Hmm…lately I find myself having more and more mood swings…been having lots of chocolates lately to put up with the mood swings. And it’s even worse when you can’t cry it out. So I’ve been scouting quite a bit for sad songs. And since there were a number of people who asked me for some suggestions..I thought why not put up a list of some songs that might help some people feel better.
Okay I’ll start off with some songs in random order…
1. Everytime - Britney Spears
Okay…you may think "wth…a britney song?" But really…this song made me cry one time when i was really down and i instantly felt much better.
2. Everything - Lifehouse
One of the songs that I find really moving…especially the part where the song goes:
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
3. Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
A really sad song he recorded after his son died. Listen carefully to the lyrics…
4. Butterfly Kisses - not so sure who’s the actual singer
Hmm…it’s sad in the part when his daughter is gonna marry her new husband.
5. I Miss You - Blink 182
One of the newer songs…but it’s still sad
6. God’s Will - Martina McBride
A song about a boy who has this problem with his legs and health.
7. Best I Ever Had - Vertical Horizon
A very very very sad song… Quite popular among sad songs
8. Adam’s Song - Blink 182
9. Two Beds and A Coffee Machine - Savage Garden
This song is seriously sad…the intro itself makes you feel the sadness in this song… Lyrics need to be understood
10. I’ve Never Been To Me - Charlene
This is one of my all time favourite song…it’s an oldie. About this girl who done many things that she regretted and is giving advice to another girl. Listen several times to fully understand the lyrics
11. Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
Another favourite sad song of mine…
12. Close To You - The Carpenters
Oldies oldies oldies… The Carpenters have very good songs… This particular one is my favourite
13. Superstar - The Carpenters
Nice and sad
14. Yesterday Once More - The Carpenters
Another one of my absolute favourite Carpenters song…helps when you’re sad.
When they get to the part where he’s breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before, it’s yesterday once more
15. Goodbye To Love - The Carpenters
16. Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters
17. 9,999,999 Tears - Dickey Lee
A favourite…it doesn’t sound very sad…but listen to the lyrics
18. Here With Me - Dido
I first heard this song in the movie Love Actually…the situation was that the guy just confessed his love to a girl who happens to be his best friend’s wife and I felt this song suited it.
Oh I am what I am
I’ll do what I want
But I can’t hide
I won’t go
I won’t sleep
I can’t breathe
Until you’re resting here with me
I won’t leave
I can’t hide
I cannot be
Until you’re resting here with me
Anyway I reccommend anyone to watch that movie…it’s really the sweetest love movie ever…especially during Christmas time
19. Amazed - Duncan James
I like the new Duncan James version better than the original one…for some reason.
20. Crying in the Rain - Everly Brothers
There was a chinese cover verson of this song by the Taiwanese group 5566…but i’ll take the english one anytime
21. There You’ll Be - Faith Hill
I just love this song….and I think you should watch the movie too (Pearl Harbour) It made me cry
22. Say It Isn’t So - Gareth Gates
This was released a few years back…the video is kinda sad too
23. Too Serious Too Soon - Gareth Gates
It’s been a rainy afternoon
Now I’m staring at the moon
Thinking we got too serious too soon
24. What My Heart Wants To Say - Gareth Gates
Very sweet lyrics…(at least to me)
If the words don’t come my way
Hope you still know
Hope it still shows
If the words don’t come my way
Hope you still know
What my heart wants to say
25. The One You Love - Glenn Fredly (Eagles)
There was a time where I was so crazy over this song…I kept repeating it over and over again. Lyrics are good…
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you?
Or are you going back to the one you love?
Someone’s gonna cry when the thought they lost you
Someone’s gonna thank the stars above
26. Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
This song’s very well known…as a sad song
27. Ghost Of You - Good Charlotte
I’ve taken a sudden liking towards Good Charlotte’s songs…this is one of my favourites
A ghost of you
is all that I have left
is all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there’s no one there but me
and nothing left of what we were at all
28. Hold On - Good Charlotte
This song keeps you holding on…
29. We Believe - Good Charlotte
Good songs with good lyrics
30. Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance) - Green Day
I absolutely love Green Day…
31. Macy’s Day Parade - Green Day
A friend of mine asked me to listen to this song and I immediately got hooked to it… Sad lyrics
32. Jesus Of Suburbia - Green Day
Quite popular too…as a sad song… Understand the lyrics
33. Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
This song became quite famous so you won’t actually consider it to sound sad… But listen to the lyrics…
34. Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Sad song…and the video too… I didn’t actually cry after watching the video…but my eyes got kinda teary

Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in
40. I Love You Came Too Late - Joe/Joey McIntyre
Joey McIntyre has several other songs that are not that bad… Try listening to them..
Okay…there’s a list of only 40 songs…I’ll continue them tomorrow or later… Gotta go to bed now…
By the way..these songs are what I consider sad…it might not be sad in you opinion…
However, hope you enjoyed it…!!! It always good to let it out… And yeah…there’s this other song… It’s Okay To Cry by Amanda Wilkinson… I found it by accident and I reccomend it to anyone having a bad day…
