-seven Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I don't think I've ever made it though this song without tears rolling down my face. http://youtu.be/4Yne1wHgITc Natalie Merchant - Beloved Wife Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RainDogToo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Personally there is a clear winner. The Tom Waits track 'I'm Still Here' from the Orphans box set is sadness absolute. The way I see it the songs relates the story of an old married couple. The woman has tired of romance and the man is feeling empty and unloved'. I'm still in my thirties but I can imagine the old guy in the song and it breaks my heart everytime. "You haven't looked at me that way in yearsYou dreamed me up and left me hereHow long was I dreaming forWhat was it you wanted me for You haven't looked at me that way in yearsYour watch has stopped and the pond is clearSomeone turn the lights back offI'll love you til all time is gone You haven't looked at me that way in yearsBut I'm still here" Ah, nice! Hadn't thought of that one! Oh, and btw, that song is from Alice, not Orphans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This one is pretty incredibly sad: She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorwayWondering how she ever got that wayShe fights her tears away, then prays for no more sorrowWill tomorrow be the same as yesterday She tasted from the tree of life which lead to hungerNow she wonders how she'll ever carry onShe thinks about the life she knew when she was youngerHeaven help her now those days are long since gone She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping next to no oneAnd it's no fun when there's no one's there to seeShe looks down at her feet, "My God, they sure look dirty7:30, time to be or not to be" She cries out, "Won't somebody listen to my storyMournin' glories aren't supposed to happen todayShe wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorwayWondering how she ever got that way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 one should be required to obtain a mental health license in order to listen to Jim James' version of Hot Burrito #1. I can handle it a couple times a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lamradio Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Tears In Heaven is by far the sadest song in history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
