I shouldn’t go on for too long though…your thoughts?
And, download "Checkmate" from freeplaymusic.com, and listen to the part from 1:30 to 1:50. I know this comes from some other song, but I don't know the name of it. Help anyone?
-
Barber's Adagio for Strings.
-
Theme from the movie Platoon.
-
Cat's in the cradle isn't by Ugly Kid Joe although there may be a remake. The origial was by Harry Chapin(sp) It does become a very sad song after you loose your Father.
Moody Blues: Lucky Man
Moody Blues: Knights in White Satin
Kansas: Dust in the wind
Blue Oyster Cult: Don't Fear the Reaper
Heart: Blue Lamp (When watching Heavy Metal)
Simon & Garfunkel: Just about every song :D
Warren Zevon: Wreck of the Edmon Fitzgearld(sp)
7:00 time to grab a beer an put the upbeat tunes on.
And for some strange reason the random play decided to start with:
Live: Lightning Crashes
-
Black Hawk Down.
neo-Battlestar Galactica.
-
BB: That was Adagio for Strings in Platoon. :)
-
And in Homeworld!

Kissing in the Rain from Great Expectations

Lucia De Lamemoor - The Opera part sung in Fifth Element
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4MR6D7tL38U&feature=related
Never though I'd enjoy a song as sung by what looks like a Minbari warship with legs...
-
And in Homeworld!
A common misconception. The music piece heard in Homeworld is "Agnus Dei", a liturgical hymn written centuries ago and eventually adapted to Barber's "Adagio for Strings".
-
Kinda skipped over the list, don't usually pay attention to who does what... But I know Everything Burns is a sad one. Some others of Erik's are sad too, but I don't feel like figuring out which ones they were.
-
You did say +music so:
Juliet's Funeral, Juliet's Death - Prokofiev
Symphony 6, 4th movement - Tchaikovsky
Piano trio (various parts) - Tchaikovsky
Piano trio 2 (most of it) - Shostakovich
Vocalise - Rachmaninov
-
Forgot one of my favourites!

Lux Aeterna (requiem for a dream)?
you don't get much more //wrists than that.
as cliched as it is now it is so for a good reason, think about the first time you heard the song, you immediately recognized it as a song about loss. a downward unending spiral of hopeless despair, everything you ever knew or loved slowly withering to ash in your hands and there is nothing you can do about it. it is almost funny how depressing it is.
-
"Da le belle contrade"-- Cipriano de Rore
Pavane pour une infante defunte-- Ravel
Thomas Tallis' Lamentations of Jeremiah
Eric Whitacre's setting of When David Heard...
Lamentate-- Arvo Pärt

Ah! Thank you.
-
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Symphony No. 5 in D Major: III - Romanza: Lento.
As with a lot of his earlier orchestral works, it's both incredibly sad and somehow happy. It seems nostalgic to me. Almost as if the music is describing a happy place that either never really existed or has since departed from the world. The focal points and orchestral swells are gorgeous, and almost tear jerking in a nostalgic way.
EDIT: Darn you Spicious for posting Tchaikovksy 6 before I could. :p
-
And in Homeworld!
And Elephant Man.

Dammit, that one made me sad :(.
-
Throw in the theme from Schindlers List
-
I don't know why, but the Independance day one always gets me.............
ALso the HW/PLatoon obvious things... Also the Movie "Fluke" featuring the dog, when i was a lad that got me choked as hell.
Don't laugh :p
-
You might not know this one, it's an oldie..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFApRedU95M
I was very young and my mother was watching this one, I remember getting too involved in the movie, the ending finished me.
-
Almost everything Harry Chapin ever wrote, all of his songs are sad to varying degrees. They're good though. Beyond Cats in a Cradle, I particularly recommend Taxi, Mr. Tanner, and A Better Place to Be.
Meatloaf has some sad ones too: Objects in the Rear View Mirror
BarenakedLadies - War on Drugs (quite sad and a departure from their usual songs)
and proving I listen to a very strange collection of songs, also:
Gomen Nasi - Tatu
Life is a Boat - Rie Fu
-
When bruce dies in armageddon :(
-
Brian Tyler - Inama Nushif. A little bit like the tune from Gladiator maybe.
That choked me up.
Oh and the theme from Saving Private Ryan, 'Hymn to the Fallen' I think it's called. By John Williams IIRC.
-
James Horner's Score for The Land Before Time and "If We Hold On Together" by Diana Ross from the same film
-
:lol: I'ts funny because it's true...........also when Bambi's mum died.
NB- Not seen it since i was about six so I'm allowed to reminisce.
-
Two really sad piano tracks:
Naglfar - A Departure In Solitude
Dissection - No Dreams Breed In Breathless Sleep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdBCM0c6q0o
-
They're ok :nod:
What i can't find, but desperatley need (mp3 if poss) is the theme from "The Littlest Hobo" repeat HOBO!......... Dang i used to love that dog/wolf thing when i was a kid.
"Every stop i make, i make a new friend....etc"
-
'Maybe tomorrow, I'd like to settle down....' Or something. Yeah I too remember that.

-
Yep. I was about to mention Christopher Franke's work on the B5 soundtracks. I was surprised no one mentioned them earlier. :)
-
I was going to mention one but Terran Emperor beat me to it.
There's a track from I-War 2 that's kind of sad, sort of a flute/cello (I'm pants at recognising instruments) with piano combo.
-
Which one was it? Dragonheart?
Oh BTW lostlama, thanks for that music file :yes:
