Songs about love and loss

[Ozimoto]

So while digging through the Everly Brothers catalog, I came across this haunting song that inspired this thread topic.

Not sure if this fits... heard this song this afternoon on my way to get some lunch

I'm sure I'll think of some others, this is the first thing that popped into my head.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Plenty of artists have done this song. I like this version.

I didn't listen to the first song before I jumped in. Not sure if someone needs to be dying or already dead, but there are plenty of those.

Never Gonna Fall in Love Again by Eric Carmen, Could've Been by Tiffany, The Circle is Small by Gordon Lightfoot, Torn Between Two Lovers by Mary MacGregor, Don't Give Up on Us by David Soul, Over You by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Just When I Needed You Most by Randy VanWarmer, Two Out of Three Ain't Bad by Meatloaf, and The Last Song by Edward Bear. If someone can instruct me on how to post a video clip of a song, I would appreciate the help.

Dangit, I found a great live version but the link doesn't work. Oh well, here's an audio only recorded version. Still lovely and heartbreaking.

"Your answer was goodbye, and there was even postage due." Love it!

Good example of lyrical dissonance. The words are sad, but it sounds so upbeat and happy.
