(Finished June 4th, 2025) Part 3 of Those Amazing Melancholy Ballad Masterpieces

Hello,

I’ve written blogs like this before, but I decided I wanted to post another similar blog series. These are songs that have a very melancholy feeling to them. These songs are so much better with that extra melancholy feeling. These aren’t lovey dovey songs- that will be a separate blog series.

35) Tori Amos “Silent All Those Years”:

36) The Highwomen “Highwomen”:

37) Sara “Starship”:

38) Lin Manuel-Miranda and Elise Goldsberry “It’s Quiet Uptown”:

39) Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band “The River”:

40) Gladys Knight “Neither One Of Us”:

This song is so sad and I can barely listen to it. Poor Sandy and Little Andy. 41) Dolly Parton “Me and Little Andy”:

42) Lana Del Rey “Summertime Sadness”:

43) Sneaker Pimps “Six Feet Underground”:

44) U2 “Love Is Blindness”:
