Your favorite sad and angry songs

[lucimay]

this is one of the saddest songs EVER...

but you have to hear her singing it, it's just... gut-wrenching.

The Taxi Ride
jane siberry

it's clear to me now
i understand
a jump of cards
in an idle man's hand
ohhh... you're sleeping
this is the story
of your leaving

i can win you with reason
i can make you agree
the way that i love you
it only makes sense
that you love me
but
down through
the sad facts
i'm sifting
you did not think this
without help from me

i've called a taxi
it's coming a dawn
i said send the best one
it's a long, long lonely ride
to find the perfect lover
for your lover
and the morning light is breaking

thought i heard
someone screaming outside
but it was just a bus
pulling away

love is a strange thing
it depends what one gives
and sometimes to give means
give someone away
ohhhh... you're sleeping
the same sad pillow
said you're leaving

i move with your breathing
i breathe with your beauty
your sweet heaviness
yourdeepvoice yoursoftneck ipressmyface
...did you call me?...
it's only the trees outside flailing
it's only the sirens that are wailing

hurry up driver
you're going too slow
can't you go faster
it's a long, long, lonely ride
to find the perfect lover
for your lover
and the morning light's just breaking

and then you realize you are alone
and your skin against the cold
metal of awareness you fall into
a deeper dreamless slumber and
a stranger enters the room and
is struck by the transparency of
your cheeks and then your arms
and hands and wonders at the
waxen figure and walks out again
the stranger walks out into the
street watching cars pass and
people cross and scenery change
he sees a palm frond thinks how
ugly --- is surprised by the violence
of the thought looks again at it
feels nothing and walks on

a deep and dreamless slumber
where only the slow pulse
in the waxen temples keeps vigil

sorry for doubleposting but had to comment cause i love joni,

It's life's illusions I recall....

oh yeah...i like the version that she did recently, with orchestra.
the song seems so much more appropriately poignant now than
it did when she wrote it 30 something years ago.

[The Laughing Man]

yea, you kinda need to see ALOT of sides to really claim that song......young people just seem naive identifying with that one, heh.....


here's one to get the mad juices flowin: Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck by Prong

[Menolly]

I really don't know life...

[The Laughing Man]

• • Both Sides, Now
  
  Rows and floes of angel hair
  And ice cream castles in the air
  And feather canyons evrywhere
  Ive looked at clouds that way
  
  But now they only block the sun
  They rain and snow on evryone
  So many things I would have done
  But clouds got in my way
  
  Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
  From up and down, and still somehow
  Its cloud illusions I recall
  I really dont know clouds at all
  
  Moons and junes and ferris wheels
  The dizzy dancing way you feel
  As evry fairy tale comes real
  Ive looked at love that way
  
  But now its just another show
  You leave em laughing when you go
  And if you care, dont let them know
  Dont give yourself away
  
  Ive looked at love from both sides now
  From give and take, and still somehow
  Its loves illusions I recall
  I really dont know love at all
  
  Tears and fears and feeling proud
  To say I love you right out loud
  Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
  Ive looked at life that way
  
  But now old friends are acting strange
  They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
  Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
  In living evry day
  
  Ive looked at life from both sides now
  From win and lose and still somehow
  Its lifes illusions I recall
  I really dont know life at all
  
  Ive looked at life from both sides now
  From up and down, and still somehow
  Its lifes illusions I recall
  I really dont know life at all

[Menolly]

Thanks Es...I think it's now out of my system...

...maybe...

[Lorelei]

I used to listen to this ALOT when mom was sick.....crying like a baby.

"Come To Jesus" Mindy Smith

Oh, my baby, when you're older
Maybe then you'll understand
You have angels to dance around your shoulders
'Cause at times in life you need a helping hand

Oh, my baby, when you're prayin'
Leave your burden by my door
You have Jesus standing at your bedside
To keep you calm, keep you safe,
Away from harm

Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Oh, my baby, when you're cryin'
Never hide your face from me
'cause I have conquered hell and driven out the demons
I have come with a light to set you free

Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, my baby, when you're dying
Believe the healing of His hand
Here in Heaven we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven you will finally understand
Here in Heaven we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven you will finally understand

Worry not my daughters,
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms

Well, Esmer's sad song is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot. Another vote for sad is "Young Stranger" also by Gordon Lightfoot. The last line always gets me a little. The line is "The answers in the forest carved upon a tree, John loves Mary, does anyone love me?"

Yeah, good call Esmer and CJ. I love Lightfoot!

[Brinn]

No song angrier than "I am a Cloud" by the band "Boy Hits Car". I wish I could post a link to the devastating chorus as it's not just the lyrics but the manner in which the song is sung. If you ever have a chance, give it a listen.

[Menolly]

Heard a song on the radio during our drive back from FIL's last that I will belt out during the rare fallings out between Hyperception and myself...

Voices Carry (Til Tuesday)

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
but I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
to tear him away
when I tell him that I'm falling in love
why does he say

Hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

I try so hard not to get upset
because I know all the trouble I'll get
oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
and something to fear
and I try so hard to keep it inside
so no one can hear

Hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

He wants me
but only part of the time
He wants me
if he can keep me in line

Hush hush
keep it down now
voices carry

hush hush, darling, she might overhear
oh, no-voices carry
he said shut up he said shut up
oh God can't you keep it down
voices carry
I wish he would let me talk

[A Gunslinger]

Wonderful: Everclear...anyone who has lived through a divorce as an adult or a kid...this song will lay YOU LOW!

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope its over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a star wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when youre little
And the worlds so big
I just dont understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

Please dont tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that its all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends wont know
When the bell rings I just dont wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I dont believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when youre little
And the world is so big
I just dont understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

I dont wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No
I dont wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No
I dont wanna meet your "friend"
And I dont wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please dont tell me everything is wonderful now...

I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

[High Lord Tolkien]

ok, I'm downloading all the songs listed.
I'll let you know if any hit me like they do you.

Some more sad ones:

"Tonight I Wanna Cry" Keith Urban
"Rest in Pieces" Saliva

Some good angry songs I think:

"Dragular" Rob Zombie
"Beautiful People" Marilyn Manson

"Eleanor Rigby" God Head (this one is tough, it could go either angry or sad depending on my mood)

[matrixman]

"Beautiful People" is a good pick. I'd also throw in "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" from the same album. One might even say that all of Antichrist Superstar is one demented, angry rant. (I personally think it's an amazing piece of work - easily one of the best albums of the '90s I've ever heard.)

[DukkhaWaynhim]

Sad song:

It's Over - Roy Orbison

Your baby doesn't love you any more
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you any more

Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you any more
It's over

It breaks your heart in two, To know she's been untrue
But oh what will you do? When she says to you
There's someone new We're through We're through
It's over It's over It's over

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows any more
Setting suns before they fall, Echo to you that's all that's all
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all

It's over, It's over, It's over
It's over

Angry Song:

You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

[Brinn]

Alanis! Good one dAN!

[emotional leper]

Sad and Angry all at once!

I wake from my sleep and face the day,
That I have the hope to reach you someday,
I cannot go on take other steps,
'cause my way is not easy to go.

No, even I do really wanna see you,
I need to take my time,
Spend some days alone, being be myself, will be all I do
If doesn't exist an everlasting love in which I could believe,
I got hurt because, I was very awkward
Know it but I don't want no losing, no!

Thinkin' of you made me cry,
So my eyes, they were filled with tears,
And all I've got is my will to be with you again.
Thinkin' of you made me cry so many times,
The only thing that made me strong was you,
And I have my will to be with you someday

I felt like I was so independent,
And I kept the words, and I want you to know.
You were the one who made me smile,

Somehow I knew you'd beaten me to that one, KiGirl.

Sad
"Solitude" - Sabbath

My name it means nothing
my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I posessed - Now they are gone

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away

The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you

"Don't Follow" - AiC
"Low Man's Lyric" - Metallica
"Mrs. Blaileen" - Primus
"Erasure (polite version)" or "That's What I Get" - NIN

Mad
"Walk" - Pantera

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

(Pre) Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

(Chorus)

Respect, walk

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize

Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

(Pre)

(Chorus)

Are you talking to me?
No way punk

"Hush" - Tool (Since Ki stole Aenima)
"Just One Fix" - Ministry
"Cut You In" - Jerry Cantrell
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" - Metallica
