Welcome to Gaia! ::

That remix is quite lovely, what with the gorgeous harmonization, however it makes me all but sad.

I came into this thread expecting some truly sad and beautiful songs but, apart from this one, all I really see is modern pop-rock which disturbs me to say the least. I suppose that's just because there is hardly anything modern about me but, when I listen to pop music such as My Chemical Romance or Three Days Grace, the last thing I think of is emotional sadness. They don't deliver any real "emotion" at all to me; I suppose, while I can't understand what's good about such bands, I don't need to because music is interpretive and seen differently by different people.

Songs I would truly consider "sad", as the title put it, are more like classical dirges or arias of lamentation; that is, I just can't associate modern "pop" music with sadness or any real emotion.

So I'll make my brief list for exemplification.

~Dead Can Dance's "Persephone (The Gathering of Flowers)", "The Host of Seraphim", "Song of Sophia", "I am Stretched on Your Grave"

~Lisa Gerrard's "Sanvean (I am Your Shadow)"

~Fields of the Nephilim's "And There will Your Heart be Also", "Vet for the Insane", "At the Gates of Silent Memory"

~Cradle of Filth's "Portrait of the Dead Countess"

~Lacrimosa's "Sacrifice"

~Lacuna Coil's "Aeon", "A Ghost Between Us"

~Wolfsheim's "Kein Zurück"

~Project Pitchfork's "Renasence" and especially the Infinity Mix

~RaHoWa's "The Snow Fell"

~Sonata Arctica's "Fade to Black", "Shamandalie", "White Pearl, Black Oceans...", "The End of This Chapter", "The Misery"

~Telepopmusik's "Smile", "Love can Damage Your Health", "Yesterday was a Lie"
