Roger that.

I'm impressed at your courage in even mentioning it.

A couple which we hear and don't listen to.

"Send in the clowns" is when the woman hits rock bottom and sees herself as just another point of laughter by the gods.

"Old Man River" is truly, devastatingly sad, "I'm tired of living, but scared of dying" would be the saddest place of all.

Two good ones, OF. Reminds me of how a former girl singer we had in the band finally really paid attention to the words of "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe" by Lynyrd Skynyrd...she was stunned by how sad the words were...

I remember thinking, "Well, DUH, it's a blues song, right?"
















Then I remember thinking, "Oh shit, I said that out loud, didn't I"

I post nude pictures of myself on the internet, Scotz; I'm not exactly lacking in courage. But that little 4-note riff between verses? KILLS me.

"I walk with my head held high and naked in the sun, claiming these streets for myself."--Jonatha Brooke

Seasons in the Sun gets to me, too. It takes me back to a summer when I was quite young (12/13) when some people I was hanging out with were playing a battered tape of it on an equally battered cassette player. It used to make me cry back then too. A lot of things happened during that summer and I'm only realising now that a lot of those things shouldn't have

We did lots of things when we were young and silly.

Let it go.

After losing my Father when I was pregnant in the summer of 2007, this song is one I can NOT listen to all the way through without just bawling like a baby!

You Can Let Go by: Crystal Shawanda

Wind blowing on my face
Sidewalk flying beneath my bike
A five year old's first taste
Of what freedoms really like
He was running right beside me
His hand holding on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollerd
As I headed for the street

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
it's still a little bit scary
I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go

I was standing at the altar
between the two loves of my life
To one I'd been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked
who gives this woman
Daddy's eyes filled up with tears
He kept holding tightly to my arm
til I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I'm ready
To do this on my own
It's still a little bit scary
I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go

It was killing me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wasting away to nothing
in that hospital room
You know he's only hanging on for you
that's what the night nurse said
my voice and heart were breaking
as i crawled up in his bed and said

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It's gonna be a little bit scary
I want you to know
I'll be okay now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go...



I'm sitting here with tear streaming as I type these lyrics out...
It's been 18 mos now since he passed and it's no better than the weekend it happend.

Even without a frame of reference to relate to it, that ^^^ one still made me tear up a little.

OF - me writing such things is me letting it go. It's how I do things.

Oh how awful, that must have been tough for you Thank you so much for posting this, I just listened to it on youtube and it got me straight in the heart. A beautiful song

Unchained Melody by the Rightous Brothers is one that has always tugged on my heart. While the song is older than the movie, movie Ghost really made it a tear jerker.

It's also one of my favorite songs of all times.

It's always been up there, but it's a tear-jerker of overwhelming love, not sadness. Ghost tried to make it a sad song, but failed (at least for me).

In the early days of the initial release of the album, I played this track over and again as often as I had time to listen. Smoked a lot of good hash as the notes carried us up.

Regardless of which voice covers it, the Clare Torry Studio cut can never be matched. Nonetheless, whomsoever does cover this melody has one of the finest vocal challenges to meet in all of trembling lips of songs! This particular live track of "The Great Gig in the Sky," with Bianca Antoinette is the only one I can find that gets anywhere near the polish in presentation of a fabulous, fantastic vocal performance.

For an instant replay, Backup.

Adage: 2 things are certain in life; Death & Taxes. Therefore; God & Beelzebub had a meeting to fix the problem. A mighty storm prevailed for ages until finally they ended the storm with the agreement: From now on Anyone whom chooses doesn't have to die. "Everyone wins said Beelzebub. You get an eternally grateful bunch of worshippers praying forever for lower taxes as I goad & prod them forever with higher & higher taxation."

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.
