OT: Songs that make you sad...for whatever reason

[Centerstream]

Is it too soon?

 

[Centerstream]

 

[Blond D.]

TOO SOON?? yeah, i thought we saved the songs till summer

 

[Dogdude]

Eh, it's close enough to summer..

Allright, I guess we are into it, and have the right topic given the circumstances.....

The Fleetwoods sum it all up nicely:

 

[Hoops66]

This one always gets me. And still makes me think of my grandparents.

 

[Hoops66]

Of course this one may be the one...

I could probably fill a couple of pages with tearjerkers by Tom Waits. I had a chat with someone a few days ago ago about this one, so it’s front and center in my head. It’s about a kid from Illinois missing home, about to come home from the middle east.

[Woof 101]

Here is a sad classic...

A personal favorite for not just the love of the guitar. But who the song is addressed to.

I think the original was by Thomas wayne. At least, that's the 45 I bought.

[Aluminny69]

This one really hits home

 

[Aluminny69]

Another sad song for us oldsters

 

[Aluminny69]

From the Depression

 

[Aluminny69]

So many to choose from

 

[Aluminny69]

If anyone could sell a sad song, it was Roy Orbison

 

[Dogdude]

Ok, we're moving on from sad to downright depressing, appropriate given the game.

Interesting pick. I was listening to Sirius XM Hair Nation Thursday and the DJ played Nelson. I think it’s the first time I have heard them on that station. The DJ then discussed the 3 generations of the Nelson family...

I think if I were picking a Ricky Nelson tune I'd go with this:

The Boz man, doing a soft, bluesy, sad, and beautiful cover of his own original:

I'll be long gone
By the time you make up your mind
Gotta make my own way
Around the kind of misery I find...

And yet, I will not skip past it.



If you have time, watch the Young@Heart documentary. Slayed me. And yet, it was uplifting to watch the group learn to sing.

This one gets me on two levels. Richard Farina died at the age of 29, long before I'd ever heard of him, and left two brilliant albums and a bit of another. So I discovered him when he'd left behind 90 minutes of great music and I knew he'd never make any more. Plus this song is just so beautiful, both musically and lyrically. Stuff like this:

And where was the will of my father when he raised his sword on high?
And where was my mother's wailing when our flags were justified?
And where will we take our pleasure when our bodies have been denied?
