Your favorite sad songs?
(Yes, most of the time it's a wonderful world .. but sometimes it's also ... kind of blue?)
'Just walkin in the rain'...Johnnie Ray...
One of my father's favourites, and played at his funeral...
Interesting choice of a topic title.
My favorite sad song comes from the typically upbeat McCartney; The Beatles' For No One.
Harsh, haunting, and brutally remorseful. Get over her and move on.
The music and instrumentation fit the lyrics so well.
Miss Otis Regrets, Lush Life, Solitude, Good Morning Heartache.
(Down to) Seeds and Stems (Again), by Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen
Harry Nilsson, without you
The other candidates could be:
Yer Blues - The Beatles
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
or the ultimate breakup song
MacArthur Park
The first sad song I remember, Jim Reeves- He'll Have To Go.
Now, there is more than one
Savage Garden - Truly, Madly, Deeply
Paul Robeson - Nobody Knows The Trouble l've Seen
REM - Everybody Hurts
Ella Fitzgerald - any track from Let No Man Write My Epitaph, re-released as The Intimate Ella
In its original context You'll Never Walk Alone
Thank you all for sharing and please excuse the confusing topic title. It got lost in translation. If Richard Dane is reading this, please let me know if it's possible to change the title.
my favourite genre.
For me, and yes, it's weird: Scorpions, "Always Somewhere".
