"Tears In Heaven" from Eric Clapton. It was a depressing song to begin with. Now I can't listen to it. The day my grandfather passed away in 1992, I turned on the radio to cope some. What was the first song I heard? That.
The Green Fields of France. About all the young men who died for no reason in World War 1. It tugs at my heart
Actually. I thought it was a sneaky happy ending. He killed the POS emperor and went to be with his family in the afterlife . Beautiful story.
Exactly Runner.. Sort of a double edged sword, happy with his triumph, sad at what happened to all of his family and himself. All told, I really loved it. Long live "the Spaniard" in the hearts of the people.
Not a band typically associated with sad music, but I was touched by this song. The singer, Yolandi, was adopted as a baby so it’s a very personal song on her part.
