Help I need more diverse sad songs

[Thanatos]

Hey everyone it's been a while since I've posted but the community seems to be thriving(thanks devs.) I have a playlist of sad songs bit they are all to my style and/or songs I've known for a while. Please check it out if you have time and leave suggestions here. Also feel free to follow if you like the list.

 

[Nuggest]

Not exactly matching my definition of sad, but since you included Radiohead you could try Muse. They released tons of depressing songs.

 

[GrimeGlow]

Scrolled through and most of the artists from that list I don't know honestly, especially the young generation emo-rapers, but suprised you didn't add song Goner by Twenty One Pilots, since they are already on the list.

For me the most suicidal/depressive music comes from Dan Barrett projects: Giles Corey and Have A Nice Life like to the point it gets uncomfortable. This is probably the most weepy thing I came across recently.

 

[paroxyical]

No surprises - radiohead
Listen before i go - billie eilish
Deathbed - powfu
Any day now - elbow
Cancer - my chemical romance / twenty one pilots
addict with a pen, trapdoor, air catcher, before you start your day - all by twenty one pilots

Not gonna lie.. hurt isn't the saddest nine inch nails song imo
I'd recommend:
La mer, ripe (with decay), leaving hope, right where it belongs, something I can never have, zero sum, in this twilight, the downward spiral

Also, in terms of other bands:
Blur - caramel (other blur songs include sing, resigned, Yuko and Hiro, tender), rhcp - porcelain, oasis - sad song, muse - endlessly,

 

[Soul]

How about Tom Petty's Breakdown? Goodnight Irene — for example Keith Richards's rendition? Buried Alive by Ronnie Wood? Love in Vain, by either Robert Johnson or the Rolling Stones? Killing Floor Blues by Skip James?

 

[Smokey]

An old entry from 2002 from the UK hip hop scene, it might not to most people's taste but it is worth a listen.

 

[notjustyetagain]

here's some contrasting styles. tom waits: his own genre.

Spoiler: Tom Waits - Burma Shave

classical - neo-baroque - orchestral: karajan's conducting is essential here.

Spoiler: Giazotto [GIYF] - Adagio in G Minor

classical - romantic - solo pf: sokolov's breathing somehow adds to it.

Spoiler: Chopin - Prelude No. 4 in E Minor

 

[Worthless loser]

 

[soulreaper]

At the end of days, at the end of time
When the sun burns out will any of this matter?
Who will be there to remember who we were?
Who will be there to know that any of this had meaning for us?
And in retrospect I'll say we've done no wrong
Who are we to judge what's right and what has purpose for us?
With designs upon ourselves to do no wrong,
Running wild unaware of what might come of us
The sun was born and so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
Each day shall end as it begins
And though you're far away from me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me
The sun was born and so it shall die
So only shadows comfort me
I know in darkness I will find you giving up inside like me

 

[Thinking]

This is by far my favorite:


If you like this song, some of his other songs are also really good, like "sad" and "broken again"
