Posted: So, Im looking for some really sad songs... Really sad and dramatic. Looking especially for songs about losing a lover, preferably sung by a male. Language doesnt matter. Opera/theatrical type of music is sorta what Im shooting for but if ya got something good feel free to list it.
So, what are the songs that make you choke up?

Posted: Let me get a little more speciffic... I think what Im looking for is real tragedy. Sorta epic even... Romeo and Juliet sad. A guy's lover dies and he doesnt know how he will go on. Etc.. I really want to be taken by it... Almost put in that place and feel the pain.

Posted: 'Lover, You Should've Come Over' by Jeff Buckley.
for a minute i thought this was one of those questions where you knew the answer and we had to guess, purely because that song is near enough EXACTLY what you want. Such a sad song, but it's uplifting in a really odd (like a release) way. A lot of people think that him singing about death and mortality so much was what brought him a lot of the way towrds his suicide. For the record, i'm not one of them, and have obsessed over the fine details of his music for years. Oh my god if there was ever a song to make you cry..........it does it for me!! The lyrics are as follows:
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight, you're on my mind so you never know
Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it. Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away, When he feels like he should be having his fun Much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no-one...
So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return, Oh, will I ever learn? Oh, Lover, you should've come over Cause it's not too late.
Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her... It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she's the tear That hangs inside my soul forever
Oh, but maybe I'm just too young to keep good love From going wrong Oh... lover you should've come over...
Yes, (I) feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love I'm waiting for you Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late.
Posted: 'El Tango de Roxanne' from Moulin Rouge....it's not sad nor about a dead lover, it's about a prostitute, but it is very dramatic if that's what you're looking for. Have you checked out the sound track to Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet? There's some very dramatic operatic stuff in there, along your kinda theme.
May we ask why you need it?
Practice as if your hair was on fire...

Posted: there's no mistake i smell that smell it's that time of year again i can taste the air clocks go back railway track something blocks the line again and the train runs late for the first time pebble beach we're underneath a pier just been painted redwhere i hear the news for the first time and all the friends lay down the flowers sit on the banks and drink for hours talk of the way they saw him last local boy in the photograph he'll always be twenty three yet the train runs on and on past the place they found his clothing stereophonics - local boy in the photograph - v.sad for me coz it was the same song i always used to play to hide the noise of being sick! but its about death!
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day, set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
