Songs of Grief and Solitude (Ukrainian Пісні Скорбти і Самітности, Pіsnі Skorbti і Samіtnosti) is the fifth album by the Ukrainian black metal band Drudkh, released in 2006 (see 2006 in music). It marks a radical departure from previous Drudkh works in that all songs are entirely acoustic, arranged in the manner of traditional Ukrainian folk. Several songs contain elements of previous Drudkh material: "Tears of Gods" contains elements of "False Dawn" from Forgotten Legends, "Archaic Dance" contains elements from "Glare of 1768" from The Swan Road, "The Milky Way" is a rearranged version of The Swan Road's "Eternity," "Why the Sun Becomes Sad" contains elements of Autumn Aurora's "Sunwheel," and "The Cranes Will Never Return Here" contains a riff from Blood in Our Wells' "Solitude."
