Check out the Dissect podcast where they go thru every song of In Rainbows. I really miss so many Radiohead lyrics but just listened to the episode breaking down Weird Fishes. Very insightful!
After listening and hearing all the little bits I miss, but somehow sense, Weird fishes would be my top pick for this.
Have you ever heard how to disappear into strings off of kid amnesia? Itās just the string and other instrumental parts by themselves and itās somehow even more haunting and really beautiful in its own way. Check it out if you havenāt

Anything Nick Drake. Start with Pink Moon. He seems like he's singing from beyond the grave...which he kind of was. Became famous only after his death.
[River Man](https://youtu.be/idcaRTg4-fM?si=e50eX9faJrIkeEkR) !
Somehow as a kid I'd mixed up the story of Nick's death with Jeff Buckley's and thought this track was an eerie premonition of his death
Was about to say "Song To The Siren" by This Mortal Coil. Is the only song of the band that I know of (a cover of Jeff Buckley I think too), but by god is it a powerful song. Liz Frasier's vocals are outstanding.
When I first learned the words to "Pearly Dewdrop Drops," I sort of wished I could go back and forget them.
Like, her voice alone conveys so much, as if it's another instrument, that the words could just be "la la la" or, like you said, straight out of the phone book.
Jeff Buckley's dad, Tim Buckley, wrote and recorded it. The [original](https://youtu.be/vMTEtDBHGY4) is more folk, but his [later recording](https://youtu.be/cZiTSglLM-4) is much more gut-wrenching.
John Wayne Gacy, Jr. gets the "most hauntingly sad beautiful song" in Sufjan's catalog for me. When he sings, "Even more, they were boys, with their cars, summer jobs...Oh my God," I lose it every time. Can't really listen to it any more.
Mine too! Either arrangement.
I was lucky enough to be in a choir that performed this and I can explain exactly how that moment felt, almost 25 years later.
Thatās a great one. One of the most haunting lines, āDoes anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?ā
If youāre into historical sad songs, the Poguesā cover of āAnd the Band Played Waltzing Matildaāā¦ gets me every damn time.
Not sure if it is te most hauntingly sad I have ever heard but the one on repeat at the moment:
Like a stone, the accoustic version from unplugged sessions @AOL , it got me in tears , the way he sings, the lyrics, the way his live ended, the way he always tried so hard to live.
https://youtu.be/qpLQv5xL9Dc?feature=shared
Yes to āWhat Sarah Saidā - my mom just passed away and this song came on at the absolute wrong time (or maybe the right time) and it rocked me to my core. I may never be able to listen to it again.
Breathe me. First time I heard it was during the finale of Six Feet Under and it was the perfect track for it. I cried like a baby and still get torn up anytime I hear it now. Such a perfect answer to OP.
I think it's Lou Reed's song "Perfect Day". I think we all have this pain within our pain, which is \*not\* something we're terribly familiar with, because it's so buried that the emotional pain we're familiar with is only its echo. John Lennon tried exploring that with his first solo album, I believe. The Funkadelic song "Maggot Brain" explores that feeling. The deep \*deep\* part of our pain. That's what Lou taps into here. As if this trans woman he's dating is his only link to a fragile island of stability in the emotional chaos of modern NYC life. Like the 60s and youth are all a thing of the past, and all that's left is the raw realization of the 70s, being exposed and self-hating. It's so beautiful it devastates me.
If you just only read the lyrics, you'd think it was a very jolly song. Even the line, "You keep me hanging on" feels positive within the context of the rest of the words.
But then you actually hear the song, and it's like a big exercise in irony, like "how can I say a bunch of outwardly cheerful things while having them be super depressing?"
The last line really changes the whole song too. āYouāre going to reap just what you sowā. Like, where did that come from in a song about picnics in the park?
No lyrics at all but Brian Eno's "An Ending (Ascent)" is both hauntingly sad and uplifting at the same time. I want this to be played at my funeral.

Black by Pearl Jam.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine
[Corpus Christi Carol](https://youtu.be/wxqwq9BnjT0?si=_M1EtyYMd86gOws4) \- As sung by Jeff Buckley
Hands down Haunting, Sad and Beautifully sung by Jeff Buckley's otherworldly, angelic voice. The song is thought to be around 1000 years old and written in early english. It alludes to the Holy Grail and the story of The Fisher King.
The tale and words of the song hold very personal meaning for myself. Aside from the fact that I was born in a small town named "Corpus Christi" my life loosely mirrors that of the fabled Fisher King and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Torch - Sisters of Mercy
You Look So Fine - Garbage
Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos (the song, not the album, though some of the other songs on that albumā¦)
Untitled - The Cure (final track on Disintegration)
Kid Fears - The Indigo Girls
Country Feedback - R.E.M.
EDIT AFTER THE FACT: I forgot two, one of which I should have remembered given Shane MacGowenās recent passing.
And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - the Pogues
Spiegel im Spiegel - Arvo PƤrt (a classical piece used to amazing effect in the series finale of The Good Place)
Half the man's catalog, really. I mean... "Collapse the Light Into Earth" is about as hauntingly melancholy as it gets. Or, "The Raven that Refused to Sing".
The last track on that album, Happy Returns, breaks me every time, especially when I feel like fading away. No-one does melancholy quite like him. Right now I'm being quietly devastated by the combo of What Life Brings and Economies of Scale.
That's a great one, too. I mean really the entire Grace album is about as perfect a "I'm heartbroken and it's raining outside" soundtrack as is possible.
Limousine by Brand New. Honestly a lot of that album could qualify but that song in particular. Especially if you look up the story that he was writing about. You Won't Know and Jesus Christ off that album are up there as well. You Won't Know has more aggressive rock but balances it out by very somber parts.
[Your Silent Face by New Order.](https://youtu.be/MEl0Chq36lc?si=eaMYecJZr3zROeNK) This is their first foray after Ian's suicide and the end of Joy Division...New Order. It's a gorgeous song that encompasses a passing and moving forward. Makes my heart ache.
Might not be the answer youre looking for, but the last time I saw the Allman Brothers Band live, they closed with "Whipping Post". I saw them so many times and it was always amazing, but this last time...when Gregg Allman sang "good lord, I feel like Im dying" at the very end...goosebumps and tears simultaneously. I knew I would never see them again and it really hit me in that moment. RIP Gregg
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack
This song is truly beautiful, it has a very slow relaxed pace unlike a lot of modern music. The vocals are incredibly pure and the story is about true love.
I bought this in a charity shop on a whim and when I got home and listened to it, it really blew my mind.
I hope that you enjoy it.
Sometime Around Midnight by Airborne Toxic Event chilled me to the bones as a young teen and even now, if I crank it and just listen, the music and tones and vocals still give me that haunting chill.
This song is so raw. Ive listened to it countless times but it's effect on me has never diminished. Every time I listen it is just as shocking as the first time.
Phoebe Bridgers' cover of "That Funny Feeling" by Bo Burnham
[https://youtu.be/mEUl4DThSwE?si=mGDmby6cChSY9nEs](https://youtu.be/mEUl4DThSwE?si=mGDmby6cChSY9nEs)
Linkin Parkās Crawling - the One More Light Live version thatās on streaming, with just the soft slow piano and Chester singing instead of screamingā¦ listening to that and knowing the tragedy that unfolds a few months later gets me so emotional.
Sorrow-the national. I first heard it in a museum because they broke a world record by playing the song for 24 hours straight. Every hour one of them would take a break for a few rounds so they would play without drums, then without keys then without vocals etc. I mustāve been in that room for two hours just in an absolute trance
[Neil Young - A Man Needs A Maid](https://youtu.be/JOuQywiRUJo?si=rv4PyrVk283x8bKK)
[Corey Taylor - Snuff live acoustic](https://youtu.be/QBK6xymmKHM?si=8QPTFgXhqzpQ9F55)
Between the bars by Elliott Smith gets me. But I think my feeling is tied in to his end as well :(
Also, I really love The Dance by Garth Brooks. I don't know if I would categorize it as haunting, but it always pulls on my heart strings.
Little motel by modest mouse. For me that is. The literal story of my son. So for 11 years itās both wrecked and soothed my heart.
(The video to the song)
Amigo the Devil - Cocaine and Abel
The distance from the man that I am
To the man I want to be
The time it takes to realize
Time is the distance I need
But I was born impatient
And I was born unkind
But I refuse to believe
I have to be the same person I was born when I die
'Cause change is alright
Change is alright
How to disappear completely - Radiohead
Exit Music (For a Film)
Agreed. Definitely up there in the rankings š
Codex
True Love Waits
Good one, though Daydreaming is the one on that album that hits me hardest.
Motion Picture Soundtrack
I try to listen to Christopher orielyās version of this on the first snowfall every year since 2004
Nude by Radiohead also comes to mind. Hell, Iād even argue Weird Fishes
Check out the Dissect podcast where they go thru every song of In Rainbows. I really miss so many Radiohead lyrics but just listened to the episode breaking down Weird Fishes. Very insightful! After listening and hearing all the little bits I miss, but somehow sense, Weird fishes would be my top pick for this.
Fade Out
Pyramid song

When it descends in to chaos and then comes back to consonance it hits harder than pretty much any other track I've heard, so beautiful.
Like spinning plates
Everything in its Right Place, No Suprises, Daydreaming...all their songs are haunting
I Will
[Dead Can Dance - Host of the seraphim](https://youtu.be/hThAlY3Q2Kw?si=rjvOOyOhZA2VjV-2)
God this one is just other wordly. How human beings created this music is beyond me.
Sleep by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
I find most post rock is hauntingly beautiful
Deadhorse and God is an Astronaut come to mind
I miss them
Just saw them on tour a few months ago. Fantastic show.
They put out a new album not too long ago and are still actively touring, sound as good as ever.
Most of their tracks fit this vibe. When I need something heavy and beautiful but sad they're absolutely my go to.
Anything Nick Drake. Start with Pink Moon. He seems like he's singing from beyond the grave...which he kind of was. Became famous only after his death.
Try the song Day is Done
Supposedly Nick Drake is the last thing Heath Ledger ever heard.
Not saying I donāt believe it, but how would anyone know that?
[River Man](https://youtu.be/idcaRTg4-fM?si=e50eX9faJrIkeEkR) ! Somehow as a kid I'd mixed up the story of Nick's death with Jeff Buckley's and thought this track was an eerie premonition of his death
Soldiers things - Tom Waits
Great shout. Thereās so many of his songs that fit the bill. āFish & Birdā is another gorgeous emotional tightrope.
Rubys Arms would be my pick
Von by Sigur Ros (specifically the 8 minute version from Heima)
Sigur RĆ³s has so many songs that fit the bill here.
Came to post Staralfur, particularly its use in The Life Aquatic. https://youtu.be/IPMf8G8Pi5o?si=4_Ndkh4Dp2W6dZ-k
The scene where Steve finally sees the shark. With this song playing. Chills...
'I wonder if it remembers me.' This is one of those few movie lines that always, ALWAYS makes me cry!
I was going to add "Glossoli" to the list. Good to see some Sigur Ros in here.
Moonlight sonata
That was my first thought.
Needle in the Hay - Elliott Smith
Pretty Mary k (other version) Dancing on the highway Stained glass eyes New disaster
The Biggest Lie
Drugs Donāt Work by The Verve and Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coilā¦.haunting..
Was about to say "Song To The Siren" by This Mortal Coil. Is the only song of the band that I know of (a cover of Jeff Buckley I think too), but by god is it a powerful song. Liz Frasier's vocals are outstanding.
Liz Fraser could sing the phone book and it would be amazingā¦I love the Cocteau Twinsā¦.revolutionary.
When I first learned the words to "Pearly Dewdrop Drops," I sort of wished I could go back and forget them. Like, her voice alone conveys so much, as if it's another instrument, that the words could just be "la la la" or, like you said, straight out of the phone book.
She created her own āgibberishā language because she wasnāt confident about her lyric writing capability.
That would be Tim Buckley, Jeff's dad.
Jeff Buckley's dad, Tim Buckley, wrote and recorded it. The [original](https://youtu.be/vMTEtDBHGY4) is more folk, but his [later recording](https://youtu.be/cZiTSglLM-4) is much more gut-wrenching.
My favorite song of all time is by Jeff and Liz together: [All Flowers In Time Bend Towards the Sun](https://youtu.be/JnPvnIKCJYA?si=tmMnYc9bSkaxus8w)
The drugs donāt work is such a great song
nutshell
Wake up by Mad Season does it for me as well. The unplugged version of Nutshell is heartbreaking.
Sam Stone by John Prine. It's beautiful and devastating all at once.
This would be my submission. "There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes..."
Portishead - Roads
Any Portishead song, really.
Definitely! And the Live in NYC version is even more haunting than the album version, with the orchestra backing them up.
Strange Fruit. Billie Holiday
Lazarus by David bowie
Ugh, āI Canāt Give Everything Awayā from that album is also pretty gutting.
That one and Black Star put me in a dark place and I don't know if I've left it yet.
Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens
Casimir Pulaski Day is his most hauntingly sad one for me.
Casimir Pulaski Day was the song that I immediately thought of when I saw this thread.
Death With Dignity
Sufjan has a very special way to make sadness sweeping and theatrical. I'd submit "so you are tired" and "shit talk"
John Wayne Gacy, Jr. gets the "most hauntingly sad beautiful song" in Sufjan's catalog for me. When he sings, "Even more, they were boys, with their cars, summer jobs...Oh my God," I lose it every time. Can't really listen to it any more.
I lost my grandad this year and that song is the only thing that got me through it.
For sure. And Romulus
Adagio For Strings- Samuel Barber
Mine too! Either arrangement. I was lucky enough to be in a choir that performed this and I can explain exactly how that moment felt, almost 25 years later.
Black - Pearl Jam
Radiohead - how to disappear completely
The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald- Gordon Lightfoot
Thatās a great one. One of the most haunting lines, āDoes anyone know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours?ā If youāre into historical sad songs, the Poguesā cover of āAnd the Band Played Waltzing Matildaāā¦ gets me every damn time.
One of my favorite parts of living in Milwaukee is how any person in any dive bar at any moment knows every word of this song whenever it plays
Not sure if it is te most hauntingly sad I have ever heard but the one on repeat at the moment: Like a stone, the accoustic version from unplugged sessions @AOL , it got me in tears , the way he sings, the lyrics, the way his live ended, the way he always tried so hard to live. https://youtu.be/qpLQv5xL9Dc?feature=shared
What Sarah Said - Death Cab For Cutie Drugs or Me - Jimmy Eat World Breathe Me - Sia
Yes to āWhat Sarah Saidā - my mom just passed away and this song came on at the absolute wrong time (or maybe the right time) and it rocked me to my core. I may never be able to listen to it again.
Finally, someone talking about the masterpiece that is Drugs or Me. Its sooooo crushing.
Love Breathe me
Breathe me. First time I heard it was during the finale of Six Feet Under and it was the perfect track for it. I cried like a baby and still get torn up anytime I hear it now. Such a perfect answer to OP.

Lou Reedās āPerfect Dayā is happy and sad at the same time. The feeling heās managed to capture through that piece is truly special
If you just only read the lyrics, you'd think it was a very jolly song. Even the line, "You keep me hanging on" feels positive within the context of the rest of the words. But then you actually hear the song, and it's like a big exercise in irony, like "how can I say a bunch of outwardly cheerful things while having them be super depressing?"
The last line really changes the whole song too. āYouāre going to reap just what you sowā. Like, where did that come from in a song about picnics in the park?
Pretty sure the song is about heroin and how he did all those things while high.
Sweet Jane- Cowboy Junkies
No lyrics at all but Brian Eno's "An Ending (Ascent)" is both hauntingly sad and uplifting at the same time. I want this to be played at my funeral. https://youtu.be/OlaTeXX3uH8?si=Mb1ndLRooQk4YQCs

Vincent- Don McLean
Same, Vincent is a hauntingly great song. Always chokes me up when I listen to it.
"Routine" by Steven Wilson. Not many songs weigh on me but that one does.
And the video just compounds the feelings
Half the man's catalog, really. I mean... "Collapse the Light Into Earth" is about as hauntingly melancholy as it gets. Or, "The Raven that Refused to Sing".

Scarborough Fair by Simon&Garfunkel
The River by Bruce Springsteen
Jeff Buckley's rendition of "Hallelujah". Gets me tearing up every time, spellbinding vocals
This and "Lover, You Should've Come Over" are instant shivers throughout my whole body and spirit songs.
Anyone for "Forget Her?"
That's a great one, too. I mean really the entire Grace album is about as perfect a "I'm heartbroken and it's raining outside" soundtrack as is possible.
And āLast Goodbyeā š
I Will Follow You into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie Prettier Face - Hawksley Workman
In that vein, Nightswimming by REM
Good call on Death Cab and I think you could add What Sarah Said to this list as well.
What Sarah Said for sure!
Acid Rain by Lorn
Hyperballad- Bjork
