The 10 saddest songs of the 90s

The Ranker portal, known for its user -based lists, has published a selection of the 10 most sad songs of the 90s. Remember that recent scientific research has placed Nirvana’s “Something in The Way” as the saddest song of this era.

The first in the list of ranks is Eric Clapton’s tears in heaven, a deeply emotional ballad written in memory of his son, who died tragically. The song, with its soft melody and its moving letter, remains a symbol of pain and overcoming.

Secondly, “Nothing compares 2 u”, played by Sinéad O’Connor. The music, originally written by Prince, has gained a visceral and full of interpretation of lament, becoming one of the greatest successes of the decade.

Take a look at the full list of the 10 saddest songs of the 90s, according to Ranker:

10. Soul Asylum – “Runaway Train”

9. Céline Dion – “My heart will go on”

8. Jewel – “Piocchi Games”

2. Jeff Buckley – “Hallelujah”
