Never thought of "Gig" as a sad song, as such..."moody" & "fuckin' awesome" might have popped into my head. Certainly the only female vocal performance that ever came close to knocking me out as much as Mary Clayton's "rape - murder" squeal/scream on the Stones' "Gimme Shelter" (give it a close listen sometime).

One DSOTM track that does have its sad, or maybe just depressing moments is "Time"...lines like "Ten years have got behind you" & "Hanging on in quiet desperation" seem to capture my darkest fears, even more so as I get older myself.
