Saddest Song

awh.. I do hope you didn't get robbed.. that'd just be poor..

Yeah, it's really starting to bug me. It happened to a friend of min only about a week ago. Damn e-bay theifs.

Yeah it's pretty dodgy.. I wanted to get a Gryffindor scarf off e-bay.. but I didn't wanna hand over $80 to e-bay

cheers

??? ???

they are not sad. not all of them.

I'd go with Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton...after reading what the lyrics were about, this song has always made me feel sad after I heard it. [/B][/QUOTE]


i would have to agree...that song is very depressing

Sigur Ros stuff can be quite inspiring and uplifting I find.. sure there's some stuff that's heaps sad sounding. But there's a lot of hope there too.

Me and a Gun by Tori Amos breaks my heart

5 am Friday morning
Thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving
Can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I want to live

Got a full tank and some chips
It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants
You can laugh, it's kind of funny
The things you think in times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

Yes I wore a slinky red thing
Does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends, your father, Mr Ed
Was Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And I know what this means
Me and Jesus, a few years back, used to hang
And he said, "It's your choice babe, just remember
I don't think you'll be back in 3 days' time,
So you choose well"
Tell me what's right, is it my right
To be on my stomach
Of Fred's Seville
It's me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina, where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things go through your head
When there's a man on your back
You're pushed flat on your stomach, it's not a classic Cadillac
Me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
