THE LONELIESTMåneskin
A gem-like ballad by Måneskin that resonates with bittersweet emotion.
Its aching, sweet melody and warm vocals sink deep into the heart.
Released in October 2022, this song has captured listeners around the world and won’t let go.
The lyrics depict a lonely night of a man in love with someone he can never have, evoking the poignant feelings of love that almost everyone has experienced at least once.
It’s a song that offers comfort to those grieving the loss of someone dear or thinking of someone far away.
Blonde on BlondeNada Surf
If you like indie rock bands, I think you know Nada Surf.
However, since only their singles tend to be famous, I’d like people to discover hidden gems like this on their albums as well.
It’s a song that conveys a sense of sadness, but the strength of the melody still shines through.
Nothing But A FoolNew Order
New Order are already a veteran band, but with each release they truly feel like they’re getting younger.
The sound is cutting-edge, as if a group of young people formed a band and put out a track.
This song is perfect from start to finish, with a touch of sadness woven in.
early morning rainPaul Weller
There are hardly any artists who have stayed at the forefront for as long as Paul Weller.
Normally, once you’re a veteran, you either retire or just perform live.
But to keep releasing new work consistently takes real energy, and I truly respect that.
Evil FriendsPortugal. The Man
The intro is filled with a melancholy atmosphere, but it suddenly shifts into a lively, upbeat melody.
Normally that would clash with the theme, yet somehow the singer’s voice from this band still sounds sad to me.
Recommended if you’re looking for a unique kind of sad song.

This Is How It FeelsRichard Ashcroft
It’s my recent favorite, and I listen to it at least once a day.
It feels like a song I’ve heard somewhere before, but if you stick with it to the end, I think you’ll be hooked after a few listens.
It’s truly an amazing track, and this person’s talent is far from running dry.
You Don’t Love Me YetRoky Erickson
If you can recognize this person right away without looking them up, you’re a true Western music fan.
He’s the central figure and vocalist of the legendary band the 13th Floor Elevators.
It might sound like an ordinary pop song, but to me it sounds sad.
