Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
simply one of the most heartbreaking melodies ever written.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

Any new realizations would have to wait until he had more time. More time.
"I don't believe in the existence of angels
but looking at you I wonder if that's true...
if I did, I would summon them together
and ask them to watch over you,
Oh to each burn a candle for you.
make a bright and clear path
to walk like christ with grace and love
and guide you into my arms"

Yeah, I was actually scanning the Boatman's Call to see if I could choose just one song but I can't
Yeah, I was actually scanning the Boatman's Call to see if I could choose just one song but I can't
it's astounding that the Boatman's Call was made by the same guy that did Stagger Lee on Murder Ballads
Are you the one that I've been waiting for is lovely too.

Rockin in the free World from Pinkpop 92 with PJ is the saddest song for me..
Maybe because I had it on my cellphone and listened to it right before I threw up after a little bit much to drink... sad moment...
I liked "Rockin" for the first time now after seeing them playing it in lolla.
I loved it, hated it and now I love it.
It's okay, It's okay
You don't have to run and hide away
It's okay, it's okay
I love you anyway

A stand up soldier to the very end he made the ULTIMATE sacrifice. Give a listen as James Hetfield rips into these powerful lyrics @ Pat Tillman...Disposable Hero. I salute you and your family's grief.....this is as sad as it gets.
"Fighting wars for peace is like fucking for virginity".
Just aint gonna happen in this lifetime!
Disposable Heroes
(Hetfield / Ulrich / Hammett)
Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away
Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman
Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends
Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away
Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman
Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun
Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away
Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman
Back to the front.

Not sure if people consider all these sad. But these were the 1st songs that came to my head at least that are really
emotional.
Nine Inch Nails Something I Can Never Have and Blind Melon Mouthful of Cavities. Which were posted already.
Marilyn Manson- Coma White. Not a huge Manson fan but a
great song I think.
Pearl Jam- I Got Shit and Nothing as it Seems.
Harry Chapin/ Ugly Kid Joe- Cats in the Cradle.
Staind- Epiphany
Stabbing Westward- What Do I have to Do
Nirvana- Pennyroyal Tea. I seen other unplugged Nirvana songs posted but the unplugged version of this song just has so much pain in it i think when you hear Kurt singing. You can pick any song from there MTV unplugged.
Red Hot Chili Peppers I Could Have Lied. Scar Tissue also but to a lesser extent.
Radiohead- Talk Show Host
The Cure- Bloodflowers.
Everclear- Twistinside.
Seven Mary Three- The Water's Edge.
These are more songs that when I listen to them they make me think of sad things. Could be a personal thing.
I was going to say that one but overall it's just average for him. The bridge is heartbreaking though.
Oh we will know,... won't we?
The stars will explode in the sky,..
Oh but they don't,... do they?
Stars have their moments, then they die..
Just okay on Cave's standards, but the way he sings it is just so damn expressive..
My favorite on that album is probabblllyyyy.... Far From Me.
that part is SO good. lyrically it's nothing mindblowing but the melody is beautiful and his singing is great.
"I've sat and I've watched an ice age thaw,
are you the one that I've been waiting for?"
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

Patti Griffin - Cold As It Gets, Kite Songs, Florida
Sleater-Kinney - Quarter to Three
It changes all the time for me. I guess it depends on where you are in your life but Black has been killing me. I have to second Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah and Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. I know Otherside was mentioned but when you throw it in with Sad it's a killer. You can almost feel the guys pain.
