September 4Sep 4 No telling where this is going, my goal is songs about death, dying, drug abuse, but I'm sure we get some aggie fight song references. Edited September 4Sep 4 by Litig8r

I don't think of it as particularly sad though. One of those where the lyrics are sad but the music isn't (which could be its own thread lol). Edited September 4Sep 4 by ztejas
September 4Sep 4 Every time we say goodbye, I die a little Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know Think so little of me, they allow you to go When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it There's no love song finer But how strange the change from major to minor Every time we say goodbye When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it There's no love song finer But how strange the change from major to minor Every time we say goodbye

September 5Sep 5 Author Nico, These Days.."Jackson Browne in a movie theater hearing it, "damn, I remember a song like that"
September 5Sep 5 When you're old and lonely You will wish you'd married me I could build a fire for you And bring you cakes and tea When you're cold and hungry I'll be waiting by the phone You can call me up and Tell me how you're all alone... All alone... When you're old and lonely And the rush of life is past Days go by too slowly and The years go by too fast When your golden loneliness is Heavier than stone You can call me up and say "My God, I'm all alone... All alone..."
September 5Sep 5 I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning they'll be gone. When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend I get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversations With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit. And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist. You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag. I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane. And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight So simple in the moonlight

I have a cousin that worked at the Time Out on 155 as a bouncer/dj...he said people would request that song.

September 5Sep 5 It's a cover, but the way Stapleton arranged it... Also a cover, but like the slowed down version better Both of these would hit me pretty hard before I got Sober.
September 5Sep 5 Author I went to see American Aquarium’s lead singer, BJ Barham, do a solo show at The Bluebird in Nashville. He has a song that includes the lyric “pecan pie.” Before playing it, he introduced the song by saying: “Now, before I play this, I know some of y’all are going to say I mispronounced ‘pecan pie.’ But let me explain. When a pecan is on a tree, it’s pronounced pah-cahn. When it’s on the ground, it’s pah-cahn. When it’s sold in a store, it’s still pah-cahn. But the minute you put it in a pie, it becomes a pee-can.” He said he once told that story at a club in northeast Tennessee, and a drunk woman shouted that he was wrong. Her man had her back and said, “Sir, my wife is correct. I’m a professor of English literature at East Tennessee State University, and I can attest—it’s still pah-cahn.” BJ said, “I knew I had one shot, and I took it. I looked at him and said, ‘You don’t have tenure, do you?’” He said the man just sat down. Then he added, “Here’s that super sad song.”

And that’s probably what his demo sounded like that they gave to Tim McGraw to work from. Edited September 5Sep 5 by Pato del Muerto

September 5Sep 5 Anything by Lord Huron really but this one always gets me. This one from Spoon always hits me in the feels as well.
September 5Sep 5 Author Alone Again Naturally another song I didn't pay attention to the lyrics. Thanks
September 5Sep 5 @mdmost, About Today might be the saddest dad song of all the sad dad songs. This is overall one of the saddest albums I've heard, but this is the beautiful, heart-wrenching nadir: I'll add this too, although the video isn't what I got out of the song:
