beautiful songs that make you sad and contemplative.

I've been moping about a relationship that ended almost a decade ago to music all weekend, can't shake it, guess I never could.

sleep my child, beautiful child
good night, sleep tight
quietly the moon is looking
into your cradle.
i will tell you fairy tales
and sing you little songs.
but you must slumber with your little eyes closed
good night, sleep tight.
you will look like a hero
and be a Cossack deep in your heart.
i will accompany you and watch you go,
you will just wave your hand (x2)
how many secret bitter tears
will i shed that night?
sleep my angel, calmly, sweetly,
good night sleep tight.
Sleep, my beautiful child
Bayushki bayu*,
Quietly the moon is looking
Into your cradle.
I will tell you fairy tales
And sing you little songs,
Slumber, with your little eyes closed,
Bayushki bayu.
Over the stones, the Terek River flows
Turbid waves splash
As a wicked Chechen crawls ashore
Sharpening his dagger
But your father is an old soldier
Forged in battle
Sleep my little, and be calm
Bayushki Bayu
i will die from yearning.
inconsolably waiting.
I will pray the whole day long,
and at night I'll wonder.
I will think that you're in trouble,
far away in a strange land.
sleep now, as long as you know no sorrows,
good night sleep tight.
on the road i will give you
a small and holy icon.
and when you pray to god, you'll put it in front of you.
while preparing for the dangerous battle,
please remember me.
sleep, good boy, my beautiful,
good night sleep tight,
good night, sleep tight.

Reminds me of early summer over a decade back, when everything is turning lush and green, I'd have this album cranked high, doing the relaxing hour and half drive to college on sunny country roads. Always associated a strong longing for past good times when listening, it'll likely only get stronger as the years pass on.

This one is different, reminds me of a depressing cold February, no money, no car, had a break up a few months previously, truding around looking for work with no luck, listening to this album on repeat. I kept a lid on my depression, never told anybody until it faded as life got better. The song reminds me more and more of optimism these days.
Original is great, but I'm biased in favor of the version of Homeworld. Maybe it's because it's the first place I heard the song, but the vocals are much more haunting imo

My understanding was that the Shit that gets you Mad thread could also be used for posting sad, but I've seem some spill over in the Confess thread as there's a bit more sympathy there.

I could go on and on, but I don't want to spam the thread with a million songs.
