2016-08-03 at 1:32 AM UTCMost deceptively sad song ever, IMO. Maybe its because of what I've had it relate to in my life (its a song attached to a lot of tragic moments in my life). Agree? Disagree? What do you all consider a deceptively sad song?

2016-08-04 at 5:35 AM UTCSaddest song ever? Disagree. Why? Because it's just...not the saddest song ever. Not by a space mile. Most of the saddest songs to me are instrumentals. There isn't one song that stands out to me as SADDEST EVER. I guess if I HAD to say one, it would be entirely subjective as it relates to the death of my dad and one of the two songs he wanted played at his funeral. It's called Sung to Sleep, by Michael Manring. I've bawled my eyes out to it many a time, but only because of it's relation to my dad. Aside from that I probably wouldn't think much of it other than just a nice little peaceful song.

did your uncle give you a very special, very uncomfortable screening of the wizard of oz? -
2016-08-04 at 3:18 PM UTCSemi-charmed Life by Third Eye Blind is probably the most deceptive song I can recall from my childhood. I remember being a little kid hearing this on the radio and how happy it made me, it's happy music.
But little did I know. If you actually listen to the lyrics it's a depressing story about a drug-addicted couple and their failing relationship.

No, I grew up with very little connection at all with any relatives and from 13 onward had zero contact at all. It was just my dad and grandmother from then on out along with several older friends who I guess took on a maternal/paternal role toward me as a teenager- the ones who haven't died, I'm still in contact with and am treated like family. Never was sexually abused by anyone save for my exhusband who took advantage of issues I have.
I guess why this is such a sad song for me is because when I was little I had this gay unicorn music box that played 'somewhere over the rainbow' when it was wound up. Anytime something bad happened, I was sad, got in an arguement with my mother, and like a million times after my grandfather, whom I had been extremely close to died of brain cancer, I would sit in my room and play the melody over and over again, most of the time I would be crying. To this day, hearing it brings tears to my eyes and while I can hold them back most times with self control, it always brings a pang to my heart. The theme of the song in a nutshell is seeking or moving from a bad place to a better place- that there is this place... But on the other side of the coin its unattainable- its over the motherfucking rainbow! How the fuck do I get over this goddamned fucking rainbow?! Another reason, for me at least, I find it so sad is because it beings me back to a time when I was a young child and it spurs a lot of memories and thoughts from back then... A lot of hope I had was based on completely unrealistic ideas of salvation from the pain and sadness I was coping with at the time. I agree, for most, this isn't a very sad song, but for the unrealistic hope it conveys (over a goddamn rainbow), with a shallow promise, I feel it's a deceptively sad song for that reason. -
2016-08-05 at 3:42 AM UTCOh and Mq, I figured most would disagree with being 'saddest ever', but being music is very subjective, I first wanted to see if anyone could see why I'd think its sad or maybe had a similar experience as I had with this song- maybe you don't agree its the saddest ever, but can you see any trace of sadness within it? And, what do you think is a deceptively sad song? Some songs have a catchy tune, have lyrics that are misinterpreted, etc. and may not strike the listener as being sad upon first listen... I was wanting to see what you all thought on the matter and I'm happy to see some of you delivering.

Semi-charmed Life by Third Eye Blind is probably the most deceptive song I can recall from my childhood. I remember being a little kid hearing this on the radio and how happy it made me, it's happy music.
But little did I know. If you actually listen to the lyrics it's a depressing story about a drug-addicted couple and their failing relationship.
yeah I felt the same way until I listened to the lyrics, I didn't quite pick up what they were talking about but knew there was despair and desperation to it
hydro: I'm generally not terribly serious, especially when I post stuff like that. interesting you associated that song with such a negative period though considering most peoples' interpretation of it.
on topic: my girlfriend's friends played A Team by Ed Sheeran at their wedding; they're asian and just liked the song, apparently not realising it's about crackwhoredom -
2016-08-05 at 4:52 AM UTCYes I can see why you might associate Somewhere Over the Rainbow with sad, or deceptively sad. I guess I'm assuming you're talking about the one that Dorothy sings? Or one of the other versions? I don't even know what the original is. I just listened to a version online by some FUCK named Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. It was sort of catchy and less sad than the one from The Wizard of Oz. Regardless, yes, I see what you're saying. I shared my deceptively sad song, it's right up there in my other post. You just have to imagine it played at the funeral of someone you love very much who requested it to be played, then it's sad, deceptively comparatively to what one might feel listening to it otherwise. :D

2016-08-05 at 5:43 AM UTCOh, I didn't mean to come off as you not contributing, just saying I'm pleasantly surprised this thread stayed on topic (first thread in a while I wasn't called a stupid bitch- inb4 being called a stupid bitch) and had contributions to the topic. I'm on my cheap shitty phone ATM so streaming anything is next to impossible, but when I get WiFi tomorrow I will be sure to check this thread and take a listen to what everyone recommended.
If there is one thing I like about you Mq, its your posting style. You put a good deal of thought (or at least come off as you do) into most yours posts, even if it is completely out there batshit sometimes- I'm always interested in seeing your replies to any given thread. Thanks for your contribution. -

I don't know if I would call it sad.. I don't think j can even process emotions anymore.. All I know is.. Like... triangles and shit. But that's a good song. Even if it is all nigger music
