some possibilities

Love In Vain
Sister Morphine
No Expectations

Sister Morphine
Always Suffering
Wild Horses

Time waits for no one, sad
Coming down again, very sad
Almost hear you sigh, maybe saddest

As Tears Go By
was intended to, but it never really came off that sad, IMO

Sad Sad Sad!

Love In Vain.

Anyway You Look At It.

I love the stones because they have made NO 100% sad songs.

They are a happy group!

It will eventually happen and when it does we'll all know....

And what about Paint It Black?

i got the blues

Love In Vain
Time Waits For No One
Always Suffering

"Rape, murder, it's just a shot away..."

Even though some songs can be sad, they never really are. That's why the Stones are so great. They never feel sorry for themselves, like Bob Dylan or Neil Young do. There's always some kind of relief, either in the lyrics or in the music.

Neil Young is a great musician and I love his work, but if you listen to it to often you'll get depressed like @#$%&.

Coming Down Again
The Worst

but yeah: >>They never feel sorry for themselves <<

As tears go by, but more melancholic than sad

Blue Turns To Grey
(brilliantly effective as background music on "25 x 5" when they show that clip of Brian's funeral to the extent where it becomes hard to watch..)

When the film reaches the point of Stu's death, Love In Vain is beautifully played in the background, with a similar effect.

1. Time waits for no one
2. Little red rooster
3. Backstreet girl
4. Love in vain
5. Shine a light
6. Moonlight Mile
7. Play with fire
8. Blue turns to grey

slipping away

Think I'm going mad - I think that's perhaps the one example of Mick sounding genuinely distressed. Heart wrecking - "you ought see my shakin' hands, can't hold a drink..."

Blue Turns To Grey, also with this moving "25 x 5" clip of Brian's funeral in mind. I always liked this song, but the moment I saw this clip I actually became aware how great it is.

Alladin Story sounds pretty sad, even without lyrics!

Saddest of all - "Short and Curlies" - too bad, she's got you by the balls.

1. Let It Loose
2. Paint It Black
3. All About You

"Winter" is sad in a good way; as is "Hate it when you leave". But this is really true: the Stones, the two writers, never feel sorry for themselves. I think that might be a reason why they have been my main group all the life. because they are always there when I'm down.

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

Sad Day
Happy

"No Expectations" and their version of "Love In Vain" are pretty tough to beat in the tear-jerker category...

"Wild Horses" is devastatingly sad, but so beautiful that it's uplifting.

"Slipping Away" is also pretty great.

Yoy don't mean...?

Out of Tears from Voodoo Lounge is a pretty good 'sad' one, or is it more defiant than sad!? hmmm!
