    i make a difference between sad (asin making me feel sad) and songs that have a sad well played out topic.

    Songs that make me sad are "Strangest Tribe" and "Thumbing my way to Heaven"... i dont like listening to them much... too moody

    Songs that I love and find wonderfully sad are "Tremor Christ", "Immortality" and "Nothing as it seems" ... but thats off the top of the head. I'm sure there are more.

    For me the saddest song is Release.
    When Ed talks about waiting up in the dark, for "him' to speak to him.

    AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
    Emotion overload, boo hoo!

    I'm with you on this. Footsteps is one of the most gut wrenching songs I've ever heard. For me, comeback and even thumbing my way are sad songs, but not as simple and painful in my opinion.

    Release is also sad to me, but it has brought new meaning lately.

    Same thing with Save You.. but I think of that as a sad song because of my perspective.

    Can't believe its only been mentioned once.

    Arc

    As far as intent and meaning behind a song, that is the saddest song IMO.

    I think we've all been there before brother. You're right that song has to be in the discussion.

    Okay I am ignorant of the intent and meaning behind that song. Can someone explain?

    I would say for me it's Release, Long Road... Come Back is close but it's still so new that I try not to be too "hasty" in my accessments of the newest songs.

    When Ed was trying to write a song about the Roskilde Festival tradegy (where 9 fans died in the pit) all he could come up with to express his feelings was Arc.

    Also it has only been performed 9 times.....and probably will never be again.

    he refers directly to the same drama in Love Boat Captain. So he came up with more

    this Arc is something heartfelt by him. I think there's no need for us to truly understand his specific emotion there. Or the bands for that matter.

    Other Side, Black, and especially LIGHT YEARS - the live Pinkpop 2000 version is incredible (the one he dedicates to Diane from Sony)

    oh and I forgot All Or None. All or None is very sad and very incredible.

    Sad really had an impact on me, as well as Come Back, Black, Strangest Tribe, and Last Kiss, but Last Kiss wasn't written by him, so technically, it doesn't count. But it's still extrememly sad, especially when you accidentally start to visualize it.

    Black, Man of the hour, Immortality and Parting ways.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    Strangest Tribe. It's not so much the lyrics as it is the way it is sung.
    And then of course Black. That song is just plain old sad.
