This is probably in my top three sad songs.

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.. |

Yeah...any song about the loss of a child is as sad as it gets. All of My Love by Led Zeppelin is another one of those... This song by Jason Isbell is a hell of a song. She said, "Andy, you're better than your past" Winked at me and drained her glass Cross-legged on a barstool, like nobody sits anymore She said, "Andy, you're taking me home" But I knew she planned to sleep alone I'd carry her to bed, sweep up the hair from her floor If I'd ****ed her before she got sick I'd never hear the end of it She don't have the spirit for that now We just drink our drinks and laugh out loud And bitch about the weekend crowd And try to ignore the elephant somehow Somehow She said, "Andy, you crack me up" Seagram's in a coffee cup Sharecropper eyes, and the hair almost all gone When she was drunk, she made cancer jokes Made up her own doctors' notes Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone But I'd sing her classic country songs And she'd get high and sing along She don't have a voice to sing with now We burn these joints in effigy And cry about what we used to be Try to ignore the elephant somehow Somehow I buried her a thousand times, given up my place in line But I don't give a damn about that now There's one thing that's real clear to me No one dies with dignity We just try to ignore the elephant somehow We just try to ignore the elephant somehow We just try to ignore the elephant somehow Somehow Somehow |
