manderlyh Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 We played "Wish You Were Here" at my dad's funeral. It had meaning to me before his death that made me get choked up, so now, even if I don't get choked up, it makes me very thoughtful. "Tears in Heaven" is one that gets me too. It was also played at a funeral--the one of my next-door neighbor, who was a kindergartener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I always thought Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues from the War of the Worlds musical version is the saddest song ever. That said I recently heard "One of These Mornings" by Moby on an episode of Torchwood and I think that comes a very close second. "Hurt" by Johnny Cash/Nine Inch Nails "Downbound Train" by Bruce Springsteen "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak are some others, I could go on forever!

yahyoubetcha Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Love that song esp Carole's original!! Carole? Carole who? 'Without You' was written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger and it was on their first album. Ironically, they both committed suicide, some say because of depression over the success Harry Nilsson had with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW That is depressing After that tidbit, my song about a dawg that falls off a boat is nothing- I think it was Shannon, but I still howl lowly amd my tail stops wagging if I hear it.

Black Dawg Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton Angel by Sarah McLachlan Longer by Dan Fogelberg I think on serious note that knowing how Clapton's son died makes this is very moving song.

Planted In My Mind Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 If you've lived long enough to go through a break-up, then this song can really get to you. It was in the aftermath of a break-up I experienced at 19 that this song really tore me up . "BABY I'M-A WANT YOU" ~~ Bread Thank you so much for posting that, I was so afraid too. I think I wore that album out after breaking up with my first love in 1976. Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul and Mary always does is to me too.

MadScreamingGallery Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm a huge fan of David Lynch and that was an incredibly powerful version of Crying. I love that Lynch chose to have the song sung in Spanish rather than in English... I believe that it added to the drama and the emotion. OT, Spanish is my second language and there are certain things, love poems, for example, that I find much more powerful in the original Spanish language. Ditto ... The most moving version of this I've ever heard was in the movie Mulholland Drive. Rebekah Del Rio sang it accapella (in Spanish) onstage, as the two main characters watched and listened at a late night show. Incredibly moving...please watch... I wanna add this...it's a note to Rebekah Del Rio from Roy Orbison's wife .... about her rendition of Crying... I hope this post isn't overlooked....THIS truly is an incredible, emotional performance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ennio Morricone - Gabriel's Oboe Such a beautiful song, it does indeed invoke powerful emotions. I also love the Pathetique movements by both Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. They ooze pathos, hence the title. I always thought Forever Autumn by Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues from the War of the Worlds musical version is the saddest song ever. That's my choice for saddest song too! And one of the most poignant "break-up" songs ever would have to be Justin's Broken Dream. Actually, I love just about anything he sings, he has such a great "storytelling" voice, if that makes sense. BROKEN DREAM Justin Hayward One more illusion shattered One more broken dream Oh that the morning brings the sun Gone are the days when I could bounce right back again See how the tears roll down Like sweet summer rain Where does it leave me now I find myself so free again Even the smallest traces Of your sweet perfume Open the flood gates and I'm helpless Now as the moonlight shadows Cast across my room Only the whispered words Are heard in the night Only a silent prayer 'I love you still I always will' Out of the dark I stumbled Into the light Only my fear has tumbled I think I always knew That I would run to you Somewhere there's children playing Somewhere far away Running with open arms to greet me Over the hill the sunset Dies and fades away I turn and I close the door With one last goodbye I will return no more I'll take my heart and let it fly Just wanted to say how much I LOVE your sig, TypeO!!

One and Only Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber. This was played at the Albert Hall on the 'Last Night of the Proms' not long after 9/11. I was in Hyde Park for 'Proms in the Park' and the whole place was completely silent, just about everyone was crying. It’s always brought a lump to my throat but even more so now that I associate it with those tragic events. Hey! That is not only an incredibly sad song, but an incredibly hard one to play. I agree that it's extremely sad. Especially the climax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
