Sigur Ros - Vaka
you can't really understand the words. but you can fully understand the feelings. the emotions evoked through just the melody. this is one of the saddest songs I've ever listened to and there are hardly words to it.

One of the Saddest songs i have ever heard is "How Could I Ever Forget" from Next to Normal

[Sharkell]

It's a tough call but I'd have to say the Sinead version of "Nothing Compares 2 U", that song is wonderful but so sad as well

This is the song from the ending of the Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark".

Surprisingly, this is the saddest ending to a cartoon show (or any show) I have ever seen.

turn down the lights
turn down the bed
turn down these voices
inside my head
lay down with me
tell me no lies
just hold me close
don't patronize
don't patronize me

i can't make you love me if you don't
you can't make your heart feel
somethin' it wont
here in the dark, in these final hours
i will lay down my heart
and I'll feel the power but you wont
no you wont
cuz i can't make you love me
if you don't

i'll close my eyes
then i wont see
the love you dont feel
when your holdin' me
morning will come
and i'll do whats right
just give me till then
to give up this fight
and i will give up this fight

i can't make you love me if you don't
you can't make your heart feel
somethin' it wont
here in the dark,in these final hours
i will lay down my heart
and I'll feel the power if you wont
no you wont
cuz i can't make you love me
if you don't

Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin

[Lefty]

We have a JUBBER that works in a health care facility in a small town. He
is a nice...no..make that super nice guy. I won't name and embarrass him
but several years ago he made my first avatar when I knew even less about
the p/c (yes donnie, it is possible)

Anyway, current country singer Eldredge does a song called

She calls me Raymond...and damn, it makes my eyes water and in my mind,
I picture that song being about that excellent guy. This is a hug for him

(and I don't give a damn if you don't understand...he will)

[Lefty]

Wow,

My last fucking post killed this thread...now that it is Memorial Day Weekend,

I might as well bury it for you Tzu Tzu.

The song has to be

[BENDERBOY]

Sinead O'conner's version of Nothing compares 2 U.

[Thad1527]

Maybe I shared this one before, but probably not. It's good enough to hear again. It was a country top 10 hit in 1990, but I think it's pretty much forgotten. And I LOVE Kathie Baillie's voice.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBzmpj4yFq4[/ame]

And while I'm at it: this song was really a #1 country hit in September, 1988. I NEVER hear it anymore. It's written by out lesbian Cheryl Wheeler, who got award nominations for it. And it was performed by the late Dan Seals, who died im March 2009. There is a YouTube video of Cheryl and Dan performing the song on the American Music Shop TV program, and here it is.

These two are oldies......but if you know the words...

you can be gay or straight or even ambivalent, Jones did 1

and Coulter the other......then they were copied lots of times

but the lyrics can cause pain.

Das Grab ist tief und stille
Und schauderhaft sein Rand
Es deckt mit schwarzer Hülle
ein unbekanntes Land

Das Lied der Nachtigallen
Tönt dicht in seinem Schoß
Der Freundschaft Rosen fallen
Nur auf des Hügels Moos

Verlassne Bräute ringen
Umsonst die Hände Wund
Der weise Klagen dringen
Nicht in der Tiefe Grund

Noch sonst an keinem Orte
Wohnt die ersehnte Ruh
Nur durch die dunkle Pforte
Geht man der Heimat zu

Das Arme Herz hiernieden
Von manchem Sturm bewegt
Erlangt den wahren Frieden
Nur wenn es nicht mehr schlägt





[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8kYy-eiRKU[/ame]



Donnernd braust die Brandung drunten
Wild ertönt der Wogen Schwall
Auf und nieder, hin und wieder
Bäumt und schäumt der Wellen Wall
Auf und nieder, hin und wieder
Bäumt und schäumt der Wellen Wall

Hinter Dünen auf der Heide
Einsam, eingefriedet, schlicht
Eine kleine Friedhofsstätte
Und die dort ruhen kennt man nicht
Eine kleine Friedhofsstätte
die da ruhen kennt man nicht

Namenlose heimatlos
Niemand weiß aus welchem Land
Von der Flut zurückgegeben
Fanden Heimat hier im Sand
Von der Flut zurückgegeben
Fanden Heimat hier im Sand

Nur ein Kreuz und drauf die Nummer
Jahreszahl und Bergungstag
Schmückt das Grab um das die Ferne
Bange Liebe weinen mag
Schmückt das Grab um das die Ferne
Bange Liebe weinen mag

Hier und dort zum Kranz gewunden
Heidekraut und Enzian
Leicht umschwebt von Schmetterlingen
Hängt als loser Schmuck daran
Leicht umschwebt von Schmetterlingen
Hängt als loser Schmuck daran

Eine Möwe sah ich ziehen
Weit hin über dunkles Meer
Und ihr Ruf ein leises Jammern
Kann die Klage deuten wer?
Und ihr Ruf ein leises Jammern
Kann die Klage deuten wer?

Last night, M.I.A. posted a track called "27" on Soundcloud.

She wrote on Twitter, "i recorded this song B4 vickileekx and never put it out. its a unfinished demo." She added, "R.I.P A.M.Y."

On the Soundcloud page, M.I.A. wrote that the track is "dedicated to all my friends that died at 27."

Dedicated to all my friends that died at 27.

LYRIX
= = = = = =
said your all mouth and no brains
all rock stars go to heaven
you said you'll be dead at 27 seven
when we drunk in a English tavern
the owner poured you the Bourbon
and you drunk your self so rotten
so he got so rich he bought a Bentley
and moved himself to Devon

you started dirty dancing
and you bar tended a dozen
i took you to the clinic
to get you clean but you couldn't
said in 2 days ur 27 and and ur destiny was comin
so ur papa passed so sudden
and left you with lil somin

you blew that money on a mountain of drugs
and staged your self a bed in
a month later when i popped in
your still high but the winter set in
i bought you a coffee and a muffin
and you quoted me some Lenin
i wished i was that clever
but thats what kept me coming
your friendship did mean somin
but you left me for nothin
when i left, you befriended a rope
and i saw you both were hanging.
