Is this the saddest song....
....ever recorded?
Now most everyone has heard that song, it is well known. There are a ton of old blues and country songs pretty damn sad, hell....."took a Smith and Wesson and blew out my brains" how about...."he threw carbolic acid in my face".....then there is..."blood, blood, blood, blood"....remember Ruby took her love to town, old Hank was so lonesome he could cry, J.Frank Wilson in "Last Kiss". What is your saddest song? |

River Man by Nick Drake always gets me. Especially considering that Drake committed suicide. One of the most hypnotic songs I've ever heard, too.
EDIT: River Man = the ferryman on the river Styx. Last edited by ShiftyEyedWaterboy; 04-25-2020 at 10:33 PM.. |

This is by far the saddest song ive ever heard. But it requires context. Remember that he's suffering from alzheimer's as he writes this song to his wife. |

I mean if you hate your family or whatever I guess it probably wouldn’t matter too much, but this one hit me square. |

This one still has my vote. Credit to Detoxing. He posted it in another thread. I hadn’t heard it before and just sat at my desk for like 10 minutes doing nothing. Shit hit like a truck.

This was played to death on the radio in the mid 70's
This was one best live performances on Midnight Special, former singer of the Raspberries From Alice Cooper's first solo album, Welcome to my Nightmare in '75 This one is sad for me because the singer Jimi Jamison was one of my favorite singers and died 6 years ago from a heart attack brought on by drugs. My other favorite singer singing one of their most powerful ballads about a broken home Before Richard Harris was a famous actor he released MacArthur Park in '68 written by Jimmy Webb. It has the most unusual lyrics of any song but yet is beautiful and was later a disco hit by Donna Summer. The song speaks for itself A dozen years before Celine Dion stole this song for herself and made a hit, it was released by Jennifer Rush in 1984. I saw her sing this on Johnny Carson one night, had no idea who she was but bought the album the next day. I love almost everything Heart does, I also collect videos and lately I've got over 1,000 tribute bands saved into 3 folders on youtube. I really love this tribute band Heart Attack and their version of Alone performed at he House of Blues in Dallas. I saw the Babys in 1980 and I always liked John Waite's voice I don't listen to much country, I do like Drake White, but this song caught my year about ten years ago. |
