What's in your opinion the saddest song and why?

For me..Space Oddity by Bowie. The idea of lonely astronaut "Major Tom" in the space and you know he's going to die...

"here today"
song about Lennon by McCartney


"sometimes itsnows in april" and "condition of the heart also reduce me to a puddle of water


and also since i travel a bit and i have a son,

"cats cradle" is always rough for me

"How Do You Mend A Broken Heart" makes me want to slit my wrists.

oh,

and telephone line by ELO

"I Get Along Without You Very Well" NINA SIMONE VERSION. The last note breaks my heart.

Also Kate Bush's "You're the One".
I'd love to hear Prince do this song live!!! With a killer guitar solo.

dont know if its sad intentionally but

"how deep is your love" by pure beauty of melody and lyrics makes me tear up

That melody touches me too. One of my faves by them.

Yeah, nice song.. When we're talking about the melody - Just My Imagination by The Temptations is sad too..

Alone again


Talks about how he cried when his Dad dies. By the end of the song his mother dies

Velvet Eden-LA FIN- Its about a boy who gets turned into a girl by a madame known as madame tarantula(who might be a man as well). Madame makes alice(the boy) become a prostitute like her other daughters. alice loves madame so much 'cause no one has shown her love like madame as. Madame makes alice leave! but alice does not want to 'cause she loves madame and plus madame daughters are going to kill her. Madame knows this and tells her daughter to grow up...

originally in japanese here is the english version of it

The blindfolded girl smiles innocently
Lives without noticing the glaces she receives
after she's let this mirror go
Don't forget...Bedroom manners, how to evaluate men
I trained you in everything you know

Mekakushi no shoujo wa mujaki ni hohoemi
kono kagami tebanashite ato no mezashi ni kizukezu ni iru
nee anata ni beddo no mana- ya otokotachi no
nedan no tsukekata nanka o iroiro to arekore to oshiekonda wa


Listen here! That style of clothes no longer suits you so
Spread your adult wings; you should be able to fly now
I can see you quite well from here so leave, anywhere, disappear, go!
Well.....?

Yoku okiki mou sonna oyoufuku wa niawanai
otona no tsubasa o hiroge toberu hazu
koko de mitodokeru kara doko e de mo kiete oshimai nasai!
saa.....


You were such a homely cry-baby,
A weakling of a girl
But now....
In this town, the work of the returning Venus
Shall I bid my farewell to you.
The next girl awaits my call...
Crying your tears with the brutal nymphomaniac Madam
You run from this street you once came upon
This is how it should be, definitely.
Everything before your eyes runs, blurs
I beg of you, please!
Don't look back
LA FIN...

fusaiku na ijikemushi de mo
yowamushi na onna no ko
demo ima wa....
machijuu ga furikaeru Venus no dekiagari
anata to wa koko de owakare yo
tsugi no ko ga matteru no
hitodenashi kono shikijou madamu to nakinagara
itsuka kita kono michi o hashiridasu
kore de ii no yo kitto
me no mae ga nijindeku nijindeku
onegai yo
furimukanaide
LA FIN...
