i know that there are a lot of sad songs out there that will really make you start thinking and knowing that things in the world aren't always the greatest, and i heard one of them today and it was a really sad song, it was a country song called allysa lies(i think by jason michael carroll)and it was where this little girl went to school and she had a friend that was getting abused at home and she went home and told her daddy and before he could tell anyone she was killed by it, it was really sad, so what about you whats the saddest song you ever heard? thank you for taking the time out of your day to come and read my discussion and i hope that you all will have an answer and i also hope that you all have a great evening, night and the rest of your weekend is great! thanks!

Peter Gabriel wrote a song called "Don't Give Up" on the Album 'So' that says alot about going home after being away for years. It is a good reminder that what you remember of your childhood home is not what it is years later when you return to see friends and family. The song talks about moving around constantly, and being unwanted. It makes me cry every tome that I hear it, because I went home after being gone for 6 years, and everything did change, not necessarily for the better.

The saddest song I have ever heard is Concrete Angel - I think it is by Martina McBride. I think I have heard the song you are talking about - that one is sad too!

"Goodbye" - Hootie and the Blowfish "Hello" - Evanescence "A Love Without End, Amen" - George Strait Jewel has always sung some sad songs. Dozens more Country songs...I guess it just depends on which songs you relate more to.

The Johnny Cash version Hurt by the Nine Inch Nails would get my vote. The video is incredible.

The sad song that I ever heard is What matter most By Dave Grusin, Marilyn Bergman & Alan Bergman. This song is really sad the sound lyrics and melody of this song. I heard it when I was a child.

The 1st song that popped in my head when I read this post was "Best I Ever Had" by Vertical Horizon...it's a song about a failed relationship, just the lyrics, combined with the haunting melody is enough to make me sigh, hehe--check out part of the lyrics "But it's not so bad, you're just the best I ever had. I don't want you back, you're just the best I ever had." you can feel that even if the latter part of the lyrics says he doesn't want her back, you know it's just the opposite, which makes it really sad.

I would have to say that I truly feel there is one song that fits almost every situation out there. So depening on the situation is depending on which song I find to be the saddest. My first is What Do You Say by Reba McEntire [i]Stuck at a red light outside an adult bookstore His son said Daddy what are all those X's for As the light turned green he changed the subject fast Started talking about football as they drove right past So what do you say in a moment like this When you can't find the words to tell it like it is Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way Let's get out of here Oh what do you say Seventeen years old She was out with her friends They started drinking at some party Till she was three sheets to the wind Her momma always told her she could call no matter what She was crying on the front steps When her mom showed up So what do you say in a moment like this When you can't find the words to tell it like it is Just bite your tongue and let your heart lead the way Let's get out of here Oh what do you say Sometimes you gotta listen to the silence And give yourself a little time to think Her every breath is weaker than the last And lately when she sleeps she talks about the past Her husband knows she's tired of holding on She looks at him and says I wanna go home What do you say in a moment like this When you can't find the words to tell it like it is Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way Oh what do you say Just close your eyes and let your heart lead the way Oh what do you say Ooo, what do you say[/i] Second would be One More Day With You by Diamond Rio [i]Last night I had a crazy dream A wish was granted just for me It could be for anything I didnt ask for money Or a mansion in malibu I simply wished, for one more day with you Chorus One more day One more time One more sunset, maybe Id be satisfied But then again I know what it would do Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you First thing Id do, is pray for time to crawl Then Id unplug the telephone And keep the tv off Id hold you every second Say a million I love yous Thats what Id do, with one more day with you Chorus Leave me wishing still, for one more day Leave me wishing still, for one more day[/i]

There are so many sad songs I love and had made me cry on of them is " Somewhere over the rainbow" Sang by a little girl named Connie Talbot. She blows my heart away with how she sings her songs. I also like this old song but I forgot the title..I think it goes like this "I was dancing with my sweetheart on the Tennesee hall when an old friend I happen to see..I introduced her to my loved one but when they were dancing my friend stole my sweetheart from me...." That song tore my heart when ever I sing it...I also love this one that goes like this "Jimmy, jimmy please don't cry you'll forget me by and by it's been 5 yrs since you've been gone..Jimmy I married your best friend John" It was an old time song as well there was this girl who fell in love with an older guy but the older guy kept saying she was young..he left and when he left he cant forget this girl but when he came back she already married his best friend. Very tearyI have loads of sad songs but I can't mostly remember the title..I just know how it is sang.

fields of gold song always makes me sad since it was used in the cancer advert, especially the bit where a daughter wishes her father good see her in her wedding dress and when the little gets ready for school, he wants his mum there

The saddest song I ever heard was " Candle In The Wind " It definitely speaks of a loved one who has passed away and the melody is so endearing. Its unforgettable.

Herman's Hermits - End of the World Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world 'Cause you don't love me anymore? Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when I lost your love. I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why ev'rything's the same as it was. I can't understand, no I can't understand How life goes on the way it does Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye Don't they know know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye.

Oh I havent heard that song and yes it is a sad one. There are 2 sad songs that always stay with me, the first one is by Dolly Parton called Me & Little Andy its about a little girl who gets lost out in the cold and her little dog is with her, I havent heard it in such a long time I think the little girl passes away. And the second is about a Trucker and a boy in a wheel chair but cant really remember how thats goes now and it was a country & western song. Hahaha got me wanting to hear them again now so I can remember how they go so I am going to try and download them and see if I can find them

There is only one song this is guaranteed to make me cry. Creedence Clearwater Revival's Someday Never Comes That song hits me hard on several levels. This verse especially: "[i]Well time and tears went by and I collected dust, for there were many things that I didn't know, when daddy went away, he said, try to be a man, and someday you'll understand[/i]" Even typing it out made me choke up a little.

The song per se is not sad.The lyrics of Life (a Christian song) are beautiful on the contrary.But then, it is the background song when we buried my Dad so I tend to feel sad whenever I hear it because I remember him. Few stanzas would be... Life is not at all that bad my friend. If you believe in yourself,if you believe there's someone who walks to life with you You'll never be alone Just learn to reach out and open your heart Lift up your hands to God and He'll show you the way... And He said cast your burdens upon me those who are heavily laden Come to me all of you who are tired of carrying heavy loads For the yoke I will give you is easy and my burden is light Come to me and I will give you rest. When you feel the world is tumbling down on you And you have no one that you can hold on to Just face the rising sun and you'll see hope and there's no need to run Lift up your hands to God and He'll make you feel alright...:)

Broken Vow by Lara Fabian because I could relate to the song. Everytime I hear the song over the radio, I feel like crying. The lyrics goes like this.. Tell me her name I want to know The way she looks And where you go I need to see her face I need to understand Why you and I came to an end Tell me again I want to hear Who broke my faith in all these years Who stays with you at night While I'm here all alone Remembering when I was your own I'm sorry for sharing the lyrics. I feel like crying now. I don't want to hear the song again because it really is so sad. Thank you and God bless.

Sad songs, I have heard. . . And is shocked that his soul songs, after I heard the true soul was touched, not consciously tears streaming down. . . Have you encountered such a situation?
