Your Favourite Sad Song.
 
The one song guaranteed to get your bottom lip quivering and your hand reaching for the whiskey.

Tom Waits' 'Martha' has a tendency to create floodstorms during post-pub hours at DR666 Towers.

Danny Himself 06.27.2007 08:37 PM

"Good Feeling" by Violent Femmes, and also
"Lua" by Bright Eyes.

and countless others

pbradley 06.27.2007 08:45 PM

"Marilyn Moore" - Sonic Youth

'Martha' happened to be on while I was drunkenly creating this thread, so I know exactly what you mean.

the ikara cult 06.27.2007 09:32 PM

Alice, as we're on Tom Waits

demonrail666 06.27.2007 09:34 PM

Why are all of Tom Wait's saddest songs named after women? No, actually, no need to answer that.

Aye "Quaffs whiskey"

lungfish 06.27.2007 09:59 PM

'how do you keep love alive' by ryan adams is currently one of my favorites.

k-krack 06.27.2007 10:10 PM

Oh man, I gave up at M and like, 60 songs.
I'll just say, "a bunch of Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu and stuff..."

Pax Americana 06.27.2007 10:38 PM

Hmmm... Just off the top of my head:

Names - Cat Power
The Goldheart Mountaintop Queen Directory - Guided By Voices (I don't why I find this song so sad, but it really effects me)
Let Down - Radiohead
How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
Pictures Of You - The Cure
Flowers And Trees - The Bats

I'll agree with K-krack and say "a bunch of Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu" as well.

Xiu Xiu - Little Panda McElroy

"I can stop lying
I can stop punching my own face
I can stop stealing money
I can stop hating my own heart...
I can do it
Because of you"

MellySingsDoom 06.28.2007 03:34 AM

There's this Francoise Hardy song, whose title I can't remember, that has me reaching for the Kleenex in my more melancholy moments.

_slavo_ 06.28.2007 03:56 AM

Blonde Redhead - "En Particular"

screamingskull 06.28.2007 04:27 AM

Elliott Smith - Fond Farewell, but pretty much ever Elliott Smith song is sad now.
Cat Power - What would the community think?

jimbrim 06.28.2007 05:10 AM

Red House Painters - Grace Cathedral Park.

That's one of my favorites too. It's so good.

LifeDistortion 06.28.2007 08:45 PM

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

"Caroline Says 2"-Lou Reed

Alex's Trip 06.29.2007 02:10 AM

Fabulous Muscles - Xiu Xiu

After reading Mama Black Widow anyway, that whole album is much more intense.

I was going to say that.
Second choice would have been Nieces Pieces.

Nice choice.

terminal pharmacy 06.29.2007 05:21 AM

sad eye
hurricane

both by come

DJ Rick 06.29.2007 12:51 PM

The best depressive music made these days is by Pink Reason. Check out the "Cleaning the Mirror" album, out earlier this year on Siltbreeze. Lock up your razor blades!

Also, from the past...

Indian Bingo "Goon Lagoon"

Glice 06.29.2007 01:19 PM

Berlin in general is a pretty moribund album. I'd stick a gash-load of Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson in there. To my mind, it ain't sad if it ain't country.

Glice 06.29.2007 01:20 PM

Oh, Patsy Cline as well. "I've got these little things/ she-heeeeees got you"

MellySingsDoom 06.29.2007 01:44 PM

I also love "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" by Glen Campbell. For my sins, I've never got round to hearing the Isaac Hayes version.
