What are some of your favorite songs that are somewhat depressing or sad?

Here are some of mine:

I Wonder - Chris Issac
The Drugs Don't Work - The Verve
Santa Monica - Everclear
Wrote a Song For Everyone - CCR
Have You Ever Seen the Rain - CCR
Against the Wind - Bob Seger
Ten Years Gone - Led Zeppelin
Pretty Much Anything by Nirvana
The End - The Doors
Wonderful - Everclear
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins

There are many others I just can't think of them all right now

 

[from zero]

Most anything from Opeth (especially the Damnation album) or Alice in Chains.
Metallica - Fade to Black.
GNR - November Rain.
Sentenced - End of the Road.
40 Below Summer - A Season in Hell ... that's a little too aggressive to be sad though, with the exception of the outro.
Flaw - My Letter.
Porcupine Tree - Shesmovedon.

I could probably name 100 more if I felt like thinking.

November rain-however I thinks its more after seeing the video then the song itself

[badslinky]

kinda alil to main stream popish for me but Away from the sun by three doors down is a sad one,

 

[Rabid_Goose]

My Chemical Romance - Ghost of you. Don't like that band, but I love that one song.

Iced Earth - Angels Holocaust
- Melancholy
Look up those two, they have another one, it's a real sad one but it's great. I can find the name if you like IE.

Stabbing Westward - Sometimes It Hurts

System of a Down = Roulette

Stone Sour - Bother

Drowning Pool - Love and War

10 Years - WasteLand

I listen to a lot of heavy music, and classical. But I don't really like heavy metal bands till they have a slow tempo/sad song. Heavy songs can come by easy at times, but to be a heavy band and come out with a slow tempo and still be great, is just fantastic to me.

 

[badslinky]

third eye blind - god of wine

 

[foxxie]

mad world ( I dont know who sing it though)
