Saddest song?


Old Hippie

Recommended Posts

Here's a few of mine :

 

The Bed : Lou Reed (from Berlin)

Casimir Pulanski Day : Sufjan Stevens (from Illinoise)

Mon Dieu : Edith Piaf

You Take Away the Sun : Gavin Friday (from Each Man Kills the Thing He loves )

Forget Her : Jeff Buckley (from Grace)

Atmosphere : Joy Division (from Permanent)

 

Add to that just about anything From Dead Can Dance and you've got the perfect soundtrack whilst slitting your wrists.

 

Cheers,

DR, who's generally a happy, cheerfull person.

2 songs bring me to tears and i try and avoid them.

both are connected to the greatest Falang Girl i ever had the pleasure of knowing.

 

Wonderful Tonight-Clapton.

perfectly describes an evening out with the Girl.

 

Nothing Compares To You-Sinead O'Conner.

came out just after we split up and i find it so personal and i just cry whenever i hear it.

 

even after 20 Years i would take her back.............

That is cynical. Do you really think the guy is such a heartless bastard? Why not give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, lots of artists get their inspiration from personal experiences.

 

Now my contender for saddest song: "The show must go on" from Queen, sung by Freddy Mercury when he knew he would bite the big one.

"...That is cynical..."

 

Yes, maybe.

 

"...Do you really think the guy is such a heartless bastard?..."

 

Yes, I do.

 

"...Why not give him the benefit of the doubt..."

 

Why should I?

 

"...I mean, lots of artists get their inspiration from personal experiences..."

 

 

Yes, true, but a big difference between losing your job, getting drunk and arrested, or a break up, and singing about your kid dying. Especially if there is/was some question about your own negligence involved in it.

Oh, I thought the joke was obvious, sorry. I was saying "...oh yeah, how pathetic..." and then saying "...I am pathetic too, because I have my own case like that..." as in we all do. Or think we do. Kind of like saying "..you are so pussy whiped, I better get home before my wife kills me..." Sorry I should have used smilies or something. My apologies.
