Sad Songs

[VioletReigns]

I'm not a country & western music fan, but this sad ol' country song is pretty good. It's about a man whose lover is leaving him for good. It has a wonderful message toward the end - so listen closely to the meaningful words.

King Crimson - Epitaph

[video=youtube;WWtOz7GVxJM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWtOz7GVxJM[/video]

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh,
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh,
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

I use to have the 45 record of this very sad song. Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun

[shellz1]

Though this has an up-beat rhythm. It's actually a sad song, if you read the lyrics.

Oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah​

You have so many relationships in this life​

Only one or two will last​

You go through all the pain and strife​

Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast​

Oh yeah
And they're gone so fast, yeah
Oh
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there​

And when you get old and start losing your hair​

Tell me who will still care​

Can you tell me who will still care?​

Oh care

Classic sad song from 1968. Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin

Oh my goodness I love the Moody Blues! I saw them numerous times live, also, one of very few that I actually can say that about. Stevie Ray Vaughn opened for them one of the times I saw them.

She's singing My Heart Can't Tell You No by Sara Evans, definitely a sad song, but the baby's reaction might be the cutest thing I've ever seen lol.

Dire Straits - Romeo And Juliet

[video=youtube;4OaTaEX8Kh8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OaTaEX8Kh8[/video]

A love-struck Romeo sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme me a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets they booth were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

I can't do the talk like they talk on TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Julie I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

A love-struck Romeo sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe how about it?

Moody Blues - Lost in a Lost World

[video=youtube;hhNl6wIkVs8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhNl6wIkVs8[/video]

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world

Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation against nation against nation
With racial pride
Sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves

They shun the light (they shun the light)
They think they're right (they think they're right)
Living in their empty shells
Oh, can you see their world is thrashing?
(So many people, so many people)

Crashing down around their feet
Angry people in the street
Are telling them they've had their fill
Of politics that wound and kill
Grow the seeds of evolution
(So many people, so many people)

Revolution never won
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
Let all our brothers youngest sons

Everywhere you go you see them searching
Everywhere you turn you feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
Well, look again; come on, my friend
Love will find us in the end
Come on, my friend
(On, my friend)
We've got to bend
(Got to bend)
Down on our knees and say a prayer

Oh, can you feel the world is pining?
(So many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
With all of us so we can be
An ever-loving family

Have we forgotten who loves who?
(So many people, so many people)

Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
Started long ago when you and I
Were only love...
(So many people, so many people)

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world

Nazareth - Love Hurts

[video=youtube;6pHNkOQCIzk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pHNkOQCIzk[/video]

Love hurts, Love scars, Love wounds and marks
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain

Love hurts, Ooo-oo love hurts

I'm young, I know, But even so
I know a thing or two, I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame It burns you when it's hot

Love hurts, Ooo-oo love hurts

Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue

Love hurts, Ooo-oo love hurts

I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts,
Ooo-oo love hurts
Ooo-oo, love hurts, Ooo-oo
