Sad Songs...

[dave from knoxville]

Maybe it has to do with an association with another time in my life, maybe it's Fripp's solo but either way this isn't my video:

What is this, Stan? Is it David Sylvain? Japan?

Rainy Night in Soho/The Pogues
Wish You Were Here/Pink Floyd

 My apologies for failing to label it, Dave. It's St. Elmo's Fire from the album Another Green World by Brian Eno. It's one of the four 'must own albums' of his, along with Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy and Before and After Science.

[JonFromMaplewood]

Almost forgot "Sympathy" by Sleater Kinney.  As a parent, it hits me right in the kishkes.  I can't even sing along without my voice cracking.

"I know I come to you only when in need.
I'm not the best believer,
not the most deserving.
All I have all I am all I can,
For him."

Excuse me a moment...

Christmas Eve in the Drunk Tank chokes me up every year.

[Julie]

Actually, all pre-1959 Christmas songs make me cry. It gets worse every year. I could cry just thinking about it.

'you're decided' by edith frost

bad divorce that turned into a sad/good friendship when it came out, so circumstances involved

[Man Machine]

"Shannon" by Henry Gross. For 30 years that song has gotten to me. Same thing with "Seasons in the Sun".

Someone previously mentioned the Waterboys' "The Whole of the Moon" and I second that.
