Such a masterpiece that the original by NIN was amazing and then Johnny Cash said “hold my beer, here come the tears”. RIP Johnny Cash and thank you Trent for writing such a great melody that transcends generations.
@@NotMeNaNaNaI first saw the video to Cash's hurt when l was 17yo. Had my entire life ahead of me, but l still somehow felt what he felt. I'm much older now and every year l feel it even more. 😢
The one that is on my top songs for a tear jerker is 'What Hurts The Most' by Rascal Flatts. That opening gets me everytime. What kills me is when they show her getting sick in the bathroom and the camera zooms in on her holding her stomach, showing what she was so quietly thinking about (she's pregnant) while sitting in her boyfriend's truck, but didn't talk about it when he asked, 'What do you see?" She finally answer's him at the closing of the video.
These are the days of our lives: It's sad because it's Freddie Mercury's last video, but it's nice because his final words to us are: I still love you. 🎉
Absolutely, that and "No one but you (only the good die young". Both songs really yank on the heart strings and Brian, Roger and John's sorrow is in every note, as well as in their faces though they gave their best efforts to keep it together.
No it’s “The show must go on” But “These are the days” is incredibly moving when Freddie looks at the camera and says “I still love you”…. they were both equally powerful and shot very close to eachother
Everytime song by Britney Spears should be on this list. The video for "Everytime" still holds a lot of weight. The visuals are super emotional, with that dreamy vibe and the themes of love and loss. It really emphasizes the struggle between wanting to hold on and needing to let go. Given everything Britney has been through, it almost feels like a reflection of her journey. It’s interesting to see how the concepts resonate differently now compared to when it first came out. ❤
Concrete Angel 😢 so so hard and brave of Martina to sing about just like her song Independence Day. She is like Carrie Underworld with her tear jerkers.
the fact that Johnny Cash's house is run down and derelict is about the saddest thing of them all. I am surprised Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. didn't make the list. that song always had me in tears.
Actually, it’s called “How Could This Happen To Me”, Untitled is the name of the album. Btw, the son featured in the video--that actually happened to him and his family in real life when his real life big sister was killed by a drunk driver. If memory serves, he’s the one who wrote the song
I can't believe "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor is not on the list. And "She's Out of My Life" by Michael Jackson. Both are very simple, with just the singer singing. Both are heartbreaking.
“So Far Away” by Avenged Sevenfold probably should’ve been on here considering it’s about a member of the band who died in the early stages of that album’s development
Avenged Sevenfold's "Fiction" too, the video is all about the drummer Sullivan and I've read he wrote the song and recorded a lot of it right before he died. The video always gets me in the feels
I think Who Wants to Live Forever hit differently (or harder) after Freddie's death because he was diagnosed with AIDS the following year and, well, didn't live forever, although at least his music will. I agree with other commenters, though, that These Are The Days of Our Lives and Only The Good Die Young are more heartbreaking, as well as Mother Love which was the last song he ever recorded.
22:25 I was definitely expecting Evanescence to get some sort of recognition on this list 🤯 I was pleasantly surprised seeing My Immortal at the end 😊🔥
I can name 50 music videos sadder than most of these. Most importantly, these 4 songs. James Blunt - Monsters James Blunt - If time is all I have Lewis Capaldi - Wish you the best Simple Plan - Untitled
@@cassiopeia36 its actually a clip splice from a movie version of the Book Johnny Got His Gun. And yes it is bone chilling and heart breaking. As someone who's mother was in a similar condition (due to stroke) that video was unwatchable in the most heartwrenching of ways Metallica were in mourning of the loss of their bass player in a bus crash when they produced this album. This video and song showed their pain in a creative way.
Interesting fact about ghost of you and the black parade. Ghost of you was the last music video from three cheers for sweet revenge and in the video Mickey succumbs to his wound but in the next video in the black parade when he is performing on the float he is the only one wearing a medal a purple heart
I’ve only recently came across a still from the video in colour and he looks so much iller it’s no wonder it was in black and white I’m amazed he managed to get through filming
“Seize the Day” by Avenged Sevenfold. That shit DESTROYED ME! Especially because my best friend and I discovered Avenged Sevenfold one morning while he was getting ready for school. He would turn on MTV and listen to the music videos while he got ready. I was hanging out on the couch when “Bat Country” came on. I screamed for my friend to come check it out. As soon as it finished we ran to his room and immediately downloaded all of their music and put it on our MP3 players. NO, NOT iPods….. Old school, crappy little MP3 players. We rocked out to Avenged Sevenfold everyday. All the way to November 23rd, 2007…… the day my best friend died in a car wreck on his way home from work. 😖 I was just sitting at home trying to get my mind off of it while also remembering my best friend. “Seize the Day” came on and I fell to my knees and bawled my eyes out. I recommended it to his mom to play at his funeral because I knew he would love it. She didn’t end up doing it because it was too hard for her. Every time I hear it, I get really sad and really happy. I just remember all the good times we had in the short time we were given. He had just turned 17. I named my first born son after him. RIP Anthony! 🥺 I miss and love you brother!
Yes how did a video where the angel of death goes into a maternity ward and snatches a baby in front of its parents not only not make this list, but wasn’t 1st? Also, the Uncle Carl scene. As a kid I thought it was a drive by but I think it was a heart attack and the angel of death uses the imagery of a point blank shot to nail the scene.
Kelly Clarkson - Because of you Christina Aguilera - Hurt Pink - Family portrait Phil Collins - Another day in paradise There’s so many sad songs and videos…..
@@roslynronald6568 another day in paradise was such a powerful Issues song by itself but that video is properly brutal. I agree a lost classic by an artist not known for that kind of songs (at least not solo, most darker phil songs were done with Genesis)
If there was an honorable mention list; I got three good ones: "Cancer" from My Chemical Romance in which the lyrics say it best, and two from Avenged Sevenfold: "Seize The Day" in which the music video explains to seize the opportunity, but if you seize it late, it can spell disaster that could be irreversible, and "So Far Away" in which they wrote the song to pay tribute to their drummer and co-founder, Jimmy "Rev" Sullivan.
Great song choices. Specially Soul Asylum and Steven Wilson. But in the case of Queen, I would have chosen "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" instead. It's a very touchin and moving song and video
I would suggest “I Miss You” by Aaron Hall. The video is powerful, in which a guy loves his lady, she gets pregnant and dies during childbirth and he goes on to raise his child alone. It still stays with me today. 😢
I don't find pleasure in feeling sad but sometimes I feel better after crying, a sort of relief. Holding in sadness can be detrimental for me. Thank you for the thought-provoking, interesting list!
Honorable mentions: Coming Down by Five Finger Death Punch and Rise Above by Seether, due to the music videos and songs touching upon a sensitive subject of mental health and suicide among youth and the lead singer of Seether broke down crying in between takes of the music video for Rise Above due to the loss of his brother. And Beautiful by P.O.D. shows a little boy being bullied by his peers and befriending an imaginary friend.
I used to think Just A Dream was song about being at the wedding of the person you love as just another spectator rather than being the bride, I guess ya learn something new every day
Mad World by Gary Jules, Zombie by The Cranberries, Lucid Dreams by Juice World, Cleaning Out My Closet by Eminem, Like Toy Soldiers by Eminem, and Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve.
I started to cry with only the clip show of Whiskey Lullaby. The music video that has me bawling cry is "Wish You the Best" by Lewis Capaldi. The song isn't what makes me cry, it's the story of the video. And there are 2 Rascal Flatts songs/videos that make me cry. "What Hurts the Most" and "Sarabeth" Lastly, the song that gets me every time is "Alyssa Lies". And I think there are several videp versions but the one that gets me is the one that shows the video being shown to a class. No idea if it is an official video but it just chokes me up.
Some songs I find sad 1. Queen - These are the days of our lives(Freddie’s last video) 2. Ed Sheeran- Supermarket Flowers(first heard this shortly after my mum passed away) 3. James Blunt - Monsters(never fails to give me chills) 4. James Blunt - The Girl who Never Was(another tearjerker from Mr Blunt)
"Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi is a tearjerker. Especially the video featuring his cousin, Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi, as a man who is losing his wife to an illness and her heart is donated to a young mother who jogs past him multiple times.
I can't believe "Something to Believe in" by Poison is not on this list. Bret Michaels was singing about losing his best friend. You could see tears in his eyes as he was singing for God's sake! That song not only should be on the list. It should be #1!
Several of the Five Finger Death Punch music videos bring me to tears. The song 1916 by Motorhead (and the Sabaton version, the Motorhead one though hurts more) also makes me sad.
“To the Flowers” by While She Sleeps has got to one of the saddest videos ever. It’s also really well produced. It’s damn near impossible to finish the video without crying.
How Can I Help You Say Goodbye by Patty Loveless and You Can Let Go by Crystal Shawanda. Both bring me to tears immediately. Played at my mom's and dad's funerals.
She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 is a visually beautiful but sad music video depicting a middle aged woman suffering from domestic abuse in her marriage and a young woman getting her heart broken by her boyfriend cheating on her -- with her mother.
Fire Away by Chris Stapleton is one of THE saddest videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve teared up at a lot of the ones mentioned but I straight up bawled like a baby watching Fire Away😢
1) BTW Bowie's visual in Lazarus looks like it's from Jean Cocteau's trio of movies about the Orpheus myth. 2) The video for One by Metallica is pretty miserable thanks to the interspersed footage from Johnny Got His Gun. 3) The video for Megadeth's 99 Ways to Die is sad just for the US gun violence stats.
@@christophermerlot3366 speaking of US Gun Violence...some of this is harsher in hindsight but video to pearl jam Jeremy especially the final scene of the entire class frozen in bloody clothing takes on a MUCH MUCH Darker meaning than when the album was released due to the later Columbine and Parkland disasters (along with countless others)
I used to wallow in my own misery, listening to music like the great Offspring and their sad video for Gone Away. I also used to keep the pity party going with movies like The Jacket. To quote John Astin and his character from Night Court, "But I'm feeling much better now."
unpopular opinion: my fave Queen album is "It's a Kind of Magic"- recorded as a Highlander soundtrack but they went off and made it something else. Who Wants to Live Forever is on it. Really tired of Bohemian Rhapsody- heard it enough, but happy to relisten to this album any ole time. - as to sad songs- there is a catharsis to indulging in the sadness, a little, on occasion ...
I don't think anyone should want to cry but I think we all have tears inside us that need to be let out. Sometimes, it's the strangest of songs that touches my inner tears and lets them out.
So far away by avenged sevenfold really is sad and just pulls hard on the heartstrings music video gets me every time as they said goodbye to their brother Jimmy the rev Sullivan
I doubt anyone here knows the song or artist but the video for "Constance" by a band called Spiritbox made me ugly cry and I am someone that has a hard time crying. It's unbelievably haunting. I'd love to hear other examples of sad music videos if y'all have them.

So good it makes NIN's version sound like friggin' Imagine Dragons' Thunder.

Right. I thought it would make the list. The whole video is so sad.
I'd say "Unbreak my heart" by Toni Braxton & "When you're gone" by Avril Lavigne are really heart breaking videos to watch
The first time I heard Unbreak My Heart, I almost teared up because the video was so sad.

I don’t think I can watch the “Concrete Angel” music video without choking up.
As soon as I heard the name i began to tear up.
the fact that Johnny Cash's house is run down and derelict is about the saddest thing of them all. I am surprised Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. didn't make the list. that song always had me in tears.
On top of that the same house burnt down (twice).
Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven as well
The subtitles on Everybody Hurts specifically....! Talk About the Passion and Half a World Away by them are even sadder vids..
@jacara1981 That one definitely, but it was saddest music videos not songs (there's one for saddest songs)
100%
Surprised Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven isn't on the list.
Should have been #1
Totally
Untitled by simple plan is very sad and depressing. Show how fast so many lives can be destroyed by drunk driving.
Actually, it’s called “How Could This Happen To Me”, Untitled is the name of the album. Btw, the son featured in the video--that actually happened to him and his family in real life when his real life big sister was killed by a drunk driver. If memory serves, he’s the one who wrote the song
@@shewolfsirenactually the OP is correct. It’s called Untitled. The “How Could This Happen to Me” part is in brackets/parentheses
@@shewolfsiren the song is actually untitled with how could this happen to me in quotes generally after it. Trust me I know big simple plan fan.
It’s like a PSA

I'm surprised you didn't include Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts the Most". Such a sad song.
And Sarabeth
A couple other sad songs/mvs is:
~Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll
~The Little Girl by John Michael Montgomery
My Immortal by Evanescence is a sad song as well
Yes it is, better without the rock ending in my opinion, but the video isn’t as sad as the song itself
Yup. That small clip they showed at they made my eyes well up immediately
As is Broken by Seether featuring Evanescence's Amy Lee.
Agreed, its the main theme of a book I'm writing. Why its not on this list is kind of sad to begin with.
@@pandanarkystudios5198 yeah, the driving accident PSA videos with that song are the real tear jerkers

Everytime by Britney Spears is a brutal video. Fire Away by Chris Stapleton also should be on the list.
I’m surprised Summertime Sadness wasn’t included. That music video was so devastatingly beautiful
Little Motel and Ghost of You are very heavy songs. Modest Mouse is by far my favorite band alongside Alkaline Trio❤
Oh Father by Madonna deserves honorable mention. “You didn’t mean to be cruel. Somebody hurt you too”
Great song choices. Specially Soul Asylum and Steven Wilson. But in the case of Queen, I would have chosen "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" instead. It's a very touchin and moving song and video

Hold On from Good Charlotte has helped me during hard times ❤
Rock Me Tonight by Billy Squire is the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen

Aaliyah Rock The Boat and More Than A Woman

Dude yes
Every Time You Go Away - Paul Young
You take a piece of 🍖 with you
I'm surprised you didn't mention the song Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. That video was SO sad!
Once again you left out Til It Happens To You

Adding The Ghost of You by MCR... WM is goated.
A good candidate for this list would have been "It's all Coming Back to me Now" by Celine Dion.
unpopular opinion: my fave Queen album is "It's a Kind of Magic"- recorded as a Highlander soundtrack but they went off and made it something else. Who Wants to Live Forever is on it. Really tired of Bohemian Rhapsody- heard it enough, but happy to relisten to this album any ole time. - as to sad songs- there is a catharsis to indulging in the sadness, a little, on occasion ...
I don't think anyone should want to cry but I think we all have tears inside us that need to be let out. Sometimes, it's the strangest of songs that touches my inner tears and lets them out.
I knew Concrete Angel.

So far away by avenged sevenfold really is sad and just pulls hard on the heartstrings music video gets me every time as they said goodbye to their brother Jimmy the rev Sullivan
I doubt anyone here knows the song or artist but the video for "Constance" by a band called Spiritbox made me ugly cry and I am someone that has a hard time crying. It's unbelievably haunting. I'd love to hear other examples of sad music videos if y'all have them.
This should've been a top 50 list. But awesome!
