For me it’s Of Countless Stars, the final dungeon theme of Endwalker.
- Sad music when you’re sad is, ironically, a way to feel better, or at least to feel safer. In those moments, feeling like you’re psychically alone is devastating, and music that reminds you that other people have felt like you do is a tether to connect you to people when you’re at your lowest.
- Loreena McKennitt is superior to Enya.
- Neither of them wrote the world’s saddest song. A redneck from Bandera, Texas wrote the world’s saddest song. Sorry for the Spotify link.
Weapons grade sad song: Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel.
You are all wrong, the worlds saddest song is this; https://youtu.be/mGtrNZwqpCY
Sometimes it really does have to get worse before it gets better.
This but watching Scrubs for me, some of those episodes just hit you like a ton of bricks. It’s cathartic…
“Where do you think we are right now?”
I guess no one’s an Enya fan, eh?
OP, do i have a story for you. I got the original Xbox in 2002. I found that one could copy music from CDs to the hard drive, and so i threw some Enya on there so i could listen to calming music while I studied. Later I put some Linkin Park, Incubus, The Offspring, and some other stuff on, and forgot about the Enya music.
Later I bought the X-Men Official Game, and while playing it, found out one could set the game music to stuff stored on the Xbox. So I’m running around, killing stuff with my big ole wolverine claws, and jamming out to Somewhere I Belong. Imagine my surprise as my killing spree continues and I hear “Who can say where the rain goes…”
NGL, it was pretty funny, but my roommate would not let it slide.
He called me Enya for the rest of the year. Or say “I’m Enya Mom”, or “I’m gonna be Enya sister tonight”.
Good times
Wake … from your sleep.
The drying of your teeeeeaaaaars.
Today … we escape.
We escaaaaaape.
Pack… and get dressed
Befooooore your father heeeeaaars us
Before… all hell
Breaks loose
nice.
While I don’t think that one is there but they did a psychedelic game experience on Playstation (maybe others) and the way they did some of those songs like pyramid song and how to disappear completely were remarkable.
the squealing tires, the busting glass…
the painful screams that I…heard last
44 Second Mark
Get Better by Alt-J is one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, and it hits in just the way you’re talking about. Hurts so good.
