Sad Songs...

[DubiousCharms]

Ten Years Gone by Led Zeppelin is something I listen to on rainy days when I miss my long-distance boyfriend. We can kinda relate to it, but it's a hopeful kind of sadness.

As for songs to cheer me up? No Rain by Blind Melon seems to give me a little boost no matter what. Also, Lights Out by Santigold.

If the cause of your sorrow is death, I would highly recommend Dream Theater's CD, Scenes From a Memory, which is a unique murder mystery exhibited through the viewpoint of the victim's future life, who goes to a psychiatrist to figure out why the victim's ghost is haunting his dreams.  This is my favorite CD and it explores the themes involving life, death, and acceptance.
Another one of my favorite CDs is Kamelot's The Black Halo, which is the second part of Kamelot's version of Faust.
Both CDs are great for learning acceptance and gaining mental stability.
Enjoy!

[Faust]

I like a few sad songs.
"Moonlight shadow" *as mentioned*
and my favorite, 'All the things she said'
                " Moth..er...looking at me. tell me, what do you see? yes I've lost my Miiiiiind~"
My favorite part of the song, right there.

When I'm upset I like to listen too songs like "Tears" By Rush, or "This I love" By Guns n' roses. They're nice slow songs good to help you when you're in that kind of mood. Or sometimes listening to silly funny songs helps to lift my spirits. but the two I said are two of my favorite slow sad songs.

The song i listen to the most when im sad is 21 Guns by Green Day. No other lyrics capture the exact feelings of depression.
It is the only song to make me think of my life as soon as the lyrics start :)

[maddjunkie]

Personally, one of my favorite songs to listen to when I'm sad is Hurt, the one sung by Johnny Cash preferably. Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie and Chasing Pavements by Adele are close seconds though

In a shameless plug for Pink Floyd, I'd have to say the entire album The Wall is incredibly depressing.
It's a concept album about building a societal wall, pretty much isolation. Specifically, I'd cite Hey You, Nobody Home,
and Comfortably Numb. Although honorable mention goes to Another Brick in the Wall pt 1. and 3.

I have a bit of System Of A Down (Roulette, Lonely Day), and a bit of ELO believe it or not :) (When Time Stood Still etc.)
