specialk Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Hey all, I was just wandering through my iTunes and noticed I don't have much in the way of sad songs. Any suggestions? Almost any genre is okay (did they ever make any sad disco songs?) Most of what I have in sad is country, no surprise there. But I put Please Call Home in sad because of the minor vibe, even though the lyrics are about hope. So, either b/c of the lyrics or the sound, sad song suggestions, please!
Guest pirateflynn Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Here are a few off the top of my head. The Beatles - This Boy McCartney - Here Today The Stones - Fool to Cry Elton - Goodbye, Come Down in Time, Love Song, Someone Saved My Life Tonight The theme song to .... lol

zorrow Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Sad in which sense? Love? Or just sad? In any case, these are some of the saddest songs that come to my mind: Queen - Nevermore Queen - (have a listen to the too)Queen - Love of my life Queen - (though it's a hope song too there's also a lot of sadness on this one)A couple of classic ones now: The Beatles - Yesterday The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby (it is almost creepy how I think of my aunt Raquel every time I listen to it) Well, at this point you are already in tears, right?
BruceM Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Hiya!Broke Down - Slaid CleavesHey, Slaid is Swirlygirl Sid's cousin. I've met him a few times when he passes through town. He definitely knows sad.Lucinda's got plenty of stuff too. Pineola springs to mind.
cmatthes Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I remember being in first or second grade and all the girls on the playground were singing "Billy Don't Be A Hero", holding hands and crying.
