songs when you're sad, add yours

[ScienceGal]

It's been a while since I've looked for new music. Just heard this and love it:Jason Collett - Rave On Sad Songs - Video

 

Last night I dreamt I died as I slept on the floor

Head between the speakers with tears fallin' stereo

It's cold he said as he climbed out of bed, will this winter ever go

He took your hands & warmed them in my own, so

 

Rave on you sad songs, sad songs rave on

I'm just feelin the temperature happiness is for amateurs

 

Up in the afternoon grey until the evenings fade to black we crashed into the morn

Stumblin home like skippin' stones precious to the bone

By and by if you should see the light well steady as she goes

Every horizon has some glow so

 

Rave on you sad songs, sad songs rave on

I'm just runnin' the temperature happiness is for amateurs

 

There's things we all need to believe to carry on

But I know you're not bein' honest with me when you tell me I'm wrong

 

If you'll make up my mind some of the time, tonight I'll take what's in store

So pour the wine, don't fall behind till they drag us out the door and

 

Rave on you sad songs, sad songs rave on

I'm just feelin' the temperature happiness is for amateurs

(Yeh) Rave on sad songs, sad songs rave on

I'm just runnin' the temperature happiness is for amateurs

These lyrics really helped me (shown in the video)

 

"Pushing forward even though this life sucks sometimes,

****ing with this news, I promise I can get it untied.

you made it out of bed, task one crossed off,

step 2 show them that you ain't goin' to be a ragdoll

stand up backbone strong enough to break falls.."

 

It's about going through depression and changing your mind that you do not want to put up with it anymore and enjoy life as much as possible!

[Minadee]

 

Missy Higgins - Where I stood

 

See I thought love was black and white

That it was wrong or it was right

But you ain't leaving without a fight

And I think I am just as torn inside

 

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you

All I know is that I should

And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you

All I know is that I should

'Cos she will love you more than I could

She who dares to stand where I stood

OMG

 

I just can't believe I met an e-dubble fan in a random place.

 

Oh, and something constructive:

 

 

The night creeps through my bones with a winter's chill, sending shivers down my spine

Like cold hands across my skin

Five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth

Until my blood ran cold and life stood still

And still I hold my breath, counting the nights I've stood with my heart in hand

And still I hold my breath, counting the nights.

Waiting for silence to break me down again

If only you could see

See it in my eyes how much it means

Your touch, Your smile

To a heart thats beat has long since given out and given in

The night opens wide, swallowing every sense

Embracing me with emptiness

The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life's imitation

How can we truly say that we are alive

When everything I see in me is screaming

How can we truly say that we are alive

When everything I see in me is screaming otherwise?

It's screaming otherwise

Cause five months have passed and taken with them every sense of warmth

Until my blood ran cold and life stood still

The hours have become irritations, and I find myself reduced to life's imitation

[Keenly]

 

I strongly recommend listening to Igor . It has helped me, almost single handedly get over my breakup. He does acoustic guitar covers, with his own spin on them. Anyone can find their favorite songs covered by him, over 260 of them. Trust me, try it out.

 

This one is snow by red hot chili peps, but better imo.

[ScienceGal]

WOW, Igor is amazing!

 

Band of Horses is one of my favorite bands and I adore this song:

 

Promise the next one I post won't be depressing.

 

 

The end's not near It's here

Hallelujah Spread the cheer

And watch the millenarians

Throw a party for a thousand years

You won't see the pious praying

They'll be too busy flaying

All the martyrs with better ways

To stop the world decaying

 

If you call me I won't be home

I'm hiding from the kingdom come

They can't see everything on earth

With the satellites and the roving drones

This is why hell is underground

Like a reclaimed bad part of town

We don't want to lose our souls

We're the saints who don't want to be found

PEARL JAM - Come Back

 

Absolutely beautifully sung by Pearl Jam- makes me teary eyed every time

 

If I keep holding out

Will the light shine through?

Under this broken roof

It's only rain that I feel

I've been wishin' out the days

Oh oh oh

Come back

 

I have been planning out

All that I'd say to you

Since you slipped away

Know that I still remain true

I've been wishin' out the days

Please say that if you hadn't have gone now

I wouldn't have lost you another way

From wherever you are

Oh oh oh oh

Come back

 

And these days, they linger on, yeah, yeah

And in the night, I've been waiting for

A real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams

I go to sleep

 

If I don't fall apart

Will my memory stay clear?

So you had to go

And I had to remain here

But the strangest thing to date

So far away and yet you feel so close

I'm not going to question it any other way

It must be an open door for you

To come back

 

And the days they linger on, yeah

Every night I'm waiting for

The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams

Sometimes you're there and you're talking back to me

Come the morning I could swear you're next to me

And it's ok

 

It's ok, it's ok

 

I'll be here

Come back, come back

I'll be here

Come back, come back

I'll be here

Come back, come back

Just about anything by Lana Del Rey. I love listening to her, period, but especially when sad.

 

[Pyro]

WOW, Igor is amazing!

Yes!

 

Finally someone else who enjoys Band of Horses.

 

Carry on.

I am loving all the music being shared!

Clocks- by Coldplay.

Keep Breathing - Ingrid Michaelson - YouTube

 

 

[Love Bytes]

 

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same

When our friends talk about you all it does is just tear me down

Cuz my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

 

It all just sounds like ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

 

mmmm too young, too dumb, to realize...

 

That I should have bought you flowers

And held your hand

Shoulda gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

Cuz all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancin'

But she's dancin' with another man

 

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

 

It all just sounds like ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

 

mmmm too young, too dumb, to realize...

 

That I should have bought you flowers

and held your hand

Shoulda gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

Cuz all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby's dancin'

But she's dancin' with another man

 

Although it hurts

I'll be the first

to say that I was wrong

Oh I know it's probably much too late

To try and apologize for my mistakes

But I just want you to know...

 

I hope he buys you flowers

I hope he holds your hand

Gives you all his hours

While he has the chance

Takes you to every party

Cuz I remember how much you love to dance

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

And So It Goes - Billy Joel

Thumbing My Way - Pearl Jam

Ry Cuming, Aussie singer songwriter...absolutely amazing, I've been listening to this all across the holidays.

@anela... those songs just wrecked me! So sad.

[loredo21]

anything by, coldplay, radiohead, joe purdy, band of horses, frightened rabbit, my morning jacket, bon iver, margot and the nuclear so and so's, the frames, right away great captain!, sigur ros, and the Once soundtrack is a great breakup album. there are many many more.

[loredo21]

ooooh! also Milk Carton Kids-(try "Michigan" and "there by your side")

and Marina and the Diamonds- "lies" is cool too.

I have a list of breakup/heartbreak songs a mile long. maybe sometime i'll try to pick my faves off of there and post song recommendations. music is my soul so i know what's up in the heartbreak/depressing music department.

Mindy Smith - One Moment More Mindy Smith - One Moment More - YouTube

 

I cried over this one so much because it desribed perfectly how I felt the last time I saw him. I accidentally met him a week after he had broken up with me via text and burst into tears the moment he said hi and he just hugged me for half an hour and apologized and promised to call and take me out and all that. I was both happy to see him again and dying inside because I didn't believe him and wanted to hold onto him for as long as I could before he disappeared for good. Few days later he blocked me everywhere and I haven't heard from him since.

Regina Spektor - How

[Shotputter]

[ScienceGal]

I had not heard that Regina Spektor song before, it was beautiful!

 

Mindy Smith broke my heart, and Josh Garrels was really good. Never heard of either of them before. Thank you for sharing.

 

Leonard Cohen - Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye

 

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,

your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,

yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new,

in city and in forest they smiled like me and you,

but now it's come to distances and both of us must try,

your eyes are soft with sorrow,

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time,

walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme

you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me,

it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea,

but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie,

your eyes are soft with sorrow,

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,

"i close my eyes.. only for a moment, and the moment's gone"

 

thats how i feel when i close my eyes and remember holding her in my arms

[TheUnthoughtKnown]

Some fantastic songs on here! I'll try and add a few of my own for your considerations.

 

 

Since there's been a few Pearl Jam songs on here (including one of my ultimate break up songs "Come Back") I thought I'd add one here.

 

 

I love this guy. He wrote an entire album about his break up from his wife, and it's brilliant.

 

 

Sad but utterly uplifting song by this brilliant Scottish band.

 

 

Lovely song by this charming indie band about growing up and all the experiences of life we go through and reflect on. I always think of this song like one of those adverts that chart someone's entire life in under a minute to emphasis the beauty of life. This song has that about it. It's about staying positive and realising it's all worth it as a part of life's experiences.

 

 

One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands. This song is all about summing up a relationship. It's just beautiful and has to be heard.

 

 

I've only gotten into this band recently, but I love the singers voice. She's so earnest. Really beautiful.

 

And lastly

 

 

This is a trilogy of songs based on a Japanese folktale about a man who falls in love with a beautiful woman and loses it all because of his greed. It's really fascinating and this band tell this story perfectly. I was entranced. There's three separate songs here and I can't decide which I love more so I had to put them all in.
