insideoutoflove Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Not sure if you mean sad lyrically, or sad in terms of the music...but: "The Lighthouse's Tale" Nickel Creek"One By One" Billy Bragg and Wilco (more of a 'happy sad' if you know what i mean) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lizish Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The Unicorn - Irish Rovers - Gilbert O'Sullivan (seriously, I can barely read the screen now. Yes, I am the World's Biggest Pussy.) anything with a cello and/or french horn. this is equivalent of an ear worm; something that you get in your head and now can't get out. Thanks Tug, Thanks a lot. 'Now looking back over the years,And what ever else that appearsI remember I cried when my father diedNever wishing to have cried the tearsAnd at sixty-five years old,My mother, God rest her soul,Couldn't understand, why the only manShe had ever loved had been takenLeaving her to start with a heartSo badly brokenDespite encouragement from meNo words were ever spokenAnd when she passed awayI cried and cried all dayAlone again, naturallyAlone again, naturally' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 "Song for Adam" - Jackson Browne. This one is really hard for me to listen to. A couple of friends I've lost over the years sort of fit the profile of the subject of the song. "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" - Fairport Convention. Also has the distinction of being one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. Sandy Denny's vocal is amazing. "8:05" - Moby Grape. Heartbreak in five-part harmony. "Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd. Somebody had to mention it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jethro Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Nina Nastasia's All Your Life. They just reissued dogs, the record this is on, I like her first two records the best but the new one is really good too. Richard Buckner's Song of 27. I wasn't a big fan of Devotion + Doubt when I first got it so I chucked it in the stack and picked it up one day and when I pulled it out a few months later I couldn't believe I didn't think it was great to start with. Bah, I'd do more but my connection to the internets is completely f'd up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 "Two Little Boys"- Soulcracker Wake up and tell me you love me, I feel alone Don't die on me now that I've finally come home Stay up all night and kiss me and show me you miss me As much as you said on the phone I feel alone Roll over so I can see you You fill up my eyes Home pulses through me, it's flowing like tides And my future's no brighter than one single sight of you Why don't you go on and shine? Go on and shine I can't believe the things that you need You won't believe that I can succeed This is a deconstruction This is a thorn in my side This is a season of politics turning This is a reason why You never know Prove it to me, that's all that you know You never see all the things that I show This is our deconstruction This is a thorn in your side This is the power of politics turning This is a reason why You never know Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 "Two Little Boys"- Soulcracker When I read that title I really hoped it was a cover of the Rolf Harris song you were talking about. Sadly it wasn't. Two little boys had two little toys Each had a wooden horse Gaily they played each summer's day Warriors both of course One little chap then had a mishap Broke off his horse's head Wept for his toy then cried with joy As his young playmate said Did you think I would leave you crying When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here Jack and don't be crying I can go just as fast with two When we grow up we'll both be soldiers And our horses will not be toys And I wonder if we'll remember When we were two little boys Long years had passed, war came so fast Bravely they marched away Cannon roared loud, and in the mad crowd Wounded and dying lay Up goes a shout, a horse dashes out Out from the ranks so blue Gallops away to where Joe lay Then came a voice he knew Did you think I would leave you dying When there's room on my horse for two Climb up here Joe, we'll soon be flying I can go just as fast with two Did you say Joe I'm all a-tremble Perhaps it's the battle's noise But I think it's that I remember When we were two little boys (In many many ways, it's a crap song, but anyone who doesn't feel a little bit choked up by the last verse is emotionally dead) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 "To Love Is To Bury" by the Cowboy Junkies I buried him down by the river'cause that's where he liked to beand every night when the moon is highI go there and weep openly He and I were marriedBy this river 'neath this willow treeand with God and friends witnessing itHe pledged his life to me To me he was Earthand I rooted in his soilI to he was sky vast and freeof the burdens from which he toiled Then one night a terrible fightWords spoken better left unsaidWith his wedding vows ringing in my earsHe gave his life to me They say to love is to buryThose demons from which we all hideBut tonight by this river 'neath this willow treeBecoming one of Earth and Sky now I'm depressed. thanks alot.

MattZ Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I Miss You by Randy Newman. An absolute gem on an underrated album. I assume most here dont know it. Its about a love from long ago. I read somewhere that his wife wasnt happy about it when it came out. Gets me every time. Every single time. Also, want to reiterate:Remember the Mountain BedIf You See Her Say HelloIt Makes No DifferenceCasimir Pulaski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
