[Complete!] 105 sad songs (90s-00s)

[old spice]

Here are a few more that I love from the 90s too! I dunno if 68 is sad but it breathes life and feeling into my decaying old heart in a manner that suggests it is.

67. 'No Surprises' - Radiohead


68. 'At My Most Beautiful' - R.E.M.


69. 'Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space' - Spiritualized


70. 'The Promise' (Studio Outtake from Tracks) - Bruce Springsteen


71. 'Look on Down from the Bridge' - Mazzy Star (obv 'Fade Into You' as well but no one talks about this one)


72. 'No Distance Left to Run' - Blur


Okay, I'll stop, sorry! I like sad songs. Those first four legit break me.

We learnt about the story behind the song in religious education at school. Poor boy

He's a fascist. Fuck him.

I wasn't too intrigued by him, felt more sad about his little son though.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Better off without that piece of shit as a father.

Obviously I don't think it's better that he died. Adoption might have been better.

Spoiler

According to this 2022 poll the saddest of all time (though there are sadder REM songs)

Spoiler: This Enya track reminds me of that song

I like this version better than IDWK, wonder what Enya thinks of it?

Spoiler

Was also Enya's favourite radio song at the time Q6 of this interview :-D
I think after finding that out I went and found out the rest of the lyrics.

 

[Inner Smile]

Oh god not THE TING TINGS

Couldn't stand them

(The song itself, but I like the beach, Orange seems okay, and Mark as 4th Doctor Who )

There are 9 including mine that seem to be outside 90s-00s (5 of which are 1989 or 2010-11 which are close enough). Maybe allow a few more at the end, if that happens before 2025..!

Perhaps the most sad (suicidal) song sung by Enya.

 

[disneyteletubby]

It somehow leads me onto this song that I've known forever
88.

Spoiler: More sad demo version

I think this sounds more sad/desperate, but I like the final/clean/radio version best. ♡

 

[disneyteletubby]

This was about to play next and I mentioned it previously in this thread
89.

90.



Pointlessly small text referring to Enya and a sexual experience your mum once had to this song.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Okay 90s/00s children's shows
91. "Someday I'll Win" (Someday the theme tune is more happy/cool but this seems more sad, at least near the beginning )

 

[disneyteletubby]

92.

Lonely This Christmas inspired (then happy at the end )

Spoiler: Liked by Carrie and David 🤗 also trans allies add them to list

@GALA is there something you would like to get off your chest here?

 

[Inner Smile]

I've noticed comments here and there, I am NOT that Sharla person. You've got it wrong
