Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless.
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless.
Little white flowers will never awaken you,
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you.
Angels have no thought of ever returning you.
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday.

Gloomy is Sunday; with shadows I spend it all.
My heart and I have decided to end it all.
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad, I know.
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you.
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you.
Gloomy Sunday.

a few more

Plaid - "Dead Sea", "Milk", "Undoneson" (though it makes me
happy at the end)

Also the main Zelda theme makes me cry sometimes. So does
"Anxious Heart" from FF7.

dammit I'm about to cry from thinking about all these sad
songs!

I'll second Joy Division. After listening to Closer I need
multiple applications of "Fingerbib" to snap out of the blue
funk.

as far as albums go, Us by Peter Gabriel is the saddest
album in my collection... it's all about failed
relationships, and dealing with that... but it does end on a
hopeful note...

I hear P0g0 on that one, Alberto Balsam is the saddest Aphex
Twin song IMO (but its also one of my fav's), but the
saddest song of all time has to be:

Hayden - When This is Over.

Download it now you will not be dissappointed.

its always cool when you listen to a cd youve had for a
while and a track you didnt really pay much attention to
before suddenly sticks out and affects you...
like brian eno's apollo...i've had this cd for a couple of
months...and have mostly listened to it laying in bed...so
ive always fallen asleep around 'silver morning'...and one
time my stereo's sleep timer didnt shut off...and i woke up
to 'always returning', which wasnt familar to me...and it
took me a few minutes to even realize which cd was playing
(on a 5 disc changer)..but i recognized it..and thought how
nice it was...but then i shut it off and went back to sleep
and kinda forgot about it for a while...
and then just this weekend i decided to listen to the cd
without the potential of falling asleep..and skipped to 'the
nice track near the end' and its since become one of my
favorite tracks...and made apollo one of my favorite
cds...(i already liked most of the tracks i was familiar
with..except the country guitar wankery on tracks 8-9)

hmm..i must be bored...it took me like 15 minutes to compose
this post...with several revisions...which is probably kinda
pointless..since its probably a boring read which will be
skipped over

iz-us is the saddest ever.
its so beautyful and i loved it forever until this girl...
uh, she liked it...
so now everytime its on i think about her.
sometimes in a melancholic, sometimes in a sad and sometimes
even in a happy/sad way.

"all i need" by air comes next

I think it's one of the "happier" songs on SAWII and it
makes me feel warm inside...
