"Wings for Marie" (Part 1) & "10,000 Days" (Wings Part 2). Just like "Tears in Heaven" it is such a deeply personal song from an artist to the audence.

I second this one it makes my heart ache when i hear it....

These are the saddest songs I can think of :
My Dyiny Bride - For my fallen angel , My wine in silence(and many others)
Within Temptation - Bittersweet
The Sins of thy Beloved - Lake of Sorrow, Until the dark
Theater of Tragedy - A distance there is

For me, it's a song that recently hit the spotlight as sung by Willie Nelson: Bob Dylan's "He Was a Friend of Mine". Makes me cry almost as much as his "Ramblin', Gamblin' Willie" makes me smile.

But neither one holds a candle to my main man, Nigel Tufnel. There have been times in my life when I could cry just thinkin' 'bout "Lick My Love Pump"

.

Not many, mind you; but at times ....

I dug up this thread to post Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain..


In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

Also another equally sad song is "You Are My Sunshine"

Frank Zappa's Watermelon in Easter Hay has got to be the saddest sounding solo I've heard. Very very good though!

Thanks for the suggestion. I was in Bloomfield on my way to Chama last week and would have stopped by the record store in Aztec, but a small herd of goats had the road blocked.

I am not a Christian, but my vote would definitely go for the various "Stabat Mater" (Pergolesi, Vivaldi, Dvorak, Poulenc, Szymanowski to mention but a few). A description of Mary's pain at the cross:

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of
Sorrow has taken you

Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressin' you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessin' you

Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin' you
How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday

(Billy Holiday)

I actually listened to the lyrics of Fear Factory's "Timelessness" and it brought a tear to my eyes.

"I've felt darkness
closing in on me
Chilling shadows
surrounding me
I've had the poison
leak into my skin
And it corroded
my heart away
Bled away
Cut away
Dark night of my soul..."


I did have some beer in me at the time as well.
