As an ex-music writer/critic (an oxymoron if ever there was one) I love lists. This one is solid and very similar to one that was published in The Guardian a while back. I'd add Last Day of Our Acquaintance, by Sinead O'Connor... she's got a few that are good to be morose to. Another one I like to put on to laugh at myself to when I get too maudlin is She's Leaving Me Because She Really Wants to, by Lyle Lovett... Better Off Without A Wife by Tom Waits works well for that too.
Slash was fucking awesome...
Listening to Eddie Hazel playing Maggot Brain can break hearts without lyrics!
Janis Ian "In the Winter" and Roxy Music "End of the Line" are fine for wallowing. Also, if your heartbreak is fresh, "Ne Me Quitte Pas" by Jaques Brel is good, but if you have humiliated yourself in the process, "Ne Me Quitte Pas" by Rod McKuen is appropriate.
Good list, but I'm a little bewildered as to how you chose "The Last Time I Saw Richard" when "A Case of You" is right there on the same album and the previous track to boot! To me, that's the obvious choice if you're going to go the Joni Mitchell route.
I would also add "Trouble" by Cat Stevens and "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt. Or "Love Has no Pride" or about 5 others by her.
Lydsar - Some good ones here... Definitely like Trouble by Cat Stevens, but 'Case of you' is not a depressing song, it's a love song, it's an uplifting song... last time I saw richard is a song which talks about a depressed disaffected artist who is never satisfied, hence the perfect song for me to listen to with a broken heart...
dval - a bunch of different versions of ne me quitte pas, even a few different ones by Brel himself. My favorite one is the one with the creepy theramin on it.
recycled - I agree with you on maggot brain, one of my all time favorites, but for me it's not specifically sad, there's sadness in it, but it's not the crux..
looby - yeah, fucking ridiculous
Your list of previous posts is getting tooooooo long! I barely had time to scroll down and leave a comment.
Is Angie on yer list? Rolling Stones.
And Little Wing by ol Mr Hendrix is a weepy.
Broken Stones by Paul Weller makes me howl if I am homesick.
As a child, I used to cry to Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys.
You'd have to be English and have listened to Ed Stewart's Junior Choice to realise that's funny though.
Yeah.. it was between Angie and No expectations for me, I went with No expectations..
For KG, it was Painted from Memory (whole album) - Elvis Costello
For PG, it was Over My Head - Fleetwood Mac
For EF, it was I'm Going to Make You Love Me - D. Ross and the Supremes
Time - makes me sadder than perhaps any song, ever
For No one - one of my top 5 Beatle songs
haha, okay, I guess "The Last Time I Saw Richard" makes more sense in that context. Funny though, I've never interpreted "A Case of You" as an uplifting song. I mean, it begins "Just before our love got lost..." I'd say it's ambivalent and open-ended at best. "Go to him, stay with him if you can, but be prepared to bleed". To me it's about being unwilling to give someone up because you love them so much, even though you know things are going downhill. Of course everyone takes different things away from songs.
very cool to hear everyone's sad songs...
Yeah Waits actually has a million sad songs.. probably could do a whole top 40 with just his alone...

lydsar - yeah I see your point... then again you could probably pick any song off of Joni Mitchell's Blue and get a sense of yearning... That album is a masterpiece of menlancholy, yearning, and gut-wrenching-ness...
Zeit--totally agree about "Blue". Kudos for mentioning "The Piano Has Been Drinking".
AHG--Yes, Little Wing! The lyrics don't even matter, the guitar is pain itself.
Thing is, we're all talking about GOOD songs. I'd love to see someone post a list of cheesy, guilty pleasure sob songs that you can only listen to when you're really busted over someone. I'll go first: "Missing You" by John Waite
Cheesy top 40 sob songs? Time After Time, by Cyndi Lauper
Pretty much anything by Townes Van Zandt works for mulling over heartache, even songs that aren't about love and loss. For a real sob-fest, Steve Earle's My Old Friend The Blues works pretty well too.
Lydsar - yeah you see, it depends on your definition of 'cheesy'... I mean, I love 'Against all odds' by phil collins, and 'open arms' by Journey, but these to me are great songs...
Recycled - yeah, this really should be a top 100 list... My townes song would be ' the tower song'... that's a heartbreaker.
Song missing from the Tom Waits list that provides a theme for this entire post: Grapefruit Moon.
"'Cause every time I hear that melody/something breaks inside/and the grapefruit moon/one star shining/can't turn back the tide."
Zeit-Well, some things can by cheesy AND great. Journey and Phil Collins are really good examples of this phenomenon. They elevate cheesy to an art form. Nothing wrong with that.
recycled--must disagree on both counts. I think "Time After Time" is neither cheesy nor a sob song.
I agree.. time after time is not a cheesy song... another Lauper heartbreaker is 'true colors'...
haha, yes, wasn't going to say it first but "True Colors" is the shit! Actually, that's the cover I play if I feel like I'm losing the crowd. Works like a charm. Also, although not necessarily a good self-pity sob song, it's great when played as a totally sentimental cheer-up tribute to a friend who's nursing a broken heart.
I'll admit... I've shed a tear or two listening to true colors...
You should listen to 'Almost Lover' by A Fine Frenzy
