katie_sane Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I think 'Sad Song' by The Screaming Jets fits well into this category. How about a sad song to help me get further down So down like I'm drowning, so down like I'm dying How about a sad song to pull the rug from under me When I was okay, when I was sane, when I found my way How about a warning when the body's already doused And it's ready for burning too late to learn How about a reunion when everybody's gone away They don't want to see you They don't want to find out that you're doing okay Will you be the first one when things get me down Will you be the first one to bring me around Ressurect my sense of believing Cause I sure could use the feeling Got to get a handle, got to climb up another rung I'm tired of being down, I don't want to drown I'm gonna walk, gonna walk, like a walking time bomb I don't want to go off, but I will if I'm forced to run Will you be the first one when things get me down Will you be the first one to bring me around Resurrect my sense of believing Cause I sure could use the feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Gee there's been some great songs mentioned. In The Ghetto would be my pick, but you could also name many Beatles'songs too. Here's some others that bring tears to my eyes. Bright Eyes/ Art Garfunkel, from the animated movie with the rabbits "Watership Down"....when the rabbit dies...... Chorus: "Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly, Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes" Maggie / Foster and Allen, about an elderly couple's love for each other...... Chorus: "They say we have outlived our time Maggie as day did the song that we sung, But to me you're as fair as you were Maggie when you and I were young.....when you and I, were young". Scarlet Ribbons / Harry Belafonte,The Browns,and more recently Sinead O'Connor about a Christmas miracle.......makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up "I peeked in to say goodnight And I heard my child in prayer "And for me some scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for my hair" All the stores were closed and shuttered All the streets were dark and bare In our town, no scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair Thru the night my heart was aching Just before the dawn was breaking I peeped in and on her pillow On her pillow lying there Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair If I live to be a hundred I will never know from where Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons Scarlet ribbons for her hair" SOB.

OLD 55 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 "Mama"/ B.J. Thomas and "Mama"/ Connie Francis - same title, but two DIFFERENT songs. Either one makes me think about my late, dear Mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masoleumrent Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 nah wish you were here is quite uplifting in a funny sort of way, 'The final cut' is quite sad, "thought i oughta bear my naked feelings thought i ouughta tear the curtain down i held the blade in trembling hands prepared to make it but, just then the phone rang (love them bass notes that follow that!) i never had the nerve to make the final cut" - great solo from dave on that too... "don't leave me now" is quite morbid and sad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get it... am pretty fascinated by it. since the whole playlist is arranged chronologically you can actually SEE their transformation from a trashy little garage band to one of the most influential bands ever!!

Batman Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Although I'm not a fan of hip-hop, Eminem writes very good lyrics. Here's a song by him called "Stan" which is a very sad song that tells the story of a deranged fan. This'll take forever to edit! (Dido singing) My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I.. got out of bed at all The morning rain clouds up my window.. and I can't see at all And even if I could it'll all be gray, But your picture on my wall It reminds me, that it's not so bad, It's not so bad.. [Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em but anyways; f*ck it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Bonnie I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry I had a friend kill himself over some b*tch who didn't want him I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan I even got the underground [bleep] that you did with Scam I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man I like the sh*t you did with Ruckus too, that sh*t was phat Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan This is Stan {Chorus: Dido} [Eminem as 'Stan'] Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance I ain't mad - I just think it's F*CKED UP you don't answer fans If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert you didn't have to, but you could have signed an autograph for Matthew That's my little brother man, he's only six years old We waited in the blistering cold for you, four hours and you just said, "No." That's pretty sh*tty man - you're like his f*ckin idol He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein lied to Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way I never knew my father neither; he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her I can relate to what you're saying in your songs so when I have a sh*tty day, I drift away and put 'em on cause I don't really got sh*t else so that sh*t helps when I'm depressed I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7 But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S. We should be together too {Chorus: Dido} [Eminem as 'Stan' in a car] Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans, this'll be the last package I ever send your *ss It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it? I know you got my last two letters; I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive? You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call I hope you know I ripped +ALL+ of your pictures off the wall I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me See Slim; {*screaming*} Shut up b*itch! I'm tryin to talk! Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now Oh sh*it, I forgot, how'm I supposed to send this sh*it out? {*car tires squeal*} {*CRASH*} .. {*brief silence*} .. {*LOUD splash*} {Chorus: Dido} [Eminem] Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she? Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that and here's an autograph for your brother, I wrote it on the Starter cap I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you Don't think I did that sh*t intentionally just to diss you But what's this sh*t you said about you like to cut your wrists too? I say that sh*t just clownin dogg, c'mon - how f*cked up is you? You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling to help your *ss from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this sh*t about us meant to be together? That type of sh*t'll make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy sh*t I seen this one sh*t on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about, his name was.. it was you Damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
