Playlist of my favourite sad songs

 Hi Charlie ! 

As this is my very first article on this blog I thought I would make a  short playlist as a way of introducing myself (more like introducing my music taste, but to me it tells everything one needs to know about a person ). 

So as sadness is my everyday mood (just kidding), here is a compilation of songs that make me cry nearly everytime I listen to them, so they can be beautiful, sad or simply remind me of something sad, some of them also get me emotional for no reason. I will also give some context and a quick explanation of why they touch me for most of the songs. When I don't, it is because I consider that the mere beauty of the song's lyrcis and/or melody is enough to make me cry, but it doesn't mean I appreciate them less than the others. 

Just so that you know, I cry ridiculously easily, that's why the list can seem long. ( I  have already cried because people were throwing stones at a pigeon, and it wasn't so long ago )

Btw : some songs aren't in english and can be french or japanese, sorry. 

- Angie, The Rolling Stones

This is basically my favourite song by The Rolling Stones, I love really its instrumental, its melody and the way Mick Jagger sings it is amazing and always brings tears in my eyes. 

- Flamme à Lunettes, Dionysos

This one  doesn't actually make me cry, but I still find it incredibly beautiful and touching. It is from a french  animated movie : "Jack et la Mecanique du Coeur", which I strongly recommend to you if you haven't watched it, it is really poetic and its visual content is very pretty. 

- Fuyunohanashi, Given

This song does make me cry everytime I listen to it. It is from an anime called "Given" that I really loved watching. In this anime, the song is sang in a concert by one of the main character Mafuyu and tells a very touching story. The scene in which he sings this song was really full of emotions. 

- Hey Jude, the Beatles

- J'ai demandé à la lune, Indochine

I used to listen to this song a lot when I was younger so it makes me feel really nostalgic. I also love every single song from Indochine. 

- Me and my husband, Mitski

I recently discovered the incredible artist that Mistki is and ever since I can't stop listening to her songs, especially this one, which really marked me mainly because of its lyrics. 

"And I am the idiot with the painted face, 

In the corner, taking up space"

- O children, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

It is once more a lovely song to listen to, and it  appears in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (p1)" during the scene in which Harry and Hermione dance together as bestfriends ( I don't want to hear anything about shipping these two it would clearly be an incest relationship ). 

 

- On Melancholy Hill, Gorillaz 

For this one it is according to me the intrumental that does everything. I mean the lyrics are also really good, but the melody simply hits different. This is one of my favourite songs from Gorillaz. 

- Over the Rainbow, Israel Kamakawivo'ole

- Scarborough Fair / Canticle, Simon and Garfunkel

- Tabidachi no Uta 3-nen E Gumi, Shoko Fujibayashi

It is the context of this song that makes me literally melt in tears everytime I hear it. Yes, it is again because it comes with a sad scene. In this case, it was the  death of a very attaching  character in Assassination Classroom ( for those who have watched it you know who it is ), but I am afraid of spoiling anyone who hasn't and wants to watch this anime until the end. 

- The Sound of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel

- Washing Machine Heart, Mitski

And that's it ! I hope you enjoyed this article, it was a pleasure for me to share these great songs and cry over them again. 

Have a nice week-end ! :)
