What's the saddest song you know?

Go Rest High on that Mountain - Vince Gill/Patty Loveless/Ricky Skaggs

"Danny Boy"- old drinking song

"Cut" by Plumb

ninerbuff

"Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan. A guy is left at the altar, he considers suicide, then his father dies and his mother dies. Brutal. It really grabs me every time I hear it.

Yep. I posted the lyrics in an earlier post.

Another Bonnie Rait song "one part be my lover"

KILLS me. Just SLAYS me.

Even though about getting back together still is sad.

Journey

Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heart with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

I wish I had the ability through music to touch a persons heart,it is an incredible gift.

I agree. I used to be a good writer before I stopped and I would do poetry readings at this night club for young people I made so many people cry lol with the poetry readings. And then in 8th grade I did a poetry reading to the school and teachers were crying and parents were crying ahahaha i just made everyone cry =/ lol but i love that the emotion got to them.
