Songs for when I'm sad?????

Favorite Answer

Some of these you'll probably know. Others maybe you won't. They range the gauntlet as far as style and artist.

Sad Songs (Say So Much)-Elton John

I'm Alive-Jackson Browne (This one got me through a really tough time. It's about a breakup, but it's both sad and looking up. Chorus is "Yeaaaaaaaah/Now I'm rolling down this canyon drive/with your laughter in my head/gonna have to block it out somehow/to survive/cuz those dreams are dead/and I'm alive")

Hurt-Johnny Cash (truly great song)

He Stopped Loving Her Today-George Jones

Back To December-Taylor Swift

What Hurts The Most-Rascall Flats

The River-Bruce Springsteen

Goodbye My Lover-James Blunt

I Will Always Love You-Whitney Houston

That's My Job-Conway Twitty (this is my favorite song of the bunch. About a man and his relationship with his father throughout his life.)

Gone Too Song-Michael Jackson (saddest song on here. Pure sadness, no looking up at all. About Ryan White, a kid who, through no fault of his own, contracted AIDS due to a blood transfusion while being treated for his hemophilia, and died very young)

All Good Things-Jackson Browne

Every Breath You Take-The Police

Last Kiss-Several Versions, including J. Frank Wilson and Pearl Jam (Wilson's is better)

Whiskey Lullaby-Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss

In The Ghetto-Elvis Presley

Teen Angel-Mark Dinning

I Will Remember You-Sarah McLachlan

Keep Me In Your Heart-Warren Zevon

Behind Blue Eyes-The Who

Elenor Rigby- The Beatles

Yesterday-The Beatles

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry-Hank Williams

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word-Several versions, original is Elton John, but I prefer the Joe Cocker version

Always On My Mind-Several, but the best is hands down Willie Nelson

Cat's In The Cradle-Harry Chapin...Show more

I hope this helps!

I'm going through a tough time
And don't want happy music
Lets talk puke and garbage
Both make me really sick
I like the sad songs better
With them I can relate
A stabbing or a murder
After that, I'm feelin great...Show more
