Re: Songs that are almost too sad to listen to
I still get choked up reading the lyrics to "Old Folks". Anyone with older parents/grandparents should able to relate.
The old folks don't talk much They talk so slowly when they do They are rich they are poor Their illusions are gone They share one heart for two Their homes all smell of time Of old photographs and an old fashioned song Though you may live in town You live so far away when you've lived too long Have they laughed too much Do their dry voices crack talking of things gone by have they cried too much A tear or two still always seems To cloud the eye They tremble as they watch the old silver clock When day is through tick tock oh so slow It says yes it says no It says I wait for you The old folks dream no more Their books have gone to sleep the piano's out of tune the little cat is dead and no more do they sing on a sunday afternoon The old folks move no more Their world become to small their bodies feel like lead they might look out a window or else sit it a chair or else they stay in bed and if they still go out arm in arm, arm in arm in the morning chill its to have a good cry to say their last goodbye to one who's older still and then they go home to the old silver clock when day is through tick tock so so slow it says yes it says no it says I wait for you the old folks never die they just put down their heads and go to sleep one day they will hold each others hands like children in the dark but one will get lost anyway and the other will remain just sitting in a room which makes no sound it doesn't matter now the song has died away and echo's all around you'll see them as they walk through the sun filled parks where children run and play it hurst to much to smile it hurts so much but life goes on for still another day as they try to escape the old silver clock when day is through tick tock oh so slow it says yes it says no it says I wait for you the old old silver clock thats hanging on the wall that waits for us all

Re: Songs that are almost too sad to listen to
Wow. I agree w/ a TON of these songs. Danny Boy especially as they played it at my grandfather's funeral, then did the 21 gun salute what a powerful thing.
Sia - Breath Me (I have felt this way SO many times) Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before I Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small I'm needy Warm me up And breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found, Yeah I think that I might break Lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small I'm needy Warm me up And breathe me Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small I'm needy Warm me up And breathe me Fiona Apple - Love Ridden (listened to it non stop after last break up) Tori Amos - Winter Portishead - Undenied Man, I'm an angsty chick.

Re: Songs that are almost too sad to listen to
"Ruby" by Kenny Rogers and First Edition. What's so great is that if you listened to just the music, you'd never guess it was probably the most depressing song I've ever heard.
You've painted up your lips an rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere? The Shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down -Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town Its hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralysed And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby I realize, But it won't be long i've heard them say until I'm not around Oh Ruby Don't take your love to town It wasn't me that started that old crazy asian war But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be... Oh Ruby I still need some company. She's leavin' now 'cause I heard the slammin' of the door The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground Oh Ruby For god's sake turn around
