Saddest Song?

Thiagowski_ · 01-17-2016, 08:46 PM

I need some help, please.
I'm looking for a sad pop britpop alike song that I used to hear on radio between 00's to 05's. I remember that it had a piano intro very similar to Snow Patrol chasing cars or "the lightning strike" but a little bit slower and depressive but is not Coldplay. I also tried The Fray.
About Lyrics... sorry but it was 10 years ago and I didn't know that much how to "listen" lyrics in English. (Sorry about my English)
I recorded something that could help about this "piano intro" (youtube).

If you want to hear sad songs, listen to Keaton Henson's 'Dear...' and 'Birthdays' albums. Brilliant, but so purely heartbreakingly emotional and oftentimes dark and sad.

Kristin Hersh
Me and My Charms
You can't leave me now
I haven't left you yet

Red House Painters
Drop
i'd like to come home to see you
and embrace your illness under soft light
but then you'd know how much i really need you

Aimee Mann
It's Not
so baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
and let me fall into the dream of the astronaut

Cat Power
Colors and the Kids
must be the colors and it must just be the kids
that keep me alive on this January night

The Smiths - This Night Has Opened My Eyes

Kettering by The Antlers is one that I like to listen to it when I'm in that sort of mood.

There's a video on youtube of Little Motel by Modest Mouse, I don't think it's the official video but it's literally the saddest thing ever.

I'd say Steven Wilson-Routine so depressed

^^^ Several Steven Wilson songs are serious contenders for this honour, but I think it would be hard to go past:

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again... Naturally

Another one I could think of is "I'm not gonna miss you" by Glen Campbell, the context is just depressing enough to the make the song a hallowing cry for help.
