What is the saddest song ever?

[bigcumba]

Only 3 stars though... would have been a 5 star classic but that's what happens when you bring that whiny git James Blunt into it (Sam) :wink

[samantha1303]

I think he's superb

[Fadetoblack]

I hate him.

[bigcumba]

I hate him more than that :D (Sorry Sam - every time I hear him I'm reminded of chalk screeching down a blackboard)

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions might change your opinion slightly (OK - but not by much!). The unplugged rendition of You're Beautiful is actually one of my fave tracks now!

[samantha1303]

I have seen him live 4 times and he is excellent.
However I am not sure he can follow up such a fantastic album.

[Street cry]

[jonahjones]

Shed Seven - Chasing Rainbows

REM - Endgame

[jonahjones]

Enrique Iglesias - Hero

Bros - Sister.

Not at all a Bros fan but I remember listening to this song when it was released and learning that the brothers Goss had written it following the death of their young sister in a car crash.

[samantha1303]

It certainly is :)

Classic track.The Killing of Georgie.

In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a friend of mine

[samantha1303]

Todays choice for me -
Rolling Stones - Fool To Cry

[John]

Some classic songs mentioned here especially One by U2.

I was on the train home from Meadowhall today listening to the new Snow Patrol album. Chasing Cars got me all melancholic and weepy. What a song.

Another Roy Orbison one: Mystery Girl

Some great lines in it:

Night falls i'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven's torn to hell
Am i left to burn
And burn eternally
She's a mystery to me

[bigcumba]

Another Roy Orbison one: Mystery Girl

Oh yeah, that whole album was a classic! The big 'O' had the perfect voice for sad songs.... "It's Over"... "Crying" etc... was really sad when he died so young, and just hitting the top again with his solo stuff and the Travelling Wilburys..

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Been a while since I nominated one, but when it's the record that reminds you there's a Sad Song thread, it deserves at least a mention!

So, today's offering is Silent All These Years - Tori Amos.

[sparkyminer]

Just heard Atmosphere by Joy Division again.
What a cracking dark song.:)
