Miserable, beautiful songs

[Carzy]

If you want a sad beautiful piece of music with violins then this will take some beating

I can't listen to that song without waiting for Tiesto's beats to kick in

 

[One More Solo]

I can't listen to that song without waiting for Tiesto's beats to kick in

Ferry > Tiesto

 

[GarethDW]

If we're talking classical pieces, then this is a favourite, imo...

Gymnopedie #1 - by Erik Satie

Otherwise the Manics was a good call...

 

[Raymond Lin]

Most Enya songs.

 

[soleside]

Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me

 

[One More Solo]

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

 

[Bakedgoods]

Snow Patrol - Set fire to the third bar

 

[fini]

The Verve = The Drugs Don't Work

can't believe it took that long for someone to mention it. The whole of the Urban Hymns album is legendary - and sadly depressing as hell.

 

[Bakedgoods]

Going to see The Verve in November, that song never came to mind but it is great though

 

[malolo]

Third Eye Blind - Slow Motion

 

[Jensen]

Anything from Talk Talk's last 2 albums (Spirit of Eden/Laughing Stock)

Not really orchestral, but all hauntingly beautiful

 

[unclelonghair]

3 Doors Down - Away From the Sun

 

[Doohickey]

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

Oh bloody hell yes.

I will add

Sia - Breathe Me

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Some great suggestions in here. One from me now!

Saosin - You're Not Alone

 

[titaniumx3]

A Perfect Circle - Three Libras

A Perfect Circle - The Noose

Orestes is my favourite, a depressed but beautiful song. Breña is good too, similar in tone.

BTW, I think Agalloch - Our Fortress Is Burning... II - Bloodbirds is an incredibly depressing song. It's actually in three parts but the ending to the second part is just epic, gives me goosebumps every time.

 

[Meatball]

GregoRy And The Hawk - Boats & Birds

One of my all time favourites!

BTW: You've got mail (Trust EMail)

 

[Adnams Drinker]

If you want a sad beautiful piece of music with violins then this will take some beating

Music doesn't get much more moving than that - brings a lump to my throat everytime I hear it ...

 

[BillHicksRIP]

What's that Springstein song in Jerry Maguire....something about a 'garden' in the title? I can't remember.
Anyway, that's quite a miserable but beautiful song.
Always brings a tear to my eye *sob*
