Sad songs I'm kinda in a downer of a mood... cause a friend of mine's mother died... so i'd to see everyone's favorite sad song... I'll start
Little girl don't you forget her face Laughing away your tears When she was the one who felt all the pain Little girl never forget her eyes Keep them alive inside I promise to try -- it's not the same Keep your head held high -- ride like the wind Never look behind, life isn't fair That's what you said, so I try not to care Little girl don't run away so fast I think you forgot to kiss -- kiss her goodbye Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall Does she hear my voice in the night when I call Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew I was afraid you'd go away, too Little girl you've got to forget the past And learn to forgive me I promise to try -- but it feels like a lie Don't let memory play games with your mind She's a faded smile frozen in time I'm still hanging on -- but I'm doing it wrong Can't kiss her goodbye -- but I promise to try Promise To Try-Madonna 1989 You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

ill contribute to the sadness.....my boyfriend and i just recently broke up...and im feeling blue all over...this song has been my grief:
My old addiction Changed the wiring in my brain So that when it turns the switches Then I am not the same So like the flowers toward the sun I will follow Stretch myself out thin Like there’s a part of me that’s already buried That sends me out into this window My old addiction Is a flood upon the land This tiny lifeboat Can keep me dry But my weight is all That it can stand So when I try to lean just a little For just a splash to cool my face Ahh that trickle Turns out fickle Fills my boat up Five miles deep My old addiction Makes me crave only what is best Like these just this morning song birds Craving upward from the nest These tiny birds outside my window Take my hand to be their mom These open mouths Would trust and swallow Anything that came along Like my old addiction Now the other side of day As the springtime Of my life’s time Turn’s the other way If a swan can have a song I think I know that tune But the page is only scrawled And I am gone this afternoon But the page is only scrawled And I am gone this afternoon (my sympathies to you and your friend ehuffnsd..take care of eachother during this time!)...

and kd's other sad song ive been listening to a lot of late:
The room in the morning Watching the rain turn to snow But outside my window Sometimes the rain falls harder than you’ll ever know Sometimes the things that you love in the night The morning will choose to forget I have a habit I have been trying to lose Everyone thinks that they know what they want Sometimes your drug chooses you There are some things that I’ve promised myself Things I haven’t done yet It’s my last cigarette This is my last cigarette Sometimes the people you love in the night The morning will choose to forget This is my last cigarette My last cigarette This is my last cigarette My last cigarette (strangely, i think this song has made me start smoking again..lol) Space for sale... | |

The entire "Bitter" album by Meshell N'degeocello I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back. I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there. I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish. And I am | |

Billy Bragg
"The Price I Pay" My friend said she could see no way ahead And i was probably better off without you She said to face up to the fact that you weren't coming back And she could make me happy like you used to But i'm sorry to say i turned her away Knowing everything she said was true And that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do There's something inside that hurts my foolish pride To visit the places we used to go together Not a day goes by that i don't sit and wonder why Your feelings for me didn't last forever Girl i love you so much that sometimes it's such I'd walk a mile with a stone in my shoe And that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do That's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do So keep that phone out of my way for the things i must say Are empty if you don't believe they're true And that's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do That's the price i pay for loving you the way that i do | |

Round Midnight - Thelonious Monk
It begins to tell, 'Round midnight, midnight. I do pretty well, till after sundown, Suppertime I'm feelin' sad; But it really gets bad, 'Round midnight. Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories, When my heart is still with you, And ol' midnight knows it, too. When a quarrel we had needs mending, Does it mean that our love is ending. Darlin' I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart, and I'm out of my mind. Let our hearts take wings' 'Round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing, for your returning. Till our love is safe and sound. And old midnight comes around. Feelin' sad, really gets bad Round, Round, Round Midnight Combine these lyrics with the haunting melody and you got yourself a melancholy time for sure. (Currently hooked on a Sarah Vaughn rendition) tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm [Edited 12/22/04 12:14pm] "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

Hell, yes. no way.....Dont forget "grace" and "may this be love" are on there..... "grace" leaves the album on such a wonderful redeming high not that i suspect that album might not be considered a classic without it....it gives one hope...that after all the heartache and pain...you can still find joy.....

Well, the "Bitter" album largely constitutes somber material. Hence, it's namesake. But there are some uplifting/life-affirming gems on there like the ones you've mentioned. When I'm in a down-and-out mood, I spin that album incessantly. Very purging. | |

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears. Buckets of moonbeams in my hand, I got all the love, honey baby, You can stand. I been meek And hard like an oak I seen pretty people disappear like smoke. Friends will arrive, friends will disappear, If you want me, honey baby, I'll be here. Like your smile And your fingertips Like the way that you move your lips. I like the cool way you look at me, Everything about you is bringing me Misery. Little red wagon Little red bike I ain't no monkey but I know what I like. I like the way you love me strong and slow, I'm takin' you with me, honey baby, When I go. Life is sad Life is a bust All ya can do is do what you must. You do what you must do and ya do it well, I'll do it for you, honey baby, Can't you tell? From the master - Bob Dylan | |

I want to cry just reading these lyrics alone:
"1000 Oceans" composed by Tori Amos These tears I've cried I've cried 1000 oceans And if it seems I'm floating in the darkness Well, I can't believe that I would keep Keep you from flying And I would cry 1000 more If that's what it takes To sail you home Sail you home Sail you home I'm aware what the rules are But you know that I will run You know that I will follow you Over silbury hill Through the solar field You know that I will follow you And if I find you Will you still remeber Playing at trains Or does this litte blue ball Just fade away Over silbury hill Through the solar field You know that I will follow you I'm aware what the rules are But you know that I will run You know that I will follow you These tears I've cried I've cried 1000 oceans And if it seems I'm floating in the darkness Well I can't believe that I would keep Keep you from flying So I will cry 1000 more If that's what it takes To sail you home Sail you home Sail you home Sail Sail you home | |

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday
Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees. Pastoral scene of the gallant south, The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth, Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh. Here is fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop. No music is even necessary for this one. tA Tribal Disorder http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn.

Box Of Rain (Phil Lesh/Robert Hunter)
Look out of any window , any morning , any evening , any day Maybe the sun is shining Birds are winging or Rain is falling from a heavy sky What do you want me to do...to do for you to see you through? For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago Walk out of any doorway , feel your way, feel your way like the day before Maybe you'll find direction around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you What do you want me to do, to watch for you while you're sleeping? Well, please dont be suprised when you find me dreaming too Look into any eyes you find by you, you can see clear to another day Maybe been seen before through other eyes on other days while going home What do you want me to do...to do for you to see you through? For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land Maybe youre tired and broken your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear What do you want me to do...to do for you to see you through? A Box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through Just a box of rain , wind and water Believe it if you need it If you dont , just pass it on Sun and shower , wind and rain In and out the window , like a moth before a flame And it's just a box of rain I dont know who put it there Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare And it's just a box of rain or a ribbon for your hair Such a long long time to be gone and a short time to be there..... As performed by The Grateful Dead , written in 1970 about the impending death of Lesh's father [Edited 12/22/04 16:30pm] "...all you need ...is justa touch...of mojo hand....." | |

Up in a sterilized room
Where they let you be lazy Knowing your attitude’s all wrong And you got to change And that’s not easy Dragon shining with all values known Dazzling you-keeping you from your own Where is the lion in you to defy him When you’re this weak And this spacey... So what are you going to do about it You can’t live life and you can’t leave it Advice and religion-you can’t take it You can’t seem to believe it The peacock is afraid to parade You’re under the thumb of the maid You really can’t give love in this condition Still you know how you need it They open and close you Then they talk like they know you They don’t know you They’re friends and they’re foes too Trouble child Breaking like the waves at Malibu So why does it come as such a shock To know you really have no one Only a river of changing faces Looking for an ocean They trickle through your leaky plans Another dream over the dam And you’re lying in some room Feeling like your right to be human Is going over too Well some are going to knock you And some’ll try to clock you You know it’s really hard To talk sense to you Trouble child Breaking like the waves at Malibu "Trouble Child" - Joni Mitchell | |

When I was eight I had a friend
with a pirate smile make believe and play pretend we were innocent and wild hopped a fence and slammed the gate running down my alleyway in time to watch Sally's pigeons fly We loved to watch them dive and soar circle in the sky free as a bird from three to four and never knowing why neighbors pulled their wash back in put away my Barbie and Ken look out overhead while Sally's pigeons fly I had a fool's confidence that the world had no boundaries but instincts and common sense come in different quantities my heart began to skip to the beat of the boy next door she had her eye across the street on someone shy and tall we lived our dreams and challenged fate in tears she told me she was late and Sally let his pigeons out to fly... On the dresser sits a frame with a photograph two little girls in ponytails some twenty one years back she left one night with just a nod was lost from some back alley job I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly she never saw those birds again and me, I can't remember when a pirate smile hasn't made me cry I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly...

Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters Took their toll Where did you go? And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singing psalms on a Sunday (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet Her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... Come to save her soul... Come to take her home 'Cause it's late and past Your bedtime Well past bedtime Angel My angel Fly over me Angel... She took her life Within her hands She took her life Within her own two hands And no-one can tell her What to do now And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singin live from Las Vegas (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet Her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... Angel..
