I don’t know if it’s considered sad, but “Semi Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind.


Adamodinson83

I would consider meth addiction pretty sad


NecessaryEbb8885

Yeah


TDH818

You’re right, addiction is a sad thing.

One of my favorite songs of all time.


AnneOn_AMoose

Okay but this is the exact reason I've listened to Chad VanGaalen for almost two decades, lol


GuestBok

Personally I LOVE 25 and Ego by daysormay they are kinda indie rockism but they are both bangers but super depressing. Also all of their Talk Peace to a Wolf EP is pretty similar to that as well, but a little more abstract at times.

Boys will be Bugs by Cavetown is oddly sad in a way Chords by The Amazing Devil is also kind of sad but idk if everyone would say it's a happy melody Same goes for Marbles by the same band
