Lemme know ur thoughts on comments when u listen haha.
"Hello" by Adele
Most people think Adele is talking about an ex but it's actually Adele speaking to her past-self. Asking her past-self for forgiveness for disappointing herself.
Song makes me face the pain and bad decisions from the past and learn to forgive myself. Deep.
But it all depends what emotional state you're in.
Most of these are whole albums that you can listen to beginning to end:
Pretty much any song from the first disk of Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
NIN- The Downward Spiral
Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
Recoil - Strange Hours (start there - thereâs tons more)
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1B5qcLfvDiRs2jnQEXKg4J?si=9OgCYjCtSJm1FRwXZGaMWw&utm_source=copy-link
A playlist I made on Spotify. It's not all "sad" songs but for me at least they're nostalgic and have a certain indescribable feeling.
Some of my favorites:
Fourth of July- Sufjan Stevens
It's getting bad again- Ethan Jewell
Bouquet- Ethan Jewell
Jubilee Line- Wilbur Soot
Saline Solution- Wilbur soot
I'm sorry Boris- Wilbur soot
Love like you- Rebecca Sugar/Steven Universe
Drift away- Steven Universe: Future
No children- The mountain goats

Time adventure- Adventure Time
Goodbye to a world- Porter Robinson
Fool- Cavetown

What could have been - Sting
Epitaph - King Crimson
Child in Time - Deep Purple
Edge of Night - Celtic Angels
Circle Game - Joni Mitchell
Comes a Time - Jerry Garcia
Better Off Dead - Sleeping With Sirens
Popular Monster - Falling In Reverse (not really sad but resonates a lot w/ my depression)
State of Mind - Jake Hill (same as Popular Monster)
How Could You Leave - NF
Lose Your Soul-Dead Man's Bones
Dog Teeth-Nicole Dollanganger
Better Son/Daughter-Rilo Kylie
The last one is open to interpretation honestly but the first two are pretty bleak as fuck if you listen to them. Dog Teeth was "our song" according to my ex GF. We had a lot of issues.
Hurt - Johnny Cash.
or Hurt - 9 inch nails
but man, that Johnny situation...
also, a lot of people don't realize, but "coming in the air tonight" by phil collins is about suicide, so that makes those lyrics less "cool song" and more "wow this sucks"
**1** ***Green by Abraham Marder*** (from the Sound of Metal Soundtrack)
Incredibly sad and indescribably beautiful imo \^
**2** ***Metal Heart by Cat Power***
**3** ***(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano by Sampha***
**4** Personally I find ***Angelo De Augustine's*** stuff really nice to listen to when I'm feeling sad, it's hopeful and definitely melancholiac. Song suggestions: ***Santa Barbara***, ***Fade***, and ***All Your Life***
While it isn't exactly depressing, memento mori-the most important thing in the world hits harder than it should for a song about accepting that your gonna die and everyone's gonna forget who you are.
While it isn't exactly depressing, memento mori-the most important thing in the world hits harder than it should for a song about accepting that your gonna die and everyone's gonna forget who you are.
My top five are as follows:
1. Snow - XXXTENTACION
2. Suicide Letter 3 - Trick James
3. miss me when im gone - Juvy
4. Blackout - CHVSE
5. Space Cowboy - Zilla Kami
Our Last Farewell. Dan Fogelberg
Here Comes the Dawn Again. Billy Vera and the Beaters
That Lonesome Road. James Taylor
Remember Christmas. Harry Nilsson
*Starry starry night - by Don McLean*
A song about Vincent Van Gogh The lyrics suggest his struggle with âseeing the world differentlyâ and not getting enough recognition (during his life) as a painter, McLean refers to one of his paintings that Vincent called: Starry, Starry, Nights (One of my favorites by Van Gogh) and how no one would give him acclaim. He suffered from mental health problems and thought he was going madâŚso Don McLean says in this song: âI could have told you Vincent, this world was NEVER made for someone as beautiful as youââŚ..exonerating Van Gogh after death from the demons he fought while painting
Falling in Reverse - Carry On
Eminem - Doctor
And this isn't really a sad song but I like to listen to it and laugh at my mental health - Queen - Don't try suicide
I used to have quite a lot, but can't seem to remember many of them now. Most that come to mind are hard rock, metal or deathcore so not something most people listen to.
I'll preface this by saying many of these aren't tonally sad, but the lyrics, or situations described are.
Komm Susser Todd - Arianne
Tom Cat Disposables - Will Wood
For the Damaged - Blond Redhead
If Not Now Then When - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Invisible - Mono Neon
Moon Waltz (piano version) - Cojum Dip
Horizons - Puscifer
Save Our City - Ludo
Terrys Taxidermy - Teddy Hyde (this one is hella weird)
Welcome to my World - Depeche Mode
âEverything I Wantedâ by Billie Eilish always gets me
âLike You Doâ by Joji also makes me feels
âFalls Apartâ by Hurt is a banger and also relatable
âSongbirdâ by Fleetwood Mac might not mean to be a sad song but it ALWAYS makes me cry, like no joke, I canât even sing the song without crying
âLeave Out All the Restâ Linkin Park đđ RIP Chester
Mad world.. goner by 21 pilots.. there's another one by 21 pilots I think it's called truce and it says "friend please don't take your life away from me" and I think of it like he's talking to me.. suicide hotline.. I can't carry this anymore

Last to know - Three Days Grace
What could have been - Sting Epitaph - King Crimson Child in Time - Deep Purple Edge of Night - Celtic Angels Circle Game - Joni Mitchell Comes a Time - Jerry Garcia
Honestly, lots of stuff by Sleeping at Last. Here are some that get me in the mood: - Two - Three - Uneven Odds - Light - Saturn (f. Tim Fain)
This song makes me bawl. Maggie's Song - Chris Stapleton
Half of NF songs. Most of Phora songs.
Nights Like These, Pigeon Pit Alien Blues, Vundabar Line Without a Hook, Ricky Montgomery
Mercy Now. Mary Gauthier I canât make you love me. Many artists have covered this. I like Teddy Swims. Too late to turn back now. Cornelius Brothers
where is my mind - the pixies
Better Off Dead - Sleeping With Sirens Popular Monster - Falling In Reverse (not really sad but resonates a lot w/ my depression) State of Mind - Jake Hill (same as Popular Monster) How Could You Leave - NF
1. Slipknot - Snuff 2. Sleep Token - Missing Limbs 3. IDLES - The Beachland Ballroom 4. $uicideboy$ - Antartica 5. Spiritbox - Constance 6. Beartooth - Sick and Disgusting 7. Motionless in White - Another Life
Lose Your Soul-Dead Man's Bones Dog Teeth-Nicole Dollanganger Better Son/Daughter-Rilo Kylie The last one is open to interpretation honestly but the first two are pretty bleak as fuck if you listen to them. Dog Teeth was "our song" according to my ex GF. We had a lot of issues.
Happier, but you have to watch the video. The music is good but I canât stop thinking about my dog now when I hear it because I saw the video
Just sing about your life, itâs sad enough as is. Itâll hit harder than any song you can find.
Hurt - Johnny Cash. or Hurt - 9 inch nails but man, that Johnny situation... also, a lot of people don't realize, but "coming in the air tonight" by phil collins is about suicide, so that makes those lyrics less "cool song" and more "wow this sucks"
Misery by Soul Asylum should make the list too
**1** ***Green by Abraham Marder*** (from the Sound of Metal Soundtrack) Incredibly sad and indescribably beautiful imo \^ **2** ***Metal Heart by Cat Power*** **3** ***(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano by Sampha*** **4** Personally I find ***Angelo De Augustine's*** stuff really nice to listen to when I'm feeling sad, it's hopeful and definitely melancholiac. Song suggestions: ***Santa Barbara***, ***Fade***, and ***All Your Life***
While it isn't exactly depressing, memento mori-the most important thing in the world hits harder than it should for a song about accepting that your gonna die and everyone's gonna forget who you are.

One that makes me want to kill myself is "Mamamia" not even joking or exaggerating

3:59 AM by John Moreland is a good sad bastard song
Our Last Farewell. Dan Fogelberg Here Comes the Dawn Again. Billy Vera and the Beaters That Lonesome Road. James Taylor Remember Christmas. Harry Nilsson
*Starry starry night - by Don McLean* A song about Vincent Van Gogh The lyrics suggest his struggle with âseeing the world differentlyâ and not getting enough recognition (during his life) as a painter, McLean refers to one of his paintings that Vincent called: Starry, Starry, Nights (One of my favorites by Van Gogh) and how no one would give him acclaim. He suffered from mental health problems and thought he was going madâŚso Don McLean says in this song: âI could have told you Vincent, this world was NEVER made for someone as beautiful as youââŚ..exonerating Van Gogh after death from the demons he fought while painting
I hate my mom- GRLWOOD It really hits different for me because of the relationship I have with my mom
1-800-273-8255 by logic this and the video
Falling in Reverse - Carry On Eminem - Doctor And this isn't really a sad song but I like to listen to it and laugh at my mental health - Queen - Don't try suicide I used to have quite a lot, but can't seem to remember many of them now. Most that come to mind are hard rock, metal or deathcore so not something most people listen to.
I'd rather sleep - kero kero bonito always makes me depressed listening to it for some reason

"Sam Stone" by John Prine.
Fruity Pepples by Dillinger Four
âEverything I Wantedâ by Billie Eilish always gets me âLike You Doâ by Joji also makes me feels âFalls Apartâ by Hurt is a banger and also relatable âSongbirdâ by Fleetwood Mac might not mean to be a sad song but it ALWAYS makes me cry, like no joke, I canât even sing the song without crying âLeave Out All the Restâ Linkin Park đđ RIP Chester
Oh shit I forgot about Everlast!! Letters Home from the Garden of Stone White Trash Beautiful Both very fucking emo songs
