The Saddest Music in the World
Ever since viewing Guy Maddin's film 'The Saddest Music in the World' some years back, a topic that has periodically intrigued me is the compilation of the world's genuinely saddest, most melancholy, and heartbreaking songs. What better place to start such a list than here at TLO? I will kick things off with with an assortment of my own picks , but would invite all to contribute their own suggestions of music deserving to be recognized as the saddest ever!

Re: The Saddest Music in the World
An interesting list, I think I may have read it years ago, but neither that list nor this one will contain my pick for what is perhaps the saddest song I have ever heard, as I have never found a recording. It is the theme to Fassbinder's 'Ali: Fear Eats the Soul' from composer Peer Raben - 'Das Kleine Lieben' or 'Little Love', which plays throughout the film, most notably during the closing scene. The song is only available in a reworked version from another Fassbinder score, and is moving, but lacks the simple majesty of the original:
Anyway, here are a few more heartbreakers: Rosita Bandida by Duchicela on Recopilatorio - Free Music Streaming, Online Music, Videos - Grooveshark Breather X.O.X.O. by Unrest on Perfect Teeth - Free Music Streaming, Online Music, Videos - Grooveshark Neon Undercarriage by The Joggers on Solid Guild - Free Music Streaming, Online Music, Videos - Grooveshark The Darkest Night by His Name Is Alive on Detrola - Free Music Streaming, Online Music, Videos - Grooveshark | |||||||||||
