Sad songs.?

Question

What do you think are the saddest songs? It is for the Rock/metal genre.

My say is
Lonely Day - System of a Down
All that matters - Metallica
Shy - Sonata Artica

What songs do you think?

Cassie by Flyleaf is pretty sad, I mean the story behind it/lyrics. If you were to listen to the song and not think about it, it would seem like a regular song, but think about it, and it's pretty sad, too.

Answer 1

Hurt - NIN ( one of the saddest songs I've ever heard)
Lonely day as you've said
heart failure - Sixx AM
The scientist- coldplay
cold heritage- Lacuna Coil
Save Me - Shinedown
All falls apart - Hurt
Ana's Song - Silverchair
Emtee- Otep
Coma White- Marilyn Manson
Civil War _ Guns N' Roses
The Bleeding - Five Finger Death Punch
Immune- Allele

Answer 4

Bad Company "Shooting Star"

Jonny was a schoolboy, when he heard his first Beatles song.
"Love Me Do" I think it was, and from there it didn't take him long.
Got himself a guitar, used to play it every night,
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, and everything's all right.

Don't you know...

Jonny told his mama, "Hey Mama, I'm goin away,
"Gonna hit the big time, gona be a big star some day."
Mama came to the door, with a teardrop in her eye,
Jonny said: "Don't cry, Mama," smiled and waved good-bye.

Don't you know...
Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star,
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are.

Jonny made a record, went straight up to Number One,
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song.
Watching the world go by, as it brightly goes so fast,
Jonny looked around him and said: "Well, I made the big time at last."

Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star,
And all the world will love you just as long, as long as you are
A Shooting Star?

Jonny died one night, died in his bed,
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head.
Jonny's life passed him by like a warm Summer day,
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play.

Don't you know...
Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a Shooting Star?

Don't ya, don't ya, don't ya, don't you know
That you are a Shooting Star?

i don't feel like thinking right now.
