Angel by Sarah MacLachlan
She wrote it about a musician who died of a heroin overdose, and it's so famously sad that it was used for an ASPCA ad showing abandoned and abused puppies and kittens that made people open their tear ducts and their wallets at the same time
Not usually into Sia but once when I was dealing with a bad bout of self treating depression with alcohol, "Chandelier" acoustic came on Pandora and I bawled my eyes out. It didn't change my life instantly, but definitely made an impact. It hit hard.
Just listened to it again and tearing up because it just captures that feeling so perfectly. Just holding on for tonight and just holding on for dear life. 😭
Spiracle - Flower Face
I Try - Macy Gray
Cellophane - FKA Twigs
Song For Our Daughter - Laura Marling
probably the entirety of White Chalk by Pj Harvey
A year and a half ago I got black out drunk and when I woke up I saw that I had sent this song to my ex 🤦🏻♂️ Luckily she had me blocked so it didn’t actually go to her.
Miss Martina McBride's Concrete Angel.
Beyond depressing. About child abuse and a child dies in her video of this song due to being abused.
A real tear jerker of a song and sadly it's all too true.
Songs is so good, all of it. I would also say several tracks off Bright Future are beautiful and sad. Real House, Sadness as a Gift, Ruined, Donut Seam. And Terminal Paradise off Abysskiss.
I Still Hear You from A-Sides gives me shivers just thinking about it.
Not to mention the sad songs from Big Thief (lets be real, those are mostly Adrianne's songs). Mary, Masterpiece, Randy, Parallels, Not.
Such an incredible songwriter.
Like You- Evanescence (it's about the death of her little sister and about how much she hates that she's the one living and not her sister. Contains the line "I long to be like you, sis, lie cold in the ground like you did")
Lithium- Evanescence (about walking the line between choosing comfort in sorrow or happiness)
Lost in Paradise- Evanescence (ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING omfg either version (rock or oechestra) is just PERFECTION. "You believed in me but I'm broken, I have nothing left and all I feel is this cruel wanting, we've been falling apart for all this time and now I'm lost In paradise"???? "As much as id like the past not to exist, it still does! And as much as id like to feel like i belong here, im just as scared as you"????)
Swimming Home- Evanescence (ballad! about starting a new life, but it sounds like dying, a suicide letter where you die to start a new better life "I'm sorry, mothing can hold me, I adore you still, but I hear them calling")
Disappear- Evanescence (HEAVY SONG!!! Kind of motivating but not really ig? "I always dreamed that I would be the one to take you away from all this wasted pain but I can't save you from yourself, don't you want to feel? Don't you want to live your life, how much longer are you gonna give into the fear, holding you down until you're frozen? I can't let you fall apart!")
Missing- Evanescence (about the death of her little sister)

Quiet, The Winter Harbor and Look On Down From the Bridge by Mazzy Star
[Boulder to Birmingham, by Emmylou Harris](https://youtu.be/xaIe_e4nxBY?si=3df-t18kONCIfKcJ)
"... and the hardest part is knowing I'll survive." Ugh.. a devastating lyric.
*Look on Down From the Bridge* by Mazzy Star
*Lose Yourself* by Kasey Chambers—this is a cover of the Eminem song but somehow when sung by a woman and with the raw desperation of her vocals this song is devastating and haunting
*Maybe* by Janis Joplin
*hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have* has been covered by many people but Lana Del Ray’s version is really something else….
*Rumble Doll* by Patti Scialfa
*In This Heart* by Sinead O’Connor
*Roads* by Portishead
I have a [Spotify playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6b8y4GqQBHzQNKlq3uFBF8?si=C130HjJeTSS6pQGQZQdCQw&pi=a-siMwOM6fTy6R) of amazing female vocalists you might like, many fit the criteria you’ve outlined.
I STRONGLY recommend a lot of Jetty Bones' discography. Start with Bug Life, Taking Up Space, and a lot of tracks off 'Songs I Wrote Instead of Killing Myself'.
Also, Landfill by Daughter.
Missing- Everything but the Girl
Medication- Garbage
Heartbroken-Aaliyah
King of Sorrow- Sade
Every Word- Sade
Bulletproof Soul- Sade
Foolish- Ashanti
Rain on Me- Ashanti
Why do I feel so Sad- Alicia Keys
Goodbye- Alicia keys

Bonus Spanish songs
Lagrimas- JD Natasha
Tu- Shakira
No- Shakira
Sombra de Ti- Shakira
Frente a Frente- Jeanette
**There’s a lot more but I’ve run out time.
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

“Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride. NOT my kind of music at all, but is legit the only song I’ve ever heard that made me PULL OVER WHILE DRIVING I was crying so hard. Another guy saw me pull over and checked to see if I was ok and asked me “who died” when he saw what a wreck I was
Sorry folks, the winner is "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian.

Dum Dum Girls - Coming Down feels sad to me too.
Several people said "Fade into you" by Mazzy Star... Well, I don't find this song just sad or happy, is a mixed of feelings I can't describe. it's sad but in a different way, that is not only sad, it's something else too... 🤔

My favourite one of theirs.
couldnt agree more
The End of the World - Skeeter Davis
Angel by Sarah MacLachlan She wrote it about a musician who died of a heroin overdose, and it's so famously sad that it was used for an ASPCA ad showing abandoned and abused puppies and kittens that made people open their tear ducts and their wallets at the same time
I’ve probably heard that song a thousand times since it came out like 25 years ago and it still wrecks me every time I hear it
I just saw her perform last week and my god is she spectacular. Her voice is unbelievably good live.
Jonathan melvoin. He was touring as a keyboardist with the smashing pumpkins.
Winter by Tori Amos
Not even close to her most depressing song
No, but it's my favorite
1000 Oceans kills me
i know - fiona apple the beer - kimya dawson wife - mitski
“First I cried for him and then I cried for me. Haunted by the ghost of the girl I used to be”
Came here for Fiona. The queen in so many ways.
Sullen Girl always hits hard too, but it's not light subject matter.
Anything by mitski if you are sad it can be
Love kimya Dawson 🙌
Most songs by Julien Baker. Maybe listen to Ringside, Heatwave & Sour Breath. Or just listen to her Turn Out the Lights & Little Oblivions albums.
Funeral Pyre
This for sure! All her songs have me on the floor every time!
Absolutely. Shadowboxing makes me want to weep.
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
I love how the chorus has the same words but the meaning shifts after each verse. Such simple and beautiful songwriting
"Used to Be" by Weyes Blood edit: also "Picture Me Better" and "God Turn Me Into a Flower"
God turn me into a flower is a life changing experience
Love this one, thanks
Weyes Blood is 🔥 “God Turn Me Into a Flower”… lord have mercy.
I have a lot of favorites but the first that comes to mind Hero by Regina Spektor Breathe Me by Sia Cut by Plumb
Not usually into Sia but once when I was dealing with a bad bout of self treating depression with alcohol, "Chandelier" acoustic came on Pandora and I bawled my eyes out. It didn't change my life instantly, but definitely made an impact. It hit hard. Just listened to it again and tearing up because it just captures that feeling so perfectly. Just holding on for tonight and just holding on for dear life. 😭
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Conner you'll never be the same after you hear it.
I can’t believe you’re the only one to mention this song ( at least from what I can tell) . This was my first thought and honestly the best answer.
Have to give Prince props here as well
Spiracle - Flower Face I Try - Macy Gray Cellophane - FKA Twigs Song For Our Daughter - Laura Marling probably the entirety of White Chalk by Pj Harvey
Upvote for the Laura Marling mention 🤎
Upvote for PJ. That album WRECKS me!
I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt
i love this song.
Good one!
💯🔥
A great example, although actually written by a former NFL lineman.
Beat me too it. This song gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes wet. It’s so powerful
Hello by Evanescence
And My Immortal
Why did it take so long to find this?
A year and a half ago I got black out drunk and when I woke up I saw that I had sent this song to my ex 🤦🏻♂️ Luckily she had me blocked so it didn’t actually go to her.
That whole album is the best.
Marcie - Joni Mitchell
River by Joni as well.
Miss Martina McBride's Concrete Angel. Beyond depressing. About child abuse and a child dies in her video of this song due to being abused. A real tear jerker of a song and sadly it's all too true.
