Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

the entire side 2 of Renaissance "Turn of the Cards" would qualify I think Everything by the wonderful group "Asia Minor", although the second album was from 1980 and the third one from this year! I'll think of some more for sure |

Most songs by Nick Drake, especially when you know of his ultimate demise. Not just Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens but also Mona Bone Jakon, which contains Trouble, Fill My Eyes and Lilywhite ....3 of his best sad songs Also Look Into The Sun by Jethro Tull ...first verse Took a sad song of one sweet evening I smiled and quickly turned away It's not easy singing sad songs But still the easiest way I have to say |

I forgot Richard Thompson. A bootleg cassette from his fans was titled "Gloom and Doom from The Tomb"...so his reputation for songwriting was on the morose side. I suppose his most famous (extremely) sad, many would state, "morbid", song is The End Of The Rainbow But there are numerous sombre songs throughout his extensive back catalogue. David Gilmour covered an RT track Dimming Of The Day, which is also pretty sad.

In past "sad song" topics, I usually mention "Hey You" + "Is There Anybody Out There" from The Wall.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Agreed, perhaps somber? A song about death with an uplifting ending....

^To be over isn't actually about death. I can see why people think that though.

Arguably, there've been more great songs posted here than than any other thread on ProgArchives, so it appears I do like sad songs after all.
 Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain And ironing out the rough spots Is the hardest part when memories remain And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio 'Cause from the lips of some old singer We can share the troubles we already know - Bernie Taupin

-I didn't notice that they had to be sad in similar to ways to Whiter Shade of Pale and Nights in White Satin... but although they may not sound similar - I posted some stunning songs. ...ever heard this early Strawbs-tune? Epic sadness and melodramatic melancholy |

Possibly the most downbeat song ever in my opinion. The End - The Doors |
