So, I was listening to this:

And it occurred to me to make a thread about those songs that make you go weepy-eyed every time you hear them. Because, personally, I find sad music more satisfying than happy music. Post that music that drags a rusty saw across your heartstrings.

I get what you mean by sad music being more emotionally satisfying.

Pale Horses

Maybe I'm weird, but this song gets me every damn time.

Illusion of Gaia - Space

Don't know why...this song always got to me.

This, a million times this.

Every time. Every god damn time.

Quote:

Daylight comes to those who live But those who die they never see The sun come shining through their window pane They pass away

Quote:

Oh to sleep, per-chance to dream To live again those joyous scenes The laughter and the follies That are locked inside my head

Both of these songs by Slipknot evoke a lot of emotion with me.





The second might be more personal sadness, but it's still a depressing song.

Fucking REM. Why do you have to be so good at your jobs?

Theme song from Pan's Labyrinth

Preisner's Lacrimosa

O euchari in leta via

Garmarna - Brun

Hmm... a lot of opera here.

Usually, music doesn't make me cry. But in the exception of The Rose, if performed right and I'm in that mood between indifferent and depressed, I will tear up. It's a great and beautiful song, and if I feel miserable enough, I'll sing along with it (terribly, mind you) to feel better.

Aw, dammit...

Any of Hanz Zimmer's slower-paced stuff, particularly Gortoz A Ron, Davy Jones, and The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend.

Also anything by the original Captain Jack; not that the music is particularly sad, but it (and he) was so festive it's depressing to think he's dead with a replacement that's switched genres to awful teeny pop.

Nothing can but a sad smile on my face like these songs.

Vienna Teng's good for songs that get me. These two in particular:

*binges on her Ghost in the Shell soundtracks*

I see your GitS and raise you a Cowboy.

I'm learning this song in choir, it's such a pain but so beautiful that I really don't mind.

Been re-watching the Mind's Eye series lately and remembering how great the music was...

1. Too Far
2. Windows
3. Armageddon
4. Valley of the Mind's Eye
5. Quantum Mechanic
6. Oceanic Celebration
7. The Traveler
8. One Dark World

Most of the series, let alone my favorites, aren't on Youtube, so here's a Grooveshark playlist to cover it all (it's also much better audio quality, considering most of the Youtube uploads are taken from VHS, but these all go well together with their visuals. Particularly "Oceanic Celebration," which involves dolphins in Hawaiian shirts, as well as ethereal dolphins in the woods.)

I was on an Irish binge today. Dún Do Shúile

Also, killer polka!
