[zunkian]

Though I'm not a Mariah fan, this is her only song that I really liked. The rest are all crap. This song just hits me right in the gut! Heart-wrenching I should say.

Mariah Carey - So Blessed

M.I.A. - 27

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea_7re9nv7c[/ame]

An unfinished demo MIA recorded before Vicki Leekx
Dedicated to Amy Winehouse

LYRICS:
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.

You Lost Me-Christina Aguilera

one of the most underrated and saddest songs ever

[ShihTzuTylenol]

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hands
there's no street light near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away and she's gonna get a hit
She hates the life and what she's done to it

Now there's one more kid that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love
....never get to be cool
KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD!

[Lefty]

Not the saddest but surely one that evokes

serious melancholy for me, would have to be

(Ghost) Riders in the Sky, written by Sam Jones and
done by damn near everybody who is anybody.

or its bastard child, a sort of bio of Jim Morrison,

the Doors...Riders on the Storm

[Elvin]

Not sure if I posted this or not but it makes me cry easily.



I can't believe you love me

[w0lvielon]

This song gets me everytime.

I thought we'd be simple together but i was sadly mistaken.

[pmgunnerxx]

Sorry if this has already been posted (I couldn't get through ever page of this thread) but as someone who grew up super close to his grandmother and than having her pass away (its been 11 years) this song just totally captures what I feel about my grandmom. Heck before my grandmom passed I used to hear this song and cry just thinking about the day she would be gone.

Home Alone - Gladys Knight

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbncTv3fWw8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbncTv3fWw8[/ame]

[pmgunnerxx]

Home alone is another good one

[Lefty]

Many Gay People seem to think they are above Country Music.Pity. Some of the writer/performers are true artists.

The depth and feeling of this song,

Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine

lyrics both written and sung by Mr. Tom T. Hall,

is not a tear jerker by this threads standards...

just one of the most melancholy ever produced.

Celi Bee - For the Love of my Man

[Cynical]

My Immortal.

[justdra]

I don't have anything against country music, just not a big fan. I have my fav but its old stuff. Loretta Lynn is the Queen and enjoy her stuff and her last cd with Jack White was great. Miss Being Mrs was a touching song.

Morphine- The saddest song

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf6x07K4KQA[/ame]

[Lefty]

Yesterday
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.

I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.

Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.
Sponsor
It's finally here...

[Flash]

Ignore the opening chat if you will, but listen to the song. I miss Harry Chapin so much, even though he makes me cry every time I hear some of his songs.
