What are some good sad songs? Musically and lyrically? Songs that will make me think etc. but have an underlying sadness. http://youtu.be/TnMMWledtZ8
I enjoy these and find them both extremely powerful in the right (or wrong) mindset. This first one I actually found here on HipForums. Recorded (masterfully) in 4k resolution. I will warn you, The 'Portugal The Man' track does have a music video, but I mentioned a warning because their music videos are all rather very strange and a bit gorey. I like a lot of their studio recordings though. I don't know if I could sing that song without struggling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGbNRNbQN4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiBlcY9HXKY
I met this dude while on lunch at the set up of his show....I asked him how he was and he said ''swingin''.....I thought it was cool and I say it now too ....at a friends dads wake his mom got drunk and slow danced by herself to this song for at least a dozen times in a row...song is huge for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvvX5QM4z3Y
This is the one being played at my Funeral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pxEKfEBOWM&feature=youtu.be
"Poignant" is perhaps more accurate than "sad" for this first song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVCdAIMdoxs My second offering is a sad/poignant performance of Goodnight Irene by the Weavers. It was a big hit for the Weavers in 1950. This performance was in 1980, only a few months before Lee Hayes died of diabetes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLvk-qsKonQ
As one gets older - Be it the young fresh Hippie, the Rebellious Punk , the Bohemian New Romantic ,,, etc produce a Melancholy muse that one only perhaps appreciates with the passing of time and "In the glass, I saw a strange reflection ..." rings true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KODZtjOIPg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_pfnLybgCY "Love has never shown his face since the day you walked out that door - You filled my life with empty space Come back"
