Sad songs

---

What do you think are the saddest/most heartfelt songs?I know I think winter by Josh Radin is the saddest..!

MacArthur Park: ( Richard Harris )"I don't think that I can make it 'caus it took so long to bake it"actually, I don't do sad songs... don't need the bring-down. Now, if you want to talk angry songs... I'm your man!!

Lover You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley"It's never over,She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever."

Letters From Home - John Michael Montgomery

I ball my eyes out everytime I hear a song about the soldiers.

Under the Bridge - RHCPs "Under the bridge downtownForgot about my loveUnder the bridge downtownI gave my life away". Was played at my brother's funeral (suicide). It makes me want to cry every time I hear it.

Altho Jeff has been mentioned, I just love Hallelujah. It is just a brilliant, beautiful song and always gets to me. I don't cry tho...

I Aint No Nice Guy by Ozzy OsbourneTears in Heaven by Eric Clapton

He writes many sad songs, but one of my favorites of his is Georgia Lee.
Since nearly noone in the world knows who the hell Tom Waits is...

Cold was the night, hard was the ground
They found her in a small grove of trees
Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
She's too young to be out
On the street.

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Lee?

Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia
From dropping out of school
I was doing the best that I could
But she kept runnin away from this world
These children are so hard to raise good

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Lee?

Close your eyes and count to ten
I will got and hid but then
Be sure to find me. I want you to find me
And we'll play all over
We will play all over again

There's a toad in the witch grass
There's a crow in the corn
Wild flowers on a cross by the road
And somewhere a baby is crying
For her mom
As the hills turn from green back
To gold

Why wasn't God watching?
Why wasn't God listening?
Why wasn't God there for
Georgia Lee?

Not to mention Fumblin' With the Blues,I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You (my personal favorite of al of Toms songs I think),House Where Nobody Lives,Please Call Me, Baby,Swordfishtrombones,and more that iM too lazy to type out since I also need to mention another classical composer noone know but knows his music Warren Zevon Who made classic heart break songs like Heart Ache Spoken Here,Keep Me iin Your Heart,Don't Let us Get Sick,Searching For a Heart,Reconsider Me,Jeannie Needs a SHooter,Hasten Down the Wind, Tenderness on the Block,and Veracruz.
Look what you did .... naming only a handful of songs from two artists that do not even begin to cover the great sad songs and you made me write a essay....

Helms had my idea Ozzy See You On The Other SideMy funeral song as well.

"Because of you" By Kelly Clarkson depresses me. Hits a little to close to home.

im with ya.
