This is my entry for the contest. Had to reach into my collection for a couple songs I haden't listened to in awhile. All of these songs envoke a sad feeling both through lyrics and music.
Hope you enjoy, will post a link once it has finished uploading.

Track 7 from Surfacing
Length: 00:04:28 Year: 1997 |
|
Track Description:
Sarah McLachlan is one of my guilty pleasures. Her singing on this song is so beautiful it could probably make a biker cry. The song was written about the Smashing Pumpkins touring keyboard player who overdosed on heroin. "Spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There’s always one reason To feel not good enough And it’s hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh beautiful release Memory seeps from my veins Let me be empty And weightless and maybe I’ll find some peace tonight."

Track 5 from Garden State Soundtrack
Length: 00:05:20 Year: 2004 |
|
Track Description:
I didn't want to put this on here due to it already being present on a mix for the contest and the overuse of this track and others from the Garden State Soundtrack (I'm guilty), but this song is one of the first that came to mind. The accoustics and singing have such a sombre feeling and of course the lyrics are great. "Your face it dances and it haunts me Your laughter's still ringing in my ears I still find pieces of your presence here Even after all these years But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner 'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do Even though I may soon feel the touch of love I just don't think I'll ever get over you."

Track 5 from Damnation
Length: 00:04:29 Year: 2003 |

Track Description:
Probably the sadest song in the Opeth catalog and one of my favorites. Probably their strongest song lyrically. I connect with this song on many levels. "Gone through days without talking There is a comfort in silence So used to losing all ambition Struggling to maintain what's left There is a wound that's always bleeding There is a road I'm always walking And I know you'll never return to this place" SHOW LESS

Not a big fan of this album, but this is an amazing song. Beautifully written, beautifully sung, and beautifully produced. "You in the sea On a decline Breaking the waves Watching the lights go down Letting the cables sleep Whatever you say its alright Whatever you do its all good Whatever you say its alright Silence is not the way We need to talk about it If heaven is on the way" SHOW LESS

Nothing but piano, vocals, mellotron, and a lot of reverb. Last (non-hidden) track from In Absentia. Again beautiful and sad. "I wont heal given time I wont try to change your mind I won't feel better in the cold light of the day But I wouldn't stop you, if you wanted to stay" SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Great song I heard first while watching Donnie Darko. It has a very depressing feel to it. "And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world" SHOW LESS

Track 10 from Night Bugs
Length: 00:03:46 Year: 2002 |
|
Track Description:
This song, along with the next, is one of the saddest sounding songs I've ever heard. This song is a sort of inner dialog, which reminds me very much of my favorite poem: "The Lovesong of J. Afred Proofrock." "She has such an awful lot of soldiers Quite a lovely army all her own Night and day they stand before the fortress Very safe but very all alone." SHOW LESS

Track 8 from Violence in the Snowy Fields
Length: 00:06:02 Year: 2004 |
|
Track Description:
This song is slightly more up-beat sounding to keep you from killing yourself after the last stretch. Although, it talks about death so I may have failed. Feels somewhat akin to the next song "Hurt." "When I have my day The song that I sing Carries back to the source And back through them and [me] Did you know others Your voice, your king Once was your slave." SHOW LESS

Track 14 from The Downward Spiral
Length: 00:06:14 Year: 1994 |
|
Track Description:
Extremely sad, powerful song written by Trent Reznor. Just as effective (more to some) when sang by Johnny Cash. I prefer the NIN version, but definitely considered Mr. Cash's due to how powerful the context and video were. "What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt." SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Beautiful and malencholy, but not too much. Great way to end. "Now at last I know What a fool I've been For I've lost the last love I shall ever win Now at last I see How my heart was blind To the joys before me That I left behind." SHOW LESS
