Saddest songs you have ever heard?

Two for me -But I shall not weep and I will not cry,
For my young man needs me still.
If someone's watching up above
You'll see how much my dear I love,
So leave him here, I need him now and always will.
Oh if someone's watching up above
You'll see how much my dear I love,
And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well"

The Antlers - Kettering



Hospice is a sad album overall and I don't know which track is saddest, but mentioning Kettering because of how it connected with me.

Two that come to mind:

They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Not that I agree with this statement, but I find it creative and funny, Grumpy ...and no reason to be unfriendly now, siLLypuPPy while The Lemming still owes me an apology.

I don't believe that apologies are of much use unless they are sincere, and that it generally is quite immature to demand one. It's the kind of thing many parents ask of their kids, but not something I have aver asked of mine. I want an apology to mean something; to come from the heart. To owe something commonly implies that one is in someone else's debt, and that there is some kind of an agreement in place.

David, obviously you have a grievance due to a past comment, and you, have referred to it again and again. It didn't even happen in this thread yet you bring it up again here. Speaking as someone with OCD, please try to let it go. Generally it's better to make your point, and then move on if you can. Otherwise consider notifying an admin if you think it's abusive (see link later) -- if it's thought to be abusive, then it is considered better for the person not to engage that individual (and if trolling, well, there's the old adage of not feeding the troll). You comment on people's characters often it seems, commonly even when you were not part of the discussion, but instead insert yourself to comment about manners. Please try to focus more on exploring people's ideas than making comments about their characters and manners. Please try not to take such offence, and if you cant not take offence, please try not to show it. From my perspective, harping on about other's character does not reflect well on one's character. Lots of us have annoyed people, me much more than I would like, and sometimes I have been hurt by other people's comments (as they have by mine), but when people have been critical of me, I generally have reflected on it and seen that they have a kind of point that I could learn from. They might have misconstrued my intent, but it's important how one is perceived by others. Sometimes I have responded back in a quite petty or whiney manner, and regretted it. Whining about such things tens not to be a winning move -- it comes across as pathetic.

Now, to get even more depressing, back on topic.

SO many, I was going to do a Current 93 but will do this now:
