Kind of links in to Rememberance Day as I heard it today... but Waltzing Matilda by The Pogues gets me every time. Heard the Joan Baez version today. Such a sad song. Heres the link if you want to to know what I am talking about.

"If I could be where you are" by Enya!

Reduces me to a blubbering wreck each time I hear it!

The album it comes from was released the week my Father died 6 years ago so it has strong family connotations.

Saw him at Wembley a short while after the accident. He played Wondeful Tonight then Tears in Heaven....80,000 people on the verge of tears. Stage went black as he finished the song. the he launched into layla... incredible how your mood can change in a few seconds with the help of music

It was amazing an amazing concert. It was a double bill at the old Wembley. Elton John did a 2 hour set, then Clapton came on and did the same. Clapton really was fantastic, one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Elton john? Fat bloke at a piano, glad I did not see just him.

I see a couple of posts about Two Little Boys, I used to cry my eyes out as a kid when I heard that. But then I used to get upset with Worzel Gummidge singig 'I'm only scarecrow'

Lately by Stevie Wonder. No matter how happy I am if I hear that song I feel sad and maudlin, I always have from the first time I heard it. No broken heart, no lost love, the song just....I don't know, haunts me.

Dance with my father by Luther Vandross makes me sad too. I had it on my iPod when I was driving pass the Tesco in Brixton where my parents used to go shopping hand in hand.

They weren't the best parents in the world but I did find myself tearing up remembering them.

well ill be greedy, and ill have 5

1.Fiona Apple doing Elvis Costellos I Want You, all about the desperation of falling out of love.She gives every ounce of her soul in this performance

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiOmhOumh-w

2. Mazzy Star`s -"into dust", the stillness just overwhelms you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptxZwwfQj9c

3. Airbourne Toxic Event`s- "sometime around midnight".....it shadows a moment in my life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG7LvRC12Jo

4. Indigo Girls- "ghost", because all sad songs should be full of yearning

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG7LvRC12Jo

5. Sia_ Breathe Me, always a tune that turns most of the crowd into wrecks at any of her gigs,its the cracked voice at the beginning that sounds so vunerable,and then a year later one of the great tv series,six feet under, came to an end, and they moved time forward with all the characters, with breathe me playin...this just destroys me, everytime

The Eric Bogle original of "And the Band played Waltzing Matilda" is the best and most meaningful, and the other great song is "Raglan Road". I'm just an old folkie!

I'm in.....

Obviously most sad songs are personal to the individual, so rather than list my own without the benefit of providing an explanation of the circumstance which cause them to expose my own sorrow …. so I won’t give my list!!! cuz I don't feel the need too do that on here!

However

Gloomy Sunday must surly be a strong candidate for the saddest song ever ( A swift Google search will reveal the reason, if you don’t already know)

And

The Album “ Mirror Ball “ by Sarah Mclachan contains many tracks, which transport a willing listener to a sentient location engulfed in wondrous melancholy born from the pain of another.

But for me, there is one random song, which never ceases to wrench the heart from the chest rendering me a blubbering wreck, this is Chris Rea’s - Tell Me There’s a Heaven…

A much underated album..The version of Parson's 'How much I lied' is fantastic.

While we're on the subject or Costello..'The Delivery Man'. Simply a wonderful beautiful album,especially 'Either side of the same town'
