The saddest songs

[HuxleyPigsSuitcase]

After going down a You Tube rabbithole this evening, I've just watched Judi Dench performing Send In The Clowns and I've never felt so desolate. Do you have a sad song that just gets you in the feels? I fear I may never be the same again!

Get here - Oleta Adams

The Frays - how to save a life

Sorry if anyone has said this but "Old Shep".

For Crying Out Loud - Meatloaf

I love that too @ParkheadParadise.
Jim Mc Cann has such a lovely voice.
He too died too young.
Have you heard him sing "Easy and Slow" ?
It's beautiful.
Rod Stewart did a version of Grace but Jim's is better imo.

Ditto to Eric Clapton’s about his little boy.

Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle

Dustland Fairytale by the Killers. Written by Brandon Flowers about his mum dying of cancer. I discovered it when my mum was also dying of cancer.

it just captures the arc of a life so well - young love, growing older together, the devastation of cancer on the sufferer, the desperation of the relatives they leave behind etc

We grew up listening to Jim Mccann & the Dubliners. Grace was my dad's party piece 🤣
I'm not keen on Rod Stewarts version. Both my dd's could sing Grace from when they were toddler's.

'This woman's work' by Kate bush and Eric Clapton's 'tears in heaven' - I can't even listen to them in full..
