Sad and Emotional Songs

[Sonatine]

I'm sure we all have songs that affect us personally for one reason or another.  It could be due to a bad breakup, or the passing of someone close. Many reasons in fact. 

I have quite a few locked up at the dark recesses of my mind, some of which I choose to keep locked away, but there are others that sometimes bring back happy or sad memories. 

The three songs below have mixed emotions for me, mostly with past relationships that went sour, or in Rush's beautifully under-rated "Losing It" the ageing process and that even though we like to think we will live forever that the harsh realities hits us all sooner or later.

 

Anyone else care to share?

 

Bon Iver - Holocene

 

Johnny Cash - Hurt

 

Rush - Losing It

Warren Zevon - Empty Handed Heart. A song which made me cry during two marraige break-ups.

[Nova Carmina]

I think of Deep Purple's "When A Blind Man Cries," or Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."  Depeche Mode's "Never Let Me Down Again" is another one.

Can't go wrong with The Cure.  A preview of things to come for Disintegration.

 

 

An ironically funny video.  Clapton's guitar sounds like it's crying.

 

 

My father is estranged from not just me but my cousins as well so it hits home for me.
