I shall have a think!

Aspects Of Love is a fantastic play and yes Love Changes Everything is pretty sad.

The thing that makes me sad too is that every "artist" who "thikns" he/she/they can "sing", sings it when something sad happens to earn money.
The last one that comes to my mind was a bunch of stars singing it as a tribute to the tsunami in Indonesia.

Some Frank Sinatra songs are sad too, like the classic My Way and my FS favourite: It was a very good year. Espically the edited version with the Simon&Garfunkel sound-a-like intro and outro, I forgot who did it.

Meat: FCOL and HCW

Other ones: Like Chris said Hurt by Johnny Cash, shortly before his dead recorded, and Queens/Freddie Mercury´s The show must go on.
The sad thing on this one is that Freddie knew that he would die within a few months and he recorded as many songs as possible togehter with Queen in the short time he had left. And this one is for his band and fans written for the time after his death.
The best version of This one is on Queens Greatest Hits III, a live performance after Freddies Death with Elton John. You can really hear his sadness in the song.

But all in all I agree with Andrew that there are many great sad songs because they´re so emotional.
Meat is one of the few artists who can manage it to sing a not sad song emotional, I think thatswhy I´m a fan

PS: I seem to really like sad songs because I see how much I wrote in this one post...

Also can I add Anything But Lonely, it's sad but she has to learn that Alex has grown and has found happiness with Guliettia, I can't go into the story too much because I'd be here all day but he's in a bit of a triangle, let's just leave it at that!

Forgot the important one...

Unchained My Heart - Joe Cocker

If you think of Meat´s Songs (or in this case Jim, if you like that one better) one of the saddest songs is definitely Left in the Dark

I personally like Jim´s version better, especially with the speech intro. To me he shows the pain more than Meat in that song, and I dont like the guitar overload on WTTN at all too much.

I was just listening today to Warren Zevon's last album - The Wind - recorded when he was in final stages of lung cancer. One of the best and saddest songs on the album - El Amor de mi Vida.

Another song I always find sad is Watching the Wheels - John Lennon. The song itself isn't sad, but that song always makes me think of all the songs John had left in him that we're never going to hear now.

How could I ever for get this one?

Candle in the Wind - Sir Elton John. The version he released following the death of Princess Diana, 'Goodbye England's Rose'...... well, I still find it very difficult to listen to that. How he managed to perform it at her funeral without breaking down, I'll never know.

One of my favourites that I was reminded of yesterday is the bonus track on Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Pill

Would you forgive me, love, if I dance in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love, if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love, if I stay all afternoon?

I took off my clothes, put on your robe, went through your drawers, and I found your cologne.
Went to the den, found your CD's, and I played your Joni.
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon, I shouldn't stay long...

Would you forgive me, love, if I dance in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love, if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love, if I stay all afternoon?

I burned your incense, I ran a bath, I noticed a letter that sat on your desk.
It said hello, love, I love you so, love, meet me at midnight.
And no, it wasn't my writing, I better go soon, it wasn't my writing...

So forgive me love, if I cry in your shower...
So forgive me love, for the salt in your bed...
So forgive me love, if I cry all afternoon...

Recently it was Don't Cry Daddy a virtual duet between Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley, that's the best tribute anyone could ever give Elvis, and it had to be his daughter that did it, it moved me so much how the duet worked with footage from 1970 The Lost Performances and Lisa today, it was just so beautiful and well done.. It made me ball my eyes out!

Chris · 11 Aug 2006, 23:03

I love that song.

**RadioMaster** · 11 Aug 2006, 23:08

Actually not a sad song, but very melancholic:

Boyz 2 Men (or however that´s written)
I´ll make love to you
