In an ongoing search for the saddest music in the world (inspired by the title of the Guy Maddin film) here is a small mix of my notable favourites. Eight tracks including music by Abel Korzeniowski, Clint Mansell and, as I have just added, Scala & Kolacny Brothers.

Using some of these tracks in a play I am writing, thanks for introducing them to me!


Nice mix, but I'm sorry, no collection of sad music is complete without Gorecki's Symphony no. 3, particularly the second movement. Blows the Lost soundtrack out of the water. Beck's "Nobody's Fault but My Own" and Kate Nash's Live at Abbey Road version of "Nicest Thing" are also some of my fav sad songs. Seriously, though, if you haven't heard Gorecki and truly are searching for sad songs, look it up, the lyrics are taken from writing on a Gestapo prison cell.


seriously guy? did you really come here just to talk about how your sad music is so much better than this sad music? could you be less of a hipster douche please
