The Top Ten

1
My Immortal - Evanescence
This song isn't just sad because of the lyrics but it means an awful lot to me. Every time I here it I cry and think about the memories.
I'd never heard this song until I saw this list. It's truly beautiful. Like a lament to the world. Evanescence made a very strong connection with all those who listen.
Really awesome... With the voice of amy lee, and melodic music is expressing it - the pain... Great song

2Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
Eric clapton wrote about his son, its real, there is nothing more devastating than losing your child, relationships mean nothing compared to looking at yourself in a tiny form,
and having to watch it die
I have also lost a child. I have tears and happiness in heaven, can't wait to see my son again!
I think the reason for writing this song is heart rendering.
I can't imagine what it would be like to lose one of my kids.

3The Last Words You Said - Sarah Brightman
For anyone whose soul has been singed by the passions and glories of tragic love-- this One's for U. Sarah's voice singing these heart-breaking lyrics will tenderly wound and heal U. She's without equal in awaking hidden depths of feeling in the listener.

4Without You - X Japan
Yes! X Japan writes songs that pump you up... But they also write songs that break your heart... Whenever I listen to "Without You" or "Forever Love" or "Endless Rain" or "Longing"... It feels like someone gutted me, pulled my heart out so I can watch it beat... And I love it. That is a sad song, the saddest song. Sarah Brightman is amazing too... But X Japan deserves to be at number one.
The music itself is more than enough to make people cry. Listen to the lyric, the effect is tenfold.

kurenai_tenshi

every time I listen to this song I just can't stop crying... I couldn't imagine how it was to create a song for a best friend that died... it's too damn hard.

5Stan - Eminem
You shouldn't do this, with the emotion, emergeness, EMINEM sings the song... REALLY makes me feel like he's Stan... VOTE IT...
What can be sadder than somebody commiting suicide with his pregnant wife in the car- awesome lyrics.
Best sad song ever. Amazing. Thank you Marshall Mathers for giving this to everyone.

6Yesterday - The Beatles
An absolutely gorgeous song, could bring Castro to tears it's so beautifuly sad.
VOTE FOR IT!

Nothing sadder than nostalgia..

7The Winner Takes It All - ABBA
Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus! End of Story!

Nirmal1991USA

The emotion that Agnetha sings this song with, and the ability to cry with her voice is something special. Having just gone through a divorce and singing the words to this song have to make it one of the saddest songs ever.

MGBSG1

This is the only song that makes me cry everytime I listen to it. The raw passion and power behind the most beautiful song ever written.

8Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
David Gilmour's voice and the intro riff is pretty depressing.
Beautiful and moving. I have cried to this one before...

kingmadmushroom

Definitely the best. This song is about the iconic ex-guitarist for Pink Floyd Syd Barret. It is about how though Syd was alive at the time it was as if he was dead. His brain was dead from all the psychedelic drugs he took and he was clinically insane. He lived out the rest of his life in his mothers basement by law. So sad

9Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
At first, I didn't know what this song is about. After knowing at the meaning and the reason of Armstrong writing this song. I feel very sorry, the lyrics are so touching. It makes me feel sad every time I listen to it
Although it might not be the saddest song of all time, I touched my heart and made me cry, I felt strongly compelled to vote for it. It doesn't hurt that I love Green Day, either. The meaning bwhined the song made me even sadder. Billie Joe wrote it about his father who passed away in September when he was ten.
I love Green Day as much I love this song! One of most touching song ever made by a rock band... Truly amazing!

10Time To Say Goodbye - Sarah Brightman
Is the best song, and the voice is spectacular.
Beautiful voice. That of an angel.
I love this song. It's very sad, even with the translation. It sounds as though someone is staring at the horizon and dreaming of things that could have been; they could have sailed on "ships across seas" but it's too late to do that now.

The Contenders

11Hurt - Johnny Cash
This version of the song is simply genius. Though he didn't write this song on his own, Johnny Cash performed it so deeply that you can feel the emotions in every little sound of this song. With his broken voice he appears as fragile as the meaning of this song is. Beautiful song.

darksky

The one by NIN is good but this one just makes bawl everytime.
Nothing I could say would do Johnny Cash or this song enough justice. It truly is a remarkable piece of art. Though the song is originally NIN I think I can speak for everyone when I say that this version is unanimously the better of the two.

12I (Who Have Nothing) - Shirley Bassey

Very Emotional Top 10 HIT Single from the powerful vocalist, Shirley Bassey, recorded back in 1963! This song deserves to be on this list!

Very sad song >> This emotional Top 10 single for Shirley was recorded in 1963 >> She has been faithfully performing this song during LIVE concerts for over four decades.

13Hurt - Christina Aguillera
Me and my best friend performed this at our talent show at school and everyone loved it. It is amazing and strong inside out and now every time I hear this song, I remember all those beautiful memories and I just can't help myself but crying.
This song is epic, has the best lyrics and the best vocals. Nobody can do it like Christina.
The sentence:every time I wanna call you but I know you won't be there make me sad always

14This Used to Be My Playground - Madonna

This song always makes me sad. Beautiful lyrics and vocals by Madonna. It will remind you of childhood days, will definetely make you nostalgic. Beautiful song.

I adore this song. We must say a big "Thank You" to Madonna for this pure masterpiece. Emotional, sad but very beautiful lyrics. This track will never be outdated because we all start as kids, then teens, then mature and then... We recollect the days of our childhood listening to this song

15Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
I don't know why this is even ON this list. How on earth can you take this for a sad song? And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last: To be a Rock, and Not to Roll?

Stairway is, quite possibly, the most powerful rock and roll song of all time. It's all there, the whole package- I remember it being voted the #1 song by radio station listeners in San Diego (on KGB's yearly poll back in the day) several years in a row. With good reason. DEFINITELY not SAD or DEPRESSING WHATSOEVER!
This should be in the top 10. It's so heartfelt. If you don't agree, listen to the lyrics! It's just beautiful.

crazyforkiss

Wow! This song like has adrenaline in th solo! Robert plant's best work! No need to mention Jimi Page's guitar solo which symbolizes rock guitar! Great song with great lyrics and guitar!

16How to Save a Life - The Fray
How To Save A Life is one of the saddest songs that I've ever heard. I just heard it today, and I totally fell in love with it. Especially when your watching a really sad episode of a comedy-drama TV show. Not just drama alone -- comedy has to be there with it, because it makes it all the more sad. In my opinion, that is. ^^;;

darkvineyard

I love this song but its so sad.
The lyrics touch me, as many of my friends have considered or attempted suicide (none have succeeded -- thank god! ). I can relate to it and it touches me in a way few other songs do.

17Concrete Angel - Martina McBride
Saddest song ever, it is sad just to listen to it, but watching the video makes my eyes water ever time I watch it. Needs to be in the top 5 for sure, if not 1st.
SAD! I love this song, but watching it makes my so sad. The rest of the list is pretty good but this should definitely move up.
I just can't describe how sad this song is and the music video makes it even worse I cry every time

20Seasons In the Sun - Terry Jacks
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
87th! This song brings tears to my eyes. I can sing every word without it in the backround. Same with Cats in th Cradle, also a great song.

21Creep - Radiohead
Avenged sevenfold is my favorite band while I ain't that big on radiohead That makes it even more important that I had to vote for this song it is the saddest amazingly heartbreaks toons I have ever heard tears into heavenmay deal with a far sadder subject but it is the way the song is performe that reLLY HEVOKES SADDNES AND THIS IS THE CRACKING OF THE SOLE
Expresses the feelings that everyone gets at some point in their lives. If you haven't heard it yet, listen to it and you'll understand.
Here comes my vote... it's one of the most depressive songs I've ever heard.

22Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan
I listen to this song on the anniversary I killed my parents.
Lyrics don't get any sadder.
Brings tears to my eyes yet I can't stop playing it over and over. We all have feelings deep inside that emerge when we hear certain songs and this song stirs those sad, melancholy feelings like no other for me.

24Hero of War - Rise Against
The first time I heard that song, I found it pretty boring because of the lack of speed and guitar an drums in it. Then the second time, I listene to the lyrics and aat the end I burst out crying in my pillow, cause I didn't want my parents to see me. It's the first time I cried in years! The lyrics are so powerful!
This is the most powerful song of all time! I showed it to my friend aand his older brother on the way to school, and we all started crying!
This song, with the video is one of the saddest things I have ever seen. It gets me every time. Extremely powerful song and video.

25The Show Must Go On - Queen
RIP this song doesn't need lyrics in itself freddie's vocals show his pain and grief while sending a good message stick at it the show must go on rip freddie
First song I listened to. My mom was listening to it when I was infant and even now I can't stop listening to it
RIP. I sujested this song. it's not a sad song, but once you know what it's about and under the circumstances freddie Mercury wrote it, you would vote for this.

26Family Portrait - P!nk

When I heard this song first time I thought: that is so good that my parents love each other and I don't have that pain that was about in this song. Now my parents are divorced and my feelings of this song are very sad.

BloodyMargarita

My god! this my favorite song of all time. A lot of people who have had broken families could relate to this song including me. It makes me cry everytime. And P! nk is such a great singer, she puts real emotion to this song.

When I was a high school girl I used to play it times and time, lets say 50 times a that, it really touched my heart... Best of pink...

27So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
This song is about the passing of the Reverend Tholemew Plague (jimmy Owen Sulliven), who passed in 2009. The band, Avenged Sevenfold, decided they will not go on without Jimmy. But, they might possibly have another album coming out (for all you A7X fans out there! ) Jeez, I'm such a fangirl! But anyways, that's why I voted for the song. Because it's about an ACTUAL PERSON and well, I LOVE AVENGED SEVENFOLD!
Keep calm and Listen to avenged sevenfold people. They have a son in black ops 2 called "Carry On". LOOK IT UP IT"S AMAZING
You simply feel it there, that painful loss of The Rev. This song is actually full of life for me, because it is about someone, who really lived. It has soul. And that's the reason why I vote for So Far Away.
This song still make me cry. Remembering me with someone I love who died years ago. So deep just like from the heart, my girl may rest in peace when I sing this song.

28November Rain - Guns N Roses
OK, this is being hijacked by Sarah Brightman fans... This so is sad yet so class
I never really enjoyed November rains ever after. This is a class apart. The guitars by Slash rule the whole plot. I just don't want to hear any other song when I am sad apart from this piece of beauty. God bless.
Can't believe its on 27th.. Deserves to be in top 10. The best song ever

30Seize the Day - Avenged Sevenfold

This is one of the saddest and yet most epic songs I've ever heard. I am also very surprised that I Won't See You Tonight (part 1) isn't on here (same artist). Its very long but equally powerful. The lyrics in this song are sad but inspiring at the same time, and the amazing solo just uplifts you after from the sadness. Wonderful song.

42Dance With the Devil - Immortal Technique

Whining about relationships is not sad. Telling a story about a man whos dreams and inspirations led him to destroy and take his own life is sad.

OMG when I heard this song I was fronzen to death, someone else Im pretty sure would cry, but I don't know how could I stay cool.
Great song.
And one of the most underrated artists ever.
Immortal Technique.

43Hello - Evanescence

I think this song is really sad, but I loved it so much I had to listen to it over and over, it made me cry 5 out 7 times I would watch it in one day.

I was having a bad day & I ended up balling my eyes out pathetically when I first heard this song. I actually learned it on the piano.. I still listen to it and play it all the time.

One of the few songs you don't hear live because it's so personal to her, you can relate to it on so many levels...

One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. There even was a time when I used to cry listening to this song. Gorgeous, Ville, thank you so much!
All HIM songs have a sad beauty about them. This one really gets to me though, the passion in Ville's voice, the simplistic yet powerful lyrics that only Ville can write. Its just so damn beautiful.

45Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely - Backstreet Boys

What's make this song special is that every one understand it in his way

It is sad in a way. The boys dedicated this to Denniz Pop. I dedicate this song to my late dog Milton and cat Lily and 3 of my grandparents.

This is Backstreet probably at its best. A heart touching song that will surely take you to another world of your own... A must track to be included in the list.


46Adam's Song - Blink 182
if you listen to the lyrics of this song you will realise it is about a kid called adam who commited suicide and his mum asked blink 182 to write a song about him, best version of this song is live on mark tom and travis show

bigcowpaddy1

You don't expect song this kind of sad from the punk GREATS as they their songs are usually humorous and banging-type... This song is one amongst theirs best.. Even their song 'not now' is sad, but hasn't made the list

55Cat's In The Cradle - Harry Chapin

Definitely the Saddest, not matter how many times you hear it, it's always hit the soft spots.

my dad used to sing this song to me every night to make me fall asleep... and as I got older I realized that he has missed a lot of my life because of his job!

Anytime you see this song featured on a television show or a movie there is always a person who either has a tear running down his face in the show (or in real life) it really hits home for many people and should be more respected as one of the saddest of all time.

More comments about Cat's In The Cradle - Harry ChapinListen to sample

56The End - The Doors
Yep.

If you've ever broken up with someone that you truly loved, this is probably the most depressing song you can listen to (at that time).

The only problem is that is out of context: The song is an opus to how badly we treat the earth. What have we done to the Earth? What have we done to our, fair sister?
I don't find it strange that I cried one time listening to this. Do you? Okay, listen to the lyrics.

This is the end
My beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end...
This is what we call total DESPAIR.

Guys, you're only voting for the most famous sad songs. This song may be old, but it is easily sadder than anything else written except possibly Tears in Heaven and Seasons in the Sun.

Depressing song that actually sounds uplifting, but still keeping a depressing mood. It's kinda like those scenes in a movie where the main character's friend just died, but he doesn't feel sad, he just accepts the fact. In that way, it's a unique, melancholy kind of sadness. Definitely not #1, but I think it deserves a place on this list.

82Fix You - Coldplay
OMG LISTEN TO THE SONG AND I SWEAR YOU'LL CRY!
One of the most beautiful and moving songs about being lost or an outcast or losing someone close. Almost anyone can relate to this on the planet. The remix from DatsiK (look it up) made me outright bawl. You can feel the pain and sadness in his voice. He is hurt.
It reminds me of a recent r/ship of mine that ended, everyday it seemed as if I were never good enough and he was trying to "fix me" into what he wanted me to be. I lost myself before I got out, now I'm still fixing me

98Mad World - Gary Jules
Such a sad song, most will know this from gears and Dom's death, gears incorporated this song greatly. Its just such a sad but good song, and at the same time it gives me a good feeling that's unexplainable.
i always struggle not to cry when listening to this song. its just so slow and lilty, and Gary Jules soft, slow, smooth voice just brings the lyrics to life...which sounds kind of ironic really.
What!? Half of these songs aren't even sad(more like dramatic. ) this song is far the saddest I've heard.

This is the saddest song in the world! Whisky lullaby reminds me of my grandpa who got alcohol posining and died. They played this song at his funeral. I alwas cry when ever I see or hear this song.
