The Sad Song Playlist. Here are what I consider to be the saddest songs I know. A mix of emotion and lyrical content. Enjoy! I will continuing updating this playlist as new tracks seem to feel right for this mix.
A collection of the saddest songs I could find from rock, alternative rock, hard rock, indie, progressive, and metal.
What are some of the saddest tracks you know? Any ideas of suggestions I am always up for new music ideas.
Love this attmfk.
Recently been revisiting these somber songs:
Pedro The Lion – Bad Diary Days
King Creosote & Jon Hopkins – Bats In The Attic
Thank you Meredith for your thoughtful suggestions. I took the time to check out your selected tracks and ended up adding the first three to my Sad Song Playlist. The first 3 tracks were from artists I had never heard of before, which is a bonus for me. I now have the opportunity to check out their music catalogs and discover all they have to offer. In regards to track 4, "The National – About Today" let me give you my honest opinion, "not feeling it." I have previously been aware of the band and had their latest album "Trouble Will Find Me" in my 2013 June rotation. I found the song you suggested a tad bit dull; the singers vocals lack any interest. The song doesn't stand out for me, it begins and ends in the same place, it doesn't aspire. Now, you have to forgive my honesty and passion for music. I very much appreciate your thoughtful response and hope you will continue sharing your suggestions with me. I encourage anyone who has ideas and music recommendations for The Sad Songs Playlist Attmfk to share them with me.
Hey attmfk!
That's an awesome playlist, going to take me a while to get through.
I'd recommend checking out the live version of The National's 'About Today' too, that's a great track.
A few of my favourite sad songs at the moment:
The 1975 – Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You
Antony & The Johnsons – Hope There's Someone
Spiritualized – Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Alan Silvestri – Cast Away End Credits
Hope you enjoy some of these!
Hey attmfk, I completely appreciate the honest feedback.:)
I'm glad that you enjoyed the first three and I hope you do check out those artists. I personally think Matt Berninger's baritone voice adds an incredible element to the track and I find the implied storyline desperately sad. But hey, it hits everyone differently doesn't it? Let's continue the exchange!
@Greg excited to hear these. Don't know 3 out of 5 which is the best part.
Mice Parade – Double Dolphins On The Nickel
Blue Roses – I Wish I...
When I go looking for sad songs, I'll usually head towards bluesy stuff:
Etta James – I'd Rather Go Blind - Single Version
Willis Earl Beal – Too Dry to Cry
Charles Bradley – Heartaches and Pain
This is my achingly beautiful sad song list, which I have painstakingly put together to really capture the spirit of melancholy.
Going to throw in a few of mine:
David Bowie – The Bewlay Brothers - 1999 Digital Remaster
The Weakerthans – Left And Leaving
City and Colour – Day Old Hate
BIG kudos for 3 Libras! Wish Tool was available on spotify
Did anyone mention Sinead's Nothing Compares 2 U? too obvious i guess-i'll throw out some more obvious:
Great set of beautiful songs! I love Hooverphoonic, the xx and Radiohead! This is a little different, but I have a playlist with some mellow songs as well. This goes well with the nighttime:
wow- phenomenal playlist. painfully sad, but that was kinda the point right?(:

Cheers!
I'm actually looking for some sad instrumental artists, like BrunuhVille and Adrian Von Ziegler. I don't like vocals at all, so only suggest me instrumental based music.
I always like a good sad playlist! Nice job i really like the selection of songs you have:) Happy listening!
My playlist is packed with sad and creepy songs. It is called The Haunted Hillbilly. Please follow it. I will be consistently updating it.

K&P—Boys Do Cry
Music demands an emotional response, if that means crying then embrace it – think heartbreak, loss, coming down and Sunday evenings spent alone – this playlist embodies those melancholic vibes.
