whats the saddest song you have heard?

Answer 1

think its gotta be tears from heaven by Eric Clapton,its not my favourite but its sad,its about his little son who fell of a balcony to his death.

Answer 2

This is a celtic folk song not a 'pop' song but the lyrics are so moving that when I hear this is literally makes the hairs on my arms stand up. It's called The Green Fields of France:

1) Well, how do you do young Willie McBride?
Do you mind if I sit hear down by your graveside,
And rest for a while ‘neath the warm summer sun.
I’ve been walking all day and I’m nearly done.
I can see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
when you joined the great fallen in nineteen sixteen.
Well I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean,
Oh Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Chorus:
Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly,
did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down?
Did the bands play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?

2.) And did you leave a wife or sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined,
Although you died back in nineteen sixteen
In some faithful heart are you forever nineteen?
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed now forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
Chorus:

3.) Now see how the sun shines o’er the green field of France
There’s a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance,
And see how the sun shines from under the clouds
There’s no gas or barbed wire, there’s no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard it’s still no-man’s land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man’s blind difference to his fellow man
To a whole generation who were butchered and damned.
Chorus:

4.) Now young Willie McBride, I can’t help wonder why
Do all those who lie here know why did they die.
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory the pain,
The killing, the dying they were all done in vain
For young Willie McBride it all happened again
And again and again and again and again.

Answer 3

I agree, Concrete angel by Martina McBride:

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Chorus:
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear and they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
Whe morning comes it'll be too late

Chorus

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Chorus

Answer 4

The Verve - The drugs dont work

Evanescence - My Immortal

Counting Crows - Colourblind

But the saddest song ever has to be 'Fields Of Gold' by Eva Cassidy. I can't can't listen to it, it really kills me...

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

Answer 5

The Verve - The drugs dont work, this was actually voted the saddest song ever released

Answer 6

Go Rest High On That Mountain - Vince Gill
Concrete Angel - Martina McBride
The Story Of Beauty - Destiny's Child

Answer 7

Tears from Heaven - Eric Clapton.

We all know what it was about, it was a family thing, not a third person commentary, or regarding a friend. It was a truly moving song when taking into account how the artist himself must have been feeling.

Answer 8

Well call me old fashioned if you like.

But I would have to say Jackson Browne's "LATE FOR THE SKY" must be the saddest ever written.

Answer 9

Pink's song 'Who knew' is very sad.

I also cry when I hear Safe Hands by Sinéad Quinn:

Are you looking at the world
From the same angle as me
Where did you go to?
What do you see?
And are you afraid now
Or is this the end of your fear
I dunno if you realise how much
Sadness is left in here

You're in safe hands
No more pain inside
And I understand
Why you never said goodbye
But there's one thing I know
If you stumble, if you fall
You're in safe hands
You're high above
High above this storm

Words don't seem to say
The things I wanna say
Words will never get across
The way I feel today
Well someone just take me
I'm stripped, numb, I'm bone
Well someone just take me
'Cos it's not the same
When you're not there

You're in safe hands
No more pain inside
And I understand
Why you never said goodbye
But there's one thing I know
If you stumble, if you fall
You're in safe hands
You're high above
You're high above this storm
This storm

You're in safe hands
There's no more pain inside
And I understand
Why you never said goodbye
But there's one thing I know
If you stumble, if you fall
You're in safe hands
You're high above
You're high above this storm
