Just as the topic states, what was the saddest song you ever listened to? List as many as you can (just don't go too crazy!), as long as you can classify the song itself as being sad (i.e. makes you feel very sad). The song can be instrumental or in any language.
The goal is to understand how people interpret music. If you can explain why that specific song makes you feel sad, or what comes to your mind when you listen to that song that makes you feel sad, please do so.
I'll start:
Artist: Akino Arai
Track: Solitude
Language: Japanese
The song's words are supposed to reflect happy experiences, that is until the last few lines of the song. It makes me feel that happiness is so fragile, and that life can turn into a nightmare in a split second where all of a sudden you're left alone in solitude. As you remain in solitude with just your thoughts to keep you company, all that exists is sadness that engulfs you and increases in intensity. A world with only you...and no one else around. The pleasurable experiences like smelling the scent of grass, or the wind blowing through you hair reminds you of nothing but the pain that you're alone. The pleasurable experiences bring you pain precisely because they remind you that you really are alone. Memories haunt you, and all you can do is remain in solitude as the tears fill your eyes...
