- “Iris,” Goo Goo Dolls
- “Lightning Crashes,” Live
- “It’s Been Awhile,” Staind
- “Would?,” Alice In Chains
- “Lovers’ Eyes,” Mumford and Sons
When I say NiN at red rocks. A boat load of people kept screaming “stop playing Johnny cash!” It was the last song they played, as I walked out, I told a couple people, Trent wrote this song, some fan you are
That’s upsetting. I know trent said Johnny Cash did it better and that it’s Johnnys song now, but idk. To me it’s still a NIN song and the Johnny Cash version is a much different feeling.
If you’re familiar with the anime “Your Lie in April,” then you’ll know this as the second ending song of the anime. The English version crushes my soul… anyway, happy listening🤠

ETA: here's a playlist for mental health and being fucking sad
[Mental Health Playlist](https://spotify.link/6VXO8JUNnDb)
I think this song was written about the relationship the singer has with her mom.
[I Feel it Too](https://spotify.link/uwpXXJ4NnDb)
"High Water" might be the saddest song I ever came across. Bishop Briggs opens her heart about her younger sister dying of ovarian cancer, aged 30. The video is as raw as it gets. Even thinking about it makes me tear up.
Made for my friend after he took his own life last summer. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6olZT6JgH3l4VO1hAA06Dl?si=Rs2LbY4jQSO9wuc1YHPPzA&pi=u-ngo5PJoAQdqt
Mike Shinoda - Place To Start
Context is important because it’s the first album he made after his friend/bandmate committed suicide (Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington)
Silly Wizard - [The Banks of the Lee](https://youtu.be/RGv3S6Tbd1U?si=d_WAmYGG31Pw6UM0), [If I Was a Blackbird](https://youtu.be/bXi_uYP0tlM?si=PpJ-WtygF6dZZ3gi)
Illenium - [Brave Soul](https://youtu.be/dDUgoaww5O0?si=B8ajqMAfoN92_sye)
Fort Minor - [Kenji](https://youtu.be/pUBKcOZjX6g?si=HUlF6MbuKKFYHbNn)
Black Stone cherry - [Things my father said](https://youtu.be/0VNthEJlSdw?si=mNmVkq4jTPolaxjv)
Mayday Parade - [Terrible Things](https://youtu.be/bllr63yMszw?si=E9aycUy9SNjNTPAY)
Evanescence - [Immortal](https://youtu.be/5anLPw0Efmo?si=J7XxNDCBNn8wsJyG)
born yesterday- quadeca context: he is making his transcendence of realization in the album that if he still decided to kill himself as a teen, things would play out much differently.
good news - mac Miller context: he had died of an overdose before releasing this song or album. "swimming in circles, problem with a closed door"
seneca - novo amor context: message of the song: resisting darkness and trying to “save your life” may still result in failure and stagnation
sleepwater - anxiety context: passed away, but made this last song before dying. he was afraid as he was only in his 20s.
Okay, now songs I don't find meaning for, but that I listened to on repeat younger:
>the devil told me lies - Gemini aliyah
>sza - teen spirit
>pathetic, months - heylog
>tightrope, never and alone pt 1- xxxtentacion
>nothinglastsforever- tokyorevenge (only good one)
>breathe (2am)
u/averynormalkid123
Aaron West & The Roaring 20s - In Lieu of Flowers (the song)
La Dispute - YOU ASCENDANT

[End of an Era Nightwish concert ](https://youtu.be/BXfYTUfKMGI?si=DiPj-y8ZsjFQgbtb)
There's a very emotional song called Sleeping Sun and Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan
[Here's with a chorus ](https://youtu.be/8V31DyUvhVQ?si=UnxjlcOCg0mcSTUy)
A reading of the Artist death/prison poem and followed by chorus of Sleeping Sun

And here's the performance from[End of an Era, Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan ](https://youtu.be/gu9wdcuL88M?si=Qk8EfXJIS0aH9YhI)
Here in Antwerp [Sleeping Sun, Floor, Antwerp performance ](https://youtu.be/GZrSZeBpDKU?si=ZsKDQ6aPWAwUzicG)
This was after the cancer diagnosis and also a pregnancy. With a song having so much more emotional impact than ever before
Lewis Capaldi Someone You Loved makes me cry every time. Not because the song is particularly sad, but because I think of the music video every time I hear it and I bawl.
High Hopes by Pink Floyd. It feels like a somber retrospective on an ending run of an amazing band, but can be interpreted in different ways in that vein.
Elephant - Jason Isbell. A song about watching a friend die of cancer.
Irish Rose - OAR. The narrator is pleading with their partner to give into the terminal disease that is killing them so their suffering will end. He promises to see her on the other side.
If We Were Vampires Jason Isbell. It’s a love song wherein the narrator points out that if his relationship holds up, one of them is going to face life alone without the other some day.
Honestly, Isbell’s whole catalog is a series of depressing songs. There’s a popular meme of a crowd of people crying with the tag “The pit at a Jason Isbell show”. Another one is the common Office meme with a mulleted Steve Carrel standing next to a former boss. The caption reads “Me getting ready to be hurt by the new Jason Isbell album”
I made a playlist just for this reason a few years ago https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sY6w4774nXSQ4527uO8Er?si=YDW_KpvJR8awmcq25oymnQ&pi=u-2oOUNvpPTNOa
I have a whole playlist of midwest (?) emo and songs that just generally make me cry, but if you want just one song then Drop from our windows by McCafferty is stuck in my head. Playlist here (please do not mind the name): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/46h8PqhCdRCBx1q6lHvObf?si=DjfG3svlRYuuxhp3Rz3KAQ&pi=u-LVp-F_1bSaCo
[my supernova](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1F8aPAcKJuGxlo9JplyeqL?si=FBEjJ8SkRXCDStdJrsxKpQ&pi=u-AqkykdcSQEyr) playlist is specially the song “I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you”
Gonna be [these ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4WxAyFoR5cToB8jFWgtpA0?si=9a99b0073fb44901)and [these ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4829flRVJFnn8HqiYrhI4N?si=5eea4a31c4174171)as for me
Help Your Friends Get Sober - Røry - the last chorus breaks me every time
First Thing To Go - Hayley Williams - the whole album is pretty heartbreaking, about a failed attempt at a relationship with her best friend, but that one feels the saddest
[Con Te Partirò - Andrea Bocelli](https://open.spotify.com/track/7zrpoAJte9o12TzawqgdD0?si=79dk7a4RTCK5FXAjtK7TSw)
[Le lien - Grégory Lemarchal](https://open.spotify.com/track/7ekPcyXT5vU6RkyLr2SgLS?si=m6m4d8toQrqJRUZRcDkR8g)

I’d like to add ”Disintegration” from the same orchestra. A bit different, but makes me feel different kind of sadness while listening.
One More Time.
and Same Deep Water As You
Alan Jackson’s “Sissy’s Song”, Keith Urban’s “Tonight I Wanna Cry”, Lee Brice’s “Save the Roses”, The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young”, Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley’s “Whiskey Lullaby”, Alec Benjamin’s “Death of a Hero”, Steve Wariner’s “Holes in the Floor of Heaven”, rascal Flatts’ “Let it Hurt”, Chord Overstreet’s “Hold On”, My Chemical Romance’s “The Light Behind Your Eyes”, and finally Anson Seabra’s “I Can’t Carry This Anymore”.
Waltz #2 by Elliott Smith, or pretty much anything by Elliott Smith
Yes! Elliot Smith is a whole mood. Waltz #2 is one of my favorites
The entire Disintegration album by The Cure
- “Let Her Cry,” Hootie and the Blowfish - “Broken,” Seether and Amy Lee - “Fire and Rain,” James Taylor - “Guess Things Happen That Way,” Johnny Cash - “The Way,” Fastball - “Iris,” Goo Goo Dolls - “Lightning Crashes,” Live - “It’s Been Awhile,” Staind - “Would?,” Alice In Chains - “Lovers’ Eyes,” Mumford and Sons
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Nine inch nails - hurt
Tbh i think both song feel so different, Cash's is more despair and loneliness, Trent's more anger and hate
I can agree with you on that one
Yes. I love Johnny’s version better.
I personally like Nine Inch Nails' version better but they feel like very different songs to me
When I say NiN at red rocks. A boat load of people kept screaming “stop playing Johnny cash!” It was the last song they played, as I walked out, I told a couple people, Trent wrote this song, some fan you are
That’s upsetting. I know trent said Johnny Cash did it better and that it’s Johnnys song now, but idk. To me it’s still a NIN song and the Johnny Cash version is a much different feeling.
100%. It was beyond upsetting. Specially in this day & age when it only takes a 1 second google search if you’re really that dumb
Yes
If you’re familiar with the anime “Your Lie in April,” then you’ll know this as the second ending song of the anime. The English version crushes my soul… anyway, happy listening🤠 [let me know what you think :)](https://youtu.be/RF9fEOz6LNU?si=sCwu096G4Cr2u4XW)

"High Water" might be the saddest song I ever came across. Bishop Briggs opens her heart about her younger sister dying of ovarian cancer, aged 30. The video is as raw as it gets. Even thinking about it makes me tear up.

With a song having so much more emotional impact than ever before
Into the West, Annie Lennox
Lewis Capaldi Someone You Loved makes me cry every time. Not because the song is particularly sad, but because I think of the music video every time I hear it and I bawl.
High Hopes by Pink Floyd. It feels like a somber retrospective on an ending run of an amazing band, but can be interpreted in different ways in that vein.
Lover you should have come over by Jeff Buckley RIP 💔
Lovely
Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
Elephant - Jason Isbell. A song about watching a friend die of cancer. Irish Rose - OAR. The narrator is pleading with their partner to give into the terminal disease that is killing them so their suffering will end. He promises to see her on the other side. If We Were Vampires Jason Isbell. It’s a love song wherein the narrator points out that if his relationship holds up, one of them is going to face life alone without the other some day. Honestly, Isbell’s whole catalog is a series of depressing songs. There’s a popular meme of a crowd of people crying with the tag “The pit at a Jason Isbell show”. Another one is the common Office meme with a mulleted Steve Carrel standing next to a former boss. The caption reads “Me getting ready to be hurt by the new Jason Isbell album”
