What song makes you feel melancholic ?

This Korean folk song. (again)


Robert Plant's version of this -


Someone mentioned Journey's Lights

Someone mentioned Coldplay - sorry when I hear them I want to jump off a cliff,

Nice songs all =)

Here are some more songs, not necessarily by a band, that also make me feel sad in general =(

starting with the amazing log-in screen music from the Korean-MMORPG game called Lineage 2






and this one, from a village in that game



makes me cry because of the music ofcourse, and also because of the memories it brings from all those years ago when I was like 13-15 playing it all day long =P

here's two songs from final fantasy xii and final fantasy x respectively, that also make me feel sad cuz of the memories of being a kid

Otis Redding-Sitting on the dock of the bay



Simply Red - Holding Back The Years

This one.....




Des

Any ballad from the Beach Boys, really.

Like this one, "In My Room"




And this one, "Surfer Girl"



Heck, this one too, "The Warmth of the Sun"



Can you hear "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" in the melody(ies) ? I can

And yeah, this style of music (50's/60's pop) haunts me, especially with the falsetto. And we're talking Brain Wilson here!! IMHO, Brian was so-so gifted.. a natural falsetto and a pure genius song writer. HE IS THE MAN!

I remember this song, I always found it too sad to listen to, though I like it.

Anything by Pink Floyd.

And anything off this album:

My mom's favorite song:

Glenn Campbell - Gentle On My Mind

I cried my eyes out when I played it at the luncheon after her funeral.

Oh God this was the UK christmas number one in (I think) 2003... Gary Jules effectively ruined christmas there, I'm still angry about it 9 years on

nice topic
my favorite singer is Evanescence, but this one gives me that ,melancholic feeling, as well

The Killers - Good Night Travel Well
clip made by me

When I see the phrase "melancholic music", this comes to my mind:


It's from the game Guild Wars: Factions and was composed by Jeremy Soule. An all-time favourite.

I was going to post that Gotye song too! I have no idea why it makes me feel that way, but it does.

Wow, that music is AMAZING. Kinda makes me sad that I missed out on Guild Wars. Mostly because I was stuck on Lineage 2 for so many years. If you check out the Lineage 2 music I posted some posts above, you can compare. It's also AMAZING. Really beautiful and soulful music. This kinda music totally captivates you emotionally when you couple it with the memories of playing.

Thanks for sharing
