of this song, hands down. I read that while recording this song Bonnie kept breaking down and crying, and they had to start over again. I believe it, this song just gets you right in the heart.

Reading Harlepolis and missfee's posts made me think of two more songs:

"Lovin You" by Billie Holiday (I could not find a video on Youtube).

And this one:

I haven't cried in a long ass time, but this used to do it:

One of the saddest songs I've heard

HEAVY song, indeed.

Can't post it because I'm at work, but the entire "Bitter" CD by Meshell. Put that on after a break-up. It'll make you call out of work for a week.

Are you sure about the title? I don't think there's a such song.

I'm curious to know what you're talking about can you make sure what the song title is?

Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen
Gregorio Allegri's Miserere (don't know why)

Not many songs make me cry out of sadness more than once, but sometimes I cry at the perfection of certain music. It can be the happiest song in the world and I find myself driven to tears by its beauty.

For me this is the ultimate one , from the lyrics to the dark heartfelt melody, My favorite song of all time...A masterpeice.



Another great one is Prince's Purple Rain, The guitar solo Masterpiece.

whats the point of making yourself feel worse than you already do?

i listen to happy music when im sad to uplift my spirits.

Oh shoot, I just did some research, and found out that "Lovin You" was sung by Minnie Riperton, NOT Billie Holiday. Silly me!
