Death & Tragedy Songs You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

First thing that comes to mind is Linton Kwesi Johnson's work, because some of my favourites of his are elegies. These two are particularly touching - the first written about the death of his father, and the second about a fellow poet who committed suicide.

If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either. | |

Love this song. I respect the 'stay positive' vibe that Stevie generally likes to put across, but it always moved me to hear him express something so raw and desolate as this."There's a loss that can never be replaced, A destination that can never be reached, A light you'll never find in another's face, A sea whose distance cannot be breached..."
