Fantastically Sad Songs

I'm in love with sad, beautiful songs. Ones that make you feel like your heart's been ripped out, but it's still such a beautiful song that you listen to it again. Anyway, I've decided to post my top 10 sad songs instead of my New Year's Resolutions. In protestation of what I consider the lamest holiday ever.

These are just my favorite ones, some people are bound to disagree (feel free to comment and share your favorites, I love finding new songs!), and I will say that although a few of these artists could definately have at least a couple of songs in the top 10, I decided to limit them to one song each.

10) Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

Kill me now lyrics: I must be strong and carry on / Cause I know I don't belong / Here in heaven

9) Empty by Ray LaMontagne

8) Everybody Hurts by R.E.M.

7) Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss

6) You Don't Know Me by Elvis Presley

5) Nothing Compares to U by Sinead O'Connor

4) Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt

Kill me now lyrics: And I still hold your hand in mine / In mine when I'm asleep / And I will bear my soul in time / When I'm kneeling at your feet

3) Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy

WAY better than Sting's version!!!

2) The Drugs Don't Work by The Verve

Kill me now lyrics: If heaven calls / I'm coming too / Just like you said / You leave my life / I'm better off dead

1) Mad World by Gary Jules

Kill me now lyrics: And I find it kind of funny / I find it kind of sad / The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
