Unfortunately, it has an added layer of sadness because I lost my best friend in a way that mimics the song and we both loved that song while he was alive
From a Robert Smith interview: www.rollingstone.com/.../ "I’d forgotten that some of the songs actually have a … [pauses] “Prayers for Rain” in particular, there’s something incredibly bleak and disturbing about it as a song. "
Robert Smith, on the cover of the album, is the leader of The Cure. He made a guest appearance on the "Mechastreisand" episode of South Park.
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The aching kiss before I feed The stench of a love for a younger meat And the sound that it makes When it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of duplicities As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go My party piece
But I never said I would stay to the end So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the scenery Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both us knew How the ending would be…
So it’s all come back round to breaking apart again Breaking apart like I’m made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again Round and round and round And it’s coming apart again Over and over and over
Now that I know that I’m breaking to pieces I’ll pull out my heart And I’ll feed it to anyone Crying for sympathy Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd And the three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky Through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth Through the mouth of your eye Through the eye of the needle It’s easier for me to get closer to heaven Than ever feel whole again
I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs Pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and Stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both of us knew How the end always is
You shatter me Your grip on me A hold on me So dull it kills You stifle me Infectious sense Of hopelessness and Prayers for rain I suffocate I breathe in dirt And nowhere shines But desolate And drab the hours all spent On killing time again All waiting for The rain
You fracture me Your hands on me A touch so plain So stale it kills You strangle me Entangle me In hopelessness and Prayers for rain I deteriorate I live in dirt And nowhere glows But drearily and tired The hours all spent On killing time again All waiting for The rain
This is going to sound crazy because I absolutely love music I love the vibe I love the tone the tune the beat the Rhythm everything about music I love but I cannot tell use the name of one song LOL and you would think that I would know the words to a song If I really like it I mean I do know some words but it all Blends into a Harmony into one emotional beat in rhythm and that's all I have to hear I don't have to hear the words to make it a sad song the musical tell me how sad it really is if that makes sense
This song was sad on it's own, even more sad now that he took his life, being so relatable to anyone who have struggled with suicidal thoughts, feeling like they are the only that cares in a world that is so cold.
Next one is from one of my favorite bands, it's heavy on metaphors and symbolism, but I really love what they did with both the music video and the lyrics in this one.
When I first heard why Eric Clapton wrote "Tears in Heaven," it gave me understanding that I did not have before. Here's a explanation from google: "The song is a tribute to love's lasting powers and a lament for the death of Clapton's four-year-old son, Conor, who died on 20 March 1991 when he accidentally slipped from the 53rd-floor window of a New York City apartment building." I also have a four year old son and cannot imagine what that would be like. https://youtu. be/-gbDPJTPYNs
"Wings For Marie, pt 1" and "10,000 Days (Wings, pt 2)" by Tool.
His mother was paralyzed from a stroke for 27 years and some change (roughly 10,000 days) and passed away. The song and album title is a tribute to her, and does a complete 180 from the last song he wrote about her, "Judith" by A Perfect Circle, which was strongly critical to her faith: "Fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ," "Praise for one who left you broken down and paralyzed. He did it all for you."
I mean the video helps this a lot to be sad but it is the saddest song.
Some songs need context. Much to the same of Parasyte The Maxim, Next to you. And then of course the Tokyo Ghoul, Unravel. Then there is silent hill songs which are all ambience within sadness and darkness.
There is also good rap songs out there like skydxddy songs she's got some stuff that when you think about is rough. It's a bit like how Stan or when I am gone is something really good by Eminem.

I think No Tears Left to Cry by Ariana Grande is both sad and hopeful. Also a lot of folk ballads are very sad (Mary Hamilton by Joan Baez because the girl gets executed for killing her baby at the end).
It's amateur hour over here, these new songs aren't sad. Here's parts of two great classical music pieces from the earlier part of the 1900's, used in two great movies
Michael Longcor's "This Old Dog"; you can probably guess why. Also Billy Joel's "Leningrad". And a good third of all Irish folk songs; like Chesterton said, "all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad".
