custom55 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) When the news broke that Paul was dead... I was sad.

Rutlefan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Resurrecting this thread as no song had stuck out to me before until I recalled this. The only song or video that has ever made me tear up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) OK, last one. Revisiting Eliott Smith I came across this one. This guy did sad like few others. I had suggested the more upbeat Waltz #2 for one of our wedding reception songs but my wife shot that one down as still too depressing. As an aside, though I've long listened to Smith's music, I only recently discovered that he grew up as a Rush fan (along with the other usual suspects, like Dylan and the Beatles). Not something you normally expect from a an Indie folk rock outsider, though Rush were always outsiders as well, so maybe it makes some sense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqcap3F_bKQ Edited December 3, 2013 by Rutlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Chicago Colour My World always gets to me..... In Junior High it was the first song I ever slow danced to with the fairer sex. Talk about raging hormones... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I thought of another sad song too. Whenever I have asked people if they ever heard this song, most haven't. The song is "Buy For Me The Rain" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was their first hit, and they never sounded like that again. If you google it, you can find it. I would provide a link, but my computer is as slow as anything. How about "Don't Let The Rain Fall Down On Me" by The Critters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a cross between The Mamas and Papas vibe and The Kingston Trio. Without the ladies of course.... :goodone: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Lot of sad (and great) songs mentioned but, unless I missed it, the song that hits me the hardest has not been mentioned yet so I will toss it in.

laughedatbytime Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It's by a religious group, but whatever you think of that, these are some of the saddest lyrics I've ever heard... Mom and Dad are fightin'As Rosie lies there cryingFor once again she's overheardRegrets of their mistakeWith Christmas bells a-ringingLittle Rosie'd leave them grievingThe gift she'd give her familyWould be the pills she'd take An inconvenient childShe wasn't worth their while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
