Oh my gosh, seriously. I was going to say that song. I think it is the saddest song that has ever been written.



--- Quote from: Moiche ---The saddest song in the world is a song about a young girl who is told by her mother and father that she will never be pretty.  And then, they open the front door, and on the porch is a little white suitcase, with all of her things in it.
--- End quote ---


No, the saddest song is a retarded man who is crying and promising a broken egg that it will still be a chicken someday. And that they'll play in a field when it gets better.

Melodic:
Death Cab's A Lack of Color. A beautiful song that never ceases to bring a tear to my eye.

Scandanavian War Machine:
Tiger Army- "Remember Forever"

Pearl Jam- "Save You"

Ravenbomb:
"The Shortest Story" by Harry Chapin
I am born today
the sun burns a promise
in my eye
Mama strikes me
and I draw a breath and cry
above me a cloud
slowly tumbles through the sky
I am glad, to be alive
It is my seventh day
I taste the hunger
and I cry
My brother and sister
cling to mama's side
she squeezes her breast
but it has nothing to provide
someone weeps, I fall asleep
It is twenty days today
mama does not hold me
anymore
I open my mouth
but I am too weak to cry
above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky
why is there nothing
now to do but die?

Panbombadil:
Eli, the Barrow Boy by The Decemberists

“Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
Made of gold and silk Arabian thread
But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
And I must push my barrow all the day
And I must push my barrow all the day”

Poor Eli, he'll never have any peace.
