Top Five Sad Songs

A List of Some Sad Songs that Have Touched Many People's Hearts

Everyone has a favorite sad song or two that reminds them of a special someone or maybe just a special in time in their lives. Sad songs have been around for years and are surely here to stay. Sad tunes take many people to a special to relive something they thought may have been gone forever. 

While driving down the road, a sad song has the ability to stir up memories that many may have thought were so forgotten that they would never get them back. That's the power of music, and making it a little melancholy can create wonders. It can also bring back heart breaks and times we may rather not remember anymore. One thing for sure is that songs create powerful emotions. Without further ado, here is a list of some of my favorite and unforgettable sad songs of all time.


5) Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac

I heard this song right around the time I was going through a harsh break up with an old high school sweetheart. I identified with some of the lyrics and the song seemed to grab my attention from the very beginning. The song starts out sweet enough ( You could be my Silver Springs/Blue Green colors Flashing/ I will be your only dream/Your Shining Autumn, Oceans Crashing ). Then the sweetness disappears and we learn that this relationship is not all that great ( I begin not to love you/Turn around, see me running/I'll say I loved you years ago/Tell myself you never loved me ). Seems as if the guy decided he could get away with cheating ( Can you tell me was it worth it ?/ Really, I don't want to know ). Every time I heard this song I would mist up because it was basically everything that I was going through during our break-up, right down to my ex deciding to be a d-a-w-g. It's now just a bittersweet song to me since so many years have past, but at one time it was the saddest song to me of all times.

4) Imagine by John Lennon
