What are some of the saddest/best folk songs you've heard?
I am making a mix CD for myself, for long drives alone and whatnot. I am looking for folky songs, or just songs on the slower side. They don't necessarily have to be sad, just something that catches your attention and makes you feel. Some examples of what I already have are "Bookends Theme" by Simon & Garfunkel, "Sunday Morning" by The Velvet Underground, "Gotta Have You" by The Weepies, and Sonic Youth's version of "Superstar". Can anyone help? I very much love Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Iron & Wine. Stuff in those areas.
I really like those songs too. So I would suggest checking out Coldplay. Don't go for their new album "Viva La Vida" cause it doesn't have the same vibe as the songs you listed above.
I would really recommend their old albums "Parachutes" and "Rush of Blood To the Head".
The songs may seem a little funky at first, but give them a few listens and they'll grow on you. Some of them are just really beautiful. Those are my two favorite albums by Coldplay.
Have fun on your trip! And good luck, I really suggest looking into those albums!
EDIT: (Sorry this is a long answer) I would also recommend Priscilla Ahn. Check out her album "A Good Day". It has really pretty music too.
