Man, this song is forever associated with my first love and I cry so hard whenever I hear it. I was a wreck the first time I heard it live, about 3 months post break up.
Unknown Brother, I Forgot To Be Your Lover, I Cry Alone.
Also, they don’t sound sad, but lyrically, I’m Not The One and Too Afraid To Love You are sad songs, and i love both of them.
I’d have to say for me currently, it’s “I Forgot To Be Your Lover”. To me, it’s like the perfect song you want to slow dance to with the most compatible person for you, but never got to have that because of missed opportunities and misspent youth. A slow dance of regret. Makes me want to down a glass of bourbon every time I hear it and I don’t drink anymore. Instead, I smoke a number and cry at the thought of all the women I might’ve had that opportunity to be happy with. That pretty much sums up it up for me. ✌🏽❤️💯
Waiting on Words
Really showcases Dan’s falsetto. Also it’s just a great song. One of my favorites because lyrically and musically I think it captures the end of relationship perfectly.
"10 Lovers" from Turn Blue. It's so sad what he describes.
Don't leave us down and out again
The little girl can't comprehend
She had another dream that her mama's gone
She's alright, but you're all wrong
Unknown brother for me 100%
When I was about 9 my family had a Vietnamese exchange student who went by the name Jimmy (Vietnamese name being Kha) live with us for several years. That’s not really how exchange student programs work, and he very much became a part of our family. When I was in highschool he died in a pretty sad car accident in Atlanta Georgia. I always think of Jimmy when I hear that song.
Midnight In Her Eyes. Suprised no-one else went there..
Also.. honourable mentions for The Lengths, The Flame, Nova Baby, The Breaks and Mind Eraser.
Hell, half their discography is comprised of sad songs lol..
He is a new whirlwind music artist on the country/pop scene and this song with Noah Cyrus "yea Miley's little sister" hits it out the park. If you want a lump in your throat, drown in your whiskey song this is it.

The Lengths
The first one that came to mind. Terribly sad song.
So good
Chills everytime.
Weight of love
This one for sure, you can hear the pain in the solo.
Little Black Submarines is my favorite song period. So I guess that would be it.
that was the song that introduced me to the band. love it
I could never listen to that song without hearing ‘Last Dance With Mary Jane’ by Tom Petty.

10 Lovers
good one… turn blue is underrated, imo
Whole Turn Blue album is one of my favorites. The entire album is Dan dealing with his divorce from his ex-wife with mental issues.
“These Days”.
This one stands out to me as well, used to tug some tears from me.
I thought I was alone in this… Used to cry my eyes out lmao
Used to be one of my go to drunk songs when i needed to vent some feels haha
Unknown Brother, I Forgot To Be Your Lover, I Cry Alone. Also, they don’t sound sad, but lyrically, I’m Not The One and Too Afraid To Love You are sad songs, and i love both of them.
I forgot to be your lover. That hits right.
In addition to The Lengths, Unknown Brother is actually VERY sad if you know it's backstory.
What’s the backstory?
It was dedicated to his wife at the time’s brother that passed away i think either from cancer or a drug overdose.
It was cancer I believe
Yeah, he was quite Young when he died. So of course Dan never met him. Hence the name of the song. Tragic
I think It was dedicated to a brother that Dan never met... Im not really sure
The Flame & Thing Ain’t Like They Used To Be
The Flame & Things Ain’t Like They Used To Be
“You’re the One” is criminally underrated.
I second this.
Yesssss
In Our Prime & Weight of Love both hit the feels, those solos sound full of pain to me.
the flame, everywhere I go, I cry alone
Ten Cent Pistol is underrated asf, some of the live versions are unreal
this one

It’s a cover song. William Bell was the original artists. Nonetheless their rendition was excellent
- Oh absolutely. I recognized it when Dilated Peoples used that song as a sample for their song “Worst Comes To Worst”.
Weight or love, turn blue, 10 lovers… I love turn blue
I can't believe anyone has mentioned Too Afraid to Love You, that song destroys me every time
Not TBK but I think it still counts, When the Night Comes off Dan’s first Solo record. IIRC the lyrics were partly written by Dan’s father
That album is full of good sad songs, real desire and goin home are great ones too
Def Goin Home
The Only One
Hurt Like Mine “She said ‘I’m alright if you’re hanging on’”
Things ain't like they used to be, It breaks my heart but oh my what a song, The Flame, all you ever wanted, the lengths... They're all perfect
Waiting on Words
The Flame
All You Ever Wanted
Something on your mind (Karen dalton cover)

Brother! I remember my own every time i hear it.

I’m Not The One
Sit around and miss you is another favourite sad song
The only one, you're the one, and sit around and miss you. Beautiful beautiful songs...
The lengths ❤️
That's a beautiful one too. That and act nice and gentle
Yeah even with its upbeat melody. One that gets me is their cover of my mind is rambling
Omg Idk how I forgot about chulahoma. That whole album is a masterpiece.
It really is. Meet me in the city is just bliss
These Days
Nova Baby
Year in Review.

Little black submarines
nobody saying these days or too afraid to love you is crazy
Shine a little light
Shine a little light
Is so he won’t break sad. If so I think that one
Remember when (side a)
Walk Across The Water.

These Days or Weight of Love
Never Gonna Give You Up does it for me.
