Sad songs

[Kiechi]

Weird request, I know but I seem to have a knack for them. At the moment, I have been listening to:

So, any recommendations?

I never heard that song, but I really like it. Anyway, you would probably not like my sad songs because I am old.

I like to think of myself as an open minded guy, try me.

TAVS --- Do you have a link to the video/song?

Here are a few. I don't know that these are all really "sad" (Louis Armstrong) so much as they make me feel melancholy. Anyway, they are all beautiful.

Janis Ian - At Seventeen (1975)

I couldn't find a link to Simon and Garfunkel's Scarsborough Fair (the canticle lyrics are very sad) but I found this:

Are you giving away your age? Not one, but TWO mentions for Simon & Garfunkel!

I hadn't thought of their music as "sad", so much as cynical, social criticism, or even despairing. (A LOT of it probably reflects Bob Dylan, even the material he didn't actually compose.) Especially the "Bookends" and "Sounds of Silence" albums, more than the later stuff.

Clay Walker - Where do I fit in the picture
Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullabye

Nah, that is the music is technically of my mother's generation, but I still love it. Anyway, I think labels such as "despairing" and "social criticsm" sort of implies it is sad. It makes me sad, anyway.



I like a lot of the music of the late 60s/early 70s specifically because of it's social criticism.

Goodbye my lover - James Blunt
You're Beautiful - James blunt (Well I don't know if I can call it a sad song . You can read the lyrics and I decide it yourself)

[Gigabitch]

Tom Waits- Blind Love. Tom's not for everyone, but he works for me.

Patti Griffin- Making Pies

[G-TEX]

Blank & Jones - Fallen

But besides that, everything by Sting
