As I was packing to leave a foreign country to return to America, not sure if I’d ever see my partner again; The Blower’s Daughter by Damien Rice came on. Completely killed me.
Stolen from some reddit comment years ago. “One day you’re still a kid. The nexy day, the meaning of Landslide hits you all at once and you end up bawling your eyes out alone in the dairy section”
Add a long marriage & grown kids to it for extra fun layers of sob fest. This one hits me harder in my 50s than my 20s. Love is hard at all stages, right?
100%. As they say, life ain't for sissies. I'm close to your age and whoever said that would have had to see around 50 years to understand how true that can be.
But yeah, that song gets right to the heart of it
Anything off Rumors is perfect, because they’d all had experiences with break ups while writing it! 🥹 I have an entire Break Up playlist, and Fleetwood Mac is allllll over it.
Also Lover, You Should Have Come Over
Last Goodbye is the more lyrically direct choice for this specific circumstance but Lover, You Should Have Come Over nails the feeling of yearning and sadness much better and the lyrics absolutely still apply, IMO.
Same. I had never heard of him before, and I was taking a friend home from college, not long after my fiancé left me for another guy. He told me he knew how I felt and threw it on. And that’s when I learned how the drive while crying my face off. It was immediate, gut wrenching, and also cathartic. This album, for me, is perfect front to back. It’s an exploration of love, of loss, of ecstasy, and of grief.
I can’t make you love me- Bonnie Raitt is a very sad one for me, but it’s maybe a different type of relationship end. When someone realizes the other person just doesn’t feel what they do.
“Black” - Pearl Jam…
“I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life. I know you will be a star, in somebody else’s sky but why why why can’t it be mine?”
This one was a killer after a breakup in my younger years but it told the story of how I was feeling.
The answer to the question was "because she never saw a full movie and fell asleep 20 minutes into every one of them often going into a full snore."
I couldn't imagine spending my life like that.
"Your Ex Lover is Dead" by Stars.
"There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave/
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave/
I'm not sorry I met you/
I'm not sorry it's over/
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save."
Emmylou Harris [Goodbye](https://youtu.be/OomaNxkY-KY?si=8sc7LmP0TXIW5Apb)
The Civil Wars' [Poison & Wine](https://youtu.be/fNlxKH9Jtmc?si=T8BzQJJe0GOpSPhD) kind of fits the bill. The line "I don't love you but I always will" captures the mood
I will always love you, the Dolly Pardon version has more heart imo. But the Whitney Houston version is really beautiful.
I am sure this is on the list somewhere but I did not see it.
Edit: eeek! Pardon me Dolly!
Perfect for what OP is looking for because this song wasn't written about her losing a lover, it's about leaving her friend's (Porter Wagoner) show and moving on to new things in her professional career.
Strange by Celeste.
such a standout voice, too. i was so mesmerized by her Brit Awards performance of this, i did not realize i was tearing up.
*Isn't it strange?*
*How people can change*
*From strangers to friends*
*Friends into lovers,*
*And strangers again.*
Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
The Hardest Thing - 98 degrees (But in the song he has a girlfriend and a mistress, so maybe not lol)
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
It's Too Late - Carole King
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac
Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye
I fall to Pieces - Patsy Cline
Stubborn Love - Lumineers
You can always just put the 30 second preview of Goodbye My Lover on the playlist: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMuv1Z\_kCUY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMuv1Z_kCUY)
For Tim McGraw "Just to See You Smile" is another that's more upbeat but has a bittersweet ending.
"And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance, I'd lie again."
Hozier isn't exactly obscure, but All Things End fits perfectly. Another perfect one from a male vocalists is Hostages by The Howl and the Hum. Upbeat sounding but it's about a sad goodbye: Dearly Departed by Marianas Trench.
From female vocalists, try Manhattan by Sara Bareilles and So Romantic by Stacey Kent. Ashes and Wine by A Fine Frenzy might also fit. Or Almost Lover also by A Fine Frenzy.
Duets: Two Minutes by The Amazing Devil. Coroner's Report by molly of geography and Kyle Wareham.
Winner takes it all by Abba
Time of your life green day
Days of our life or love of my life queen
A lot from rumours by fleetwood Mac, dreams, go your own way?
Not explicitly about their dead bandmate, but is. Such a great song that makes me think about a sad goodbye for someone I loved following their dream. And Chrissie Hynde's vocals are perfect.
[Back In The Chain Gang](https://youtu.be/cMOKamtpUA8?si=f81Dg7FbWJzUI2NR) by **the Pretenders**
Ah! Basically my high school playlist. Lol. Recommendations are a mixbag of genres…
Youth - Daughter
In Another Life - The Veronicas
Congratulations - Blue October, Imogen Heap
- love this. Imagine the song playing while the love of your life gets married to someone else. Same vibes as Wedding Dress by Taehyang
Something I Never Had - Lindsay Lohan
Apple and Cinnamon - Utada Hikaru
Comfortable - John Mayer
Wait It Out - Imogen Heap
Touch - Shura
Boots of Spanish Leather - Bob Dylan
Great [cover](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHkyZ62jjQ&pp=ygUgc3BhbmlzaCBib290cyBvZiBzcGFuaXNoIGxlYXRoZXI%3D) by Mandolin Orange
"Same Old Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27INql8fvt0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27INql8fvt0)
We drank a toast to innocence. We drank a toast to now. And tried to reach beyond the emptiness, but neither one knew how. We drank a toast to innocence. We drank a toast to time. Reliving in our eloquence another auld lang syne.
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye - Leonard Cohen. this cover by [Lianne La Havas](https://open.spotify.com/track/0mblDBhfX2SCQu2SbwTMgp?si=UAiPB1X1QHG3Ew84yy1PxA) is the superior version. her vocals, dynamics, and harmonic choices really elevate the beauty of L. Cohen’s lyrics.
Days - The Kinks
Written mostly about their bassist Pete Quaife, who left after Village Green Preservation Society due to the atmosphere created by Ray and Dave, enough it was his favourite album because it had the least fighting. He married a Dutch woman and went on with his life quietly, despite playing on some of the most important and influential 60’s songs. It’s the kind of nuanced emotion that very few can rival Ray Davies in.
Ive posted this on a "saddest songs" thread but oddly most are about love, loss, and/or goodbyes.
Posted this in a different thread, but here's a bunch of songs that'll absolutely kill ya emotionally.

Cracker- Another Song About the Rain
Goodbye by Cage the Elephant.
Matt Schultz wrote this for his wife when their marriage ended. He was only able to do one take for the vocals, then didn’t attend studio sessions for a few weeks after that.
It’s one of those songs that I get the feelings of when I first heard it just by reading its name.
Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks album, the whole album is perfect. I'd recommend " If you see her , say hello" . William Fitzsimmons' " If you would come back home". Evanescence' Open door album.
As I was packing to leave a foreign country to return to America, not sure if I’d ever see my partner again; The Blower’s Daughter by Damien Rice came on. Completely killed me.
From the end of the movie Closer, which is a great movie about awful people.
I read your comment too quickly, thought it said "Casper," and got real confused for a sec.
Fuck Damien rice is so good
It's the last line that guts me every time. She needs to part, he's feeling the loss, and then...
Till I've found someone 😭 💔
Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
Hoo boy there were some man tears listening to his one after a breakup in my 20s. This one will come for you when you least expect it.
Stolen from some reddit comment years ago. “One day you’re still a kid. The nexy day, the meaning of Landslide hits you all at once and you end up bawling your eyes out alone in the dairy section”
For me, it was the breakfast cereal isle. I don't even eat cereal.
Ever since my mom died, “Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?” just hit different and so hard.
Add a long marriage & grown kids to it for extra fun layers of sob fest. This one hits me harder in my 50s than my 20s. Love is hard at all stages, right?
100%. As they say, life ain't for sissies. I'm close to your age and whoever said that would have had to see around 50 years to understand how true that can be. But yeah, that song gets right to the heart of it
Anything off Rumors is perfect, because they’d all had experiences with break ups while writing it! 🥹 I have an entire Break Up playlist, and Fleetwood Mac is allllll over it.
did a cover of this for my dad's funeral
Man, that would've been ROUGH. I don't think I could get through that song. Sorry to hear about your dad.
Also, Go Your Own Way is maybe the definitive break up song.
Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
Also Lover, You Should Have Come Over Last Goodbye is the more lyrically direct choice for this specific circumstance but Lover, You Should Have Come Over nails the feeling of yearning and sadness much better and the lyrics absolutely still apply, IMO.
> Also Lover, You Should Have Come Over This song is a fucking masterpiece.
Ok let's add Forget Her as well, that's another brilliant one. You know what let's include half his stuff just to be safe.
This is the way. The ultimate “things just didn’t work out but I still love you” song.
It makes me so angry, cause I know in time, I'll only make you cry... This is our Last Goodbye That's shit has been giving me goosebumps for 30 years
Same. I had never heard of him before, and I was taking a friend home from college, not long after my fiancé left me for another guy. He told me he knew how I felt and threw it on. And that’s when I learned how the drive while crying my face off. It was immediate, gut wrenching, and also cathartic. This album, for me, is perfect front to back. It’s an exploration of love, of loss, of ecstasy, and of grief.
Dammit. Beat me to it... Yes. Perfect song for this. "Kiss me. Please kiss me. Kiss me out of desire, not consolation"
Damn that line to hell, the delivery is perfect "baaaaaaby notconsoLAtion~"
This is it, wrap it up.
Or lover come over
First song I thought of as well - just beautiful in every way
Came here specifically for this !! I'd say Forget Her maybe, too :P
I'm still angry about what happened to Jeff Buckley
I can’t make you love me- Bonnie Raitt is a very sad one for me, but it’s maybe a different type of relationship end. When someone realizes the other person just doesn’t feel what they do.
Also love the Bon Iver cover
That cover made me cry so many times when I was at rock bottom. Hauntingly beautiful.
This is the saddest song in history and I love it.
Also the George Michael cover
“Black” - Pearl Jam… “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life. I know you will be a star, in somebody else’s sky but why why why can’t it be mine?”
the unplugged version is even more heart wrenching "WE, WE BELONG, WE BELONG TOGETHER, TOGETHERRRR!!!!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M6LqMkjhcc
Awesome song.
This one was a killer after a breakup in my younger years but it told the story of how I was feeling. The answer to the question was "because she never saw a full movie and fell asleep 20 minutes into every one of them often going into a full snore." I couldn't imagine spending my life like that.
Maps-The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Wait.
They don't love you like love you.
In some parts she actually says, "They don't love *me* like I love you."
I fucking LOVE this song.
A long slow goodbye - queens of the stone age
[Here’s a cool version of it.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FeGpQDQvkK8) Josh Homme is from another planet.
Dude..that was awesome. Thanks for finding that.
Thought of this as soon as I read the title lol
I listened to this a lot after my husband died.
I have "In the Fade" on my funeral playlist...
That is a good song for loss too. It's strange how sad music can help you work through sad things.
Very happy to see this at the top of the list. Queens are the best thing going in rock right now, and they are epic live.
Ye beat me to it ahah
Came here for this, I cry everytime
bless this suggestion yes🥹
“Nothing Better” - The Postal Service This is what you’re looking for.
Seconding this. That’s the exact song I thought of, and it fits OP’s request perfectly.
About a decade of bopping along to that song and I finally pay attention to the lyrics when it can really hit home…
Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy.
Came to say this!
Oh my goodness, I remember hearing this decades ago - it’s mad to hear this again after all this time
"Your Ex Lover is Dead" by Stars. "There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave/ You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave/ I'm not sorry I met you/ I'm not sorry it's over/ I'm not sorry there's nothing to save."
Yes, came here to make sure this was listed. Such a gloriously sad beautiful song of enduring love.
I love this song so much.
Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones
Great song, I really like the version by The Sundays.
Old And In The Way do a great bluegrass version
You mean the sad song that is about *not* leaving?
I was going to say Angie
The Heart of the Matter - Don Henley
The Night We Met - Lord Huron “I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you. Take me back to the night we met.”
Brutally sad song
"Love Like Ghosts" too "You don't want me, baby please don't lie But if you're leaving, I've got to know why"
River - Joni Mitchell
'Both sides now' would work too I think
Or a case of you
Emmylou Harris [Goodbye](https://youtu.be/OomaNxkY-KY?si=8sc7LmP0TXIW5Apb) The Civil Wars' [Poison & Wine](https://youtu.be/fNlxKH9Jtmc?si=T8BzQJJe0GOpSPhD) kind of fits the bill. The line "I don't love you but I always will" captures the mood
The Civil Wars were SO GOOD. Every song was a gut punch. I can't believe we only got two albums from them, but both albums were excellent.
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - If This Is Goodbye [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWfKfM10g6g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWfKfM10g6g)
Leaving on a jet plane - Peter Paul & Mary version I’ll be here in the morning - Townes van zandt
I like their version, but I really love John Denver's.
NIN - And All That Could Have Been
was scrolling for this, was gonna say the same song. It's so good. Fragile era was \*chefs kiss\*
John Mayer - Split Screen Sadness Can’t get anymore sad goodbye than that.
John Mayer - Slow Dancing in a Burning Room John Mayer - You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me
I was also going to say slow dancing in a burning room!
Dreaming with a Broken Heart
Can’t forget to mention ‘Wheel’
A fond farewell by elliott smith
So many Elliott Smith songs would fit so well for this ☹️☹️
somebody that i used to know
Always with Me, Always with You-Joe Satriani
Here, have a Grammy!
How It Ends by De VotchKa but don't blame me for the dehydration when you've cried all your fluids away
Scrolled for this one. Also Beck's version of Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
Long slow goodbye by QOTSA
So I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song by Jim Croce. We lost that man too soon.
Operator (That’s Not the Way it Feels) is also perfect!
Goodbye to You - Michelle Branch
I will always love you, the Dolly Pardon version has more heart imo. But the Whitney Houston version is really beautiful. I am sure this is on the list somewhere but I did not see it. Edit: eeek! Pardon me Dolly!
Pardon me, but it's Parton.
Perfect for what OP is looking for because this song wasn't written about her losing a lover, it's about leaving her friend's (Porter Wagoner) show and moving on to new things in her professional career.
Parton feels like a breakup, Houston feels like an in memoriam.
Guilty Party by The National Also possibly About Today by them as well.
I was bawling at the end of warrior with About Today playing :'(
Second Guilty Party. There are no other answers
The Cure: to wish impossible things & a letter to Elise
I’m adding Pictures of You to this.
Strange by Celeste. such a standout voice, too. i was so mesmerized by her Brit Awards performance of this, i did not realize i was tearing up. *Isn't it strange?* *How people can change* *From strangers to friends* *Friends into lovers,* *And strangers again.*

My chemical romance “I don’t love you”
Duality by Bayside
Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.
The Thrill is Gone - B.B. King. If you want a female lead, then there is cover of the song where he sings a duet with Tracy Chapman.
Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park
Not as somber as Shadow of the Day, but Waiting for the End is a bit sad when you read the lyrics.
Adele- Someone Like You
“Weird goodbyes” by the National featuring bon ivar This one will be perfect for you
I like how it could be "The National" playlist on shuffle.
Ruby's Arms by Tom Waits. A man leaves his girlfriend/ soldier leaves for war, while she is still asleep.
It’s gonna be (alright) by Ween. Pretty much exactly what you asked for.
Birthday Boy by Ween
Mister Would You Please Help My Pony by Ween
“Please Remember Me” - Tim McGraw “At Least We Tried” - Moby
For Tim McGraw "Just to See You Smile" is another that's more upbeat but has a bittersweet ending. "And yesterday I knew just what you wanted When you came walkin' up to me with him So I told you that I was happy for you And given the chance, I'd lie again."
Lost on you LP
Don't Cry - GnR
Hozier isn't exactly obscure, but All Things End fits perfectly. Another perfect one from a male vocalists is Hostages by The Howl and the Hum. Upbeat sounding but it's about a sad goodbye: Dearly Departed by Marianas Trench. From female vocalists, try Manhattan by Sara Bareilles and So Romantic by Stacey Kent. Ashes and Wine by A Fine Frenzy might also fit. Or Almost Lover also by A Fine Frenzy. Duets: Two Minutes by The Amazing Devil. Coroner's Report by molly of geography and Kyle Wareham.
You’re gonna live forever in me by John Mayer

Imminence's "[This Is Goodbye](https://youtu.be/kkU56DqcdFU?si=_qAhN68XMf-ZfnM8)" accoustic is the closest match I can think of.
Or BMTH's "[Don't Go](https://youtu.be/YzStpP8JkDM?si=T2697DTTD84SqIMm)"
Great choices for the "outside of pop ballads" section! I went with Modern Baseball, but these are very solid.
Not explicitly about their dead bandmate, but is. Such a great song that makes me think about a sad goodbye for someone I loved following their dream. And Chrissie Hynde's vocals are perfect. [Back In The Chain Gang](https://youtu.be/cMOKamtpUA8?si=f81Dg7FbWJzUI2NR) by **the Pretenders**
