Around and Around - John Denver

I hope that you will think of me
In moments when you're happy
And you're smiling
And that the thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days
If you are crying

This might be the one thing you and I have in common...


Black Flies-Ben Howard

 

[Jacques_Corbin]

Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember
Tear a hole so I can see
My devastation
Feelings from so long ago
I don't remember
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
Given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
Blind your eyes to what you see
You can't embrace it
Leave it well enough alone
And don't remember
Cut your pride and watch it bleed
You can't deny it
Pain you know you can't ignore
I don't remember
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
Given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me
Sensation washes over me
I can't describe it
Pain I felt so long ago
I don't remember
...I'm just
Holding on, to let them know
What's given to me
Given to me
To hide behind
The mask this time
And try to believe
If I can
Remember
To know this will
Conquer me
If I can
Just walk alone
And try to escape
Into me
Into me

Remember by Disturbed. This one just resonates with me, as a veteran of the US Army. I play this over and over on Veterans day and Memorial day. Having my wife by my side these past few years has made things a lot less bleak, and my sense of purpose is restored, but I still feel like I am hiding behind a mask...

Rufus Wainwright singing both sides now ruins me every time.

Oh wow. Just listened to it and Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins Versions. All awesome. I really like the Judy Collins one a lot.

Leave The City - Magnolia Electric Co

It broke my heart to leave the city
I mean it broke what wasn't
Broken in there already

Lies I Choose To Believe - John Moreland

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e9hui3Foy4E

But good luck finding your peace of mind
Being born into these brutal times
And these days I don't pray when I close my eyes
I just bite my tongue a bit harder

 

[Mr_bogey]

Look at me I'm ten feet tall
Jungle-Jim, hope I don't fall
Gather 'round for my playground show
They call me Time, my real name is Timothy
Your attention please but please not your sympathy
My dad's real cool
He discovered Mars
And my mom is a movie star
The kids at school don't let me play anything
But I don't care because I have everything
Any boy could ever need
A helicopter that takes me anywhere
A diamond horse, yeah my dad's a millionaire
Don't mind the holes in my knees
And my mom's a movie star
Bill Green grabs his lunch from the window sill
I left mine home, how 'bout a bite of your sandwich, Bill
A friend in need is a friend indeed
The teacher asks oh where are you parents Tim
It's been five months and I've seen no sign of them
My dad's not here
He flew back to Mars and my mom is a movie star
She's a movie star
She's a movie star
My dad's drunk in a bar
And my mom's crashed the car
She's a movie star

Dude Elliot is the saddest. Kings Crossing is a fcking suicide letter.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=05iyJ6-VgxQ

But I don't care if I fuck up
I'm going on a date
With a rich wife lady
Ain't life great?
Give me one good reason not to do it
Because we love you
So do it
This is the place where time reverses
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away

Probably my favorite of his songs. The music is hauntingly beautiful. I know it's sad music but I'm inexplicably lifted by it.

Back - Slobberbone

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tadvsgF9nJg

When I find my way back
Everyone will see
How much I have missed them
And how much they mean to me
When I find my way back
Everyone will know
How much I love them so

The saddest song of arguably the saddest album of all-time, written after he got news of his death sentence:

Pretty fucked how many of these are dead people. This one is pretty heartbreaking. Last song on last album.

Might be done with this.

Talking To Myself - Justin Townes Earle

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LzBfQUopi-s

I'm in a lot of pain and I need some help
I don't dare tell nobody else
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
I rarely go out, and when I go
I always hope I don't see anyone I know
'Cause the drinks bring no joy to me
I just can't remember when
All the drugs begin to fail me
Left me only with a lonely child to fend
'Cause I tried to love and I failed
I've put my heart on a shelf

Please Dont Die - Father John Misty

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RnWMzy9o8A0

One more cryptic message
Thinking that I might end it
Oh god, you must have woken up
To me saying that it's all too much
I'll take it easy with the morbid stuff

The saddest album I know of is Brave by Marillion. They actually added Made Again on the end to lift it up.

Here is The Great Escape from Brave.

"The Great Escape"

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away

Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload

Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light

Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you

You're holding on, you're holding on ...

[I. The Last Of You]

Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk

So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?

[II. Falling From The Moon]

Don't ask me why I'm doing this
You wouldn't understand
You're asking the wrong questions
You couldn't understand

A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isn't far to fall

When you've fallen
When you've fallen from the moon

There's murder on the street
I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
I have fallen, fallen from the moon

Very nice. Thank you.

Weird choice here but Weezer’s Tired Of Sex always seemed fucking sad and at times pretty spot fucking on sad.
