Sad songs for toddlers

My toddlers are in a phase in which they like sad songs. Their current favorite is the second verse of "You Are My Sunshine" (the other night, dear/while I lay sleeping/I dreamt I held you in my arms/when I awoke, dear/I was mistaken/and I hung my head down and cried), and now they want more songs like that. I'm not looking for anything too complex or super dark, but I would love to have a few more songs in the same vein. Any ideas?

I had to stop singing "Dream a Little Dream of Me" to our son when he was about three because it made him cry (not because of my singing!).

My girls have loved that song since toddlerhood too! They learned it from one of Elizabeth Mitchell's albums of folk songs for kids, and most of her stuff is quiet and sweet in a sort of plaintive way (she even manages to make "The Ladybugs' Picnic" sort of sad).

Another song that was a favorite at that time was the Beach Boys' "Sloop John B", which isn't necessarily sad, but has a certain tinge of bummer to it. And the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home" is another one they loved, and it's very funny to hear little kids sing it.

OMG, definitely the song from Follow That Bird when Big Bird is painted blue. My sisters and I used to bawl on command when that song came on. It still makes me sad, and it's definitely aimed at exactly their demographic. "I'd Like To Visit the Moon" is also a sort of saddish song. I don't think it's really sad, but it's poignant.

As a small child I thought the second movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony was almost unbearably sad. YMMV.

Oh, and I think "Rainbow Connection" is kind of sad, in a sort of optimistic way.

I remember my parents explaining the context of the end of "I'll be Home for Christmas" ("If only in my dreams") to me -- the concept of someone being away at war and not being able to come home -- to me when I was around that age.

My first thought was Rainbow Connection. Also, Adele's Someone Like You. There's a youtube out there of this adorable toddler singing the words.

As a toddler, I also LOVED Copacabana, which is dark and silly and dramatic but upbeat. ("Her name was woa-wuh. She was a shwoo-guwl... Wiff yeller feffers in her haih and a dwess-cuttown-to-dere!")

Puff, the magic dragon
This made me cry so hard when I was a little girl. And maybe still as a grown-ass woman.

"Clementine" was another sad song I liked when I was little, though the other verses are straight up about Clementine dying. If I had a toddler, I'd let them listen to it, but YMMV.

My three year old likes me to sing "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Love Me or Leave Me" partly, I think, because of the references to loneliness and crying.

By: Michele in California

Also, "Little Drummer Boy". I used to watch the movie every year at Christmas as a child and cry my eyes out. I looked forward to it. But it is also just a song.

The version of "Blue Christmas" in "The Year without a Santa Claus" slayed me as a little kid.

Helen Reddy's "You and Me Against the World" made me sad, because of the "when one of us is gone, and one of us is left to carry on" line. But that death part might be too dark for you.

And Puff the Magic Dragon, still. Still..

My kids (5 and under) like sad Johnny Cash songs. And Shady Grove is our family's all-time favorite (lyrics are not sad, but the tune is ancient sounding). Pancho and Lefty is another good one. We like Eddy Arnold's "Cattle Call" album, too.

You should start them on some poetry.

Little Child was a song that used to make me bawl as a kid.

Tell me, please, Daddy dear
Is the world really round
Tell me where is the
Bluebird of happiness bound

Tell me why is the sky
Up above so blue
And when you were a child
Did you daddy tell you

What becomes of the sun
When it falls in the sea
And who lights it again
Bright as bright can be

Tell me why can't I fly
Without wings through the skies
Tell me why, daddy dear
Are there tears in your eyes

Little one, little one
Yes, the world's really round
And the bluebird you search for
Will surely be found

And the sky up above
Is so blue and clear
So that you see the bluebird
If it should come near

And the sun doesn't fall
When it slips out of sight
All it does is make way
For the moon's pretty light

And if children could fly
There'd be no need for birds
And I cry, little one
Cause I'm touched by your words

Don't be sad, daddy dear
If it's true the world's round
I will search round the world
Til the bluebird is found

Little one, there is no need
To wander too far
For what you really seek
Is right here where you are

Show me where, daddy dear
And here's what I'll do
I will take the dear bluebird
And give it to you

Dear, the bluebird's the love
In your heart, pure and true
And I found it the day
Heaven blessed me with you

Kids don't need sadness, but they can safely encounter a little melancholy. All the media made for kids is completely happy, which is why it feels so cloying and saccharine to grown ups. Kids can safely experience feelings other than being thrilled out of their minds.

"[It's Not Easy] Bein' Green?"

I love this video of David Wechsler (from the essential, and occasionally melancholy Brooklyn band "Pinataland,") singing a lovely lullaby about some brutal killers to a pre-lingual niece. But probably not appropriate for a kid who understands English.

I think it's perfectly healthy for children to enjoy sad music, and luxuriate in the feeling of being sad. I know plenty of small children who are never exposed to anything sad or scary, because there's a cultural moment going on where all children's entertainment is just a little too even-keeled, and I think they're missing out. It's healthy to stretch your emotional muscles before you really need them to process real-life sadness or pain. This is part of why we tell children stories at all.

By: padraigin

padraigin — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 21:41:22 -0800

Exposing wee ones voluntarily to sadness at this stage is kinda unnecessary. Really.

I disagree, I think kids like to roleplay emotions and it's very healthy for them to learn how emotion is expressed in different media.

A lot of kids songs are sad! I was just thinking today about Go Tell Aunt Rhoda and how it made me cry when we sang it in preschool. Also Rockabye Baby, yipes!

I don't remember the Follow That Bird song in particular, but that movie freaked me out so the song is probably sad!

When I was very small my mother used to sing me "Have you ever been lonely" -

Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Who didn't love you

(Weirdly, I just googled the lyrics and they seem to be slightly different: "Have you ever loved someone / the way I love you". Which means my mother's version was... even sadder.)

Funny how some songs get inside you and their effect never diminishes after decades and decades. Is the trigger the music? what brings those strong emotions back to the surface with such immediacy? I would love to learn more about exactly what goes in the ol' noggin when these buttons get pushed.

Five Little Ducks - lyrics/song. Rock-a-bye baby also creeps me out. My husband has a version of Five Little Ducks he is now forbidden to play which has a sad acoustic guitar setting and by the end, the Mama Duck is left alone and It Is Very Sad. You can see a similar youtube video here which I am assured is hilarious but leaves me in tears. The baby just ignores them.

Nthing those early Sesame Street songs Like Somebody Come and Play that had that plaintive quality. Old school Sesame Street didn't feel the need to oversweeten everything and as a kid I looked forward to the occasional cloud in the sky, musically speaking.

Kids want to experience those feelings in a safe way. It's like coming home to a warm, well-lit house when you've stayed outside playing too long and it's getting dark and you're cold and starting to get just a bit worried.The reaffirmation of comfort and security.

"Jolene," Dolly Parton (no, I had no idea what this could mean -- I remember wondering -- but I always had to hear it)
"I Never Will Marry"
"Ghost Riders in the Sky"
"Cool Water" (more unsettling than sad)

Also "The Minstrel Boy," in a version I can't find right now, probably Planxty.

Wooden Soldier by Hank Locklin was one of my favorites as a kid (it was in a stack of my Mom's 45s that I used to play). The rhythm was catchy and the lyrics about a toy soldier being separated from his "girlfriend", a clay doll, used to make me tear up.
