The saddest rock music videos of all time

There are plenty of rock songs out there with miserable lyrics about failed relationships, drug addiction, and death. But sometimes a music video can take a sad song and make it even sadder with its images. Here are ten of the most downcast rock music videos of all time.
1. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana
The video for Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is set in a high school gymnasium that’s been taken over by a group of outcasts and misfits. They dance and thrash around, destroying everything in sight while the popular kids watch on in bemusement. It’s a song about teen alienation, and the video perfectly captures the feeling of being an outsider looking in.
2. “Yesterday” by The Beatles
The Beatles’ “Yesterday” is a beautiful ballad about lost love, and the video does nothing to lighten the mood. It features footage of the band members walking alone through city streets and empty landscapes, looking forlorn and lost in thought. The clip ends with a close-up of Paul McCartney playing the song’s final chords on his guitar, his expression one of deep sadness.
3. ” Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” is already a pretty miserable song, but the video takes things to another level entirely. It features footage of lead singer Trent Reznor wandering through what appears to be an abandoned factory, his face hidden in shadow. The clip is intercut with shots of Reznor in his younger years, looking happy and carefree before his life took a turn for the worse. By the end of the video, it’s clear that Reznor is haunted by his past and struggling to find peace in the present.
4. ” Leaving on a Jet Plane” by John Denver
John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane” is a bittersweet song about saying goodbye to someone you love, knowing you may never see them again.

There’s an overwhelming sense of sadness and resignation throughout the clip, making it one of the most downbeat videos ever made.
5.” I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston’s ballad “I Will Always Love You” is generally seen as a romantic love song. But the video for the song tells a different story altogether. It features Houston as a successful singer who is about to embark on a world tour, saying goodbye to her young daughter before she leaves. The look on Houston’s face as she walks away from her child is one of deep sadness, making it clear that this is not just a simple love song but also a heartbreaking ode to motherhood.

The most hopeless rock music videos
Rock music has always had a dark side. For every happy, bouncy pop-punk song about falling in love, there’s an angsty, soulful ballad about a broken heart. And for every feel-good rock anthem about friendship and unity, there’s a crushing dirge full of despair, loneliness, and loss.
But while many rock songs deal with sad themes, not all of them are truly depressing. Some are cathartic and even uplifting; they might make you cry, but they’ll also leave you feeling a little bit better by the end. Others, however, are just plain depressing — the sort of songs that make you want to curl up in a ball and never come out again.
The following is a list of ten of the saddest, most hopeless rock music videos of all time. If you’re feeling down, don’t watch them — they’ll just make things worse. But if you’re in the mood for a good cry (or if you just enjoy wallowing in misery), then these videos are perfect for you.
