Good one! Also, Cats in the Cradle.

"Cold, Cold Heart"

DandyGirl, I think that is the most romantic song, ever. Alan Jackson sang it at George Jones' funeral. If you haven't seen it, you can Youtube it.

"Sarita" by The Subdudes.

Love everyone's sad songs. Here is a current one, The A Team. Very sad.

Billy Joe McAllister Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge...you know, forbidden love and all..that and Honey were my first sad songs while an emotional teen...

The ultimate teenage death songs-"Patches" by Dickie Lee-"Tell Laura I Love Her" by Ray Peterson also "Pretty Paper" by Roy Orbison[written by Willie Nelson]

What gets to me is "Empty Garden" by Elton John. A little more obscure, but "Gasoline Alley Bred" by the Hollies is memorable for the Allan Clarke scream of pain about 2/3 through the song.
And yes, "Honey" is the worst song of the era. Get "Dave Berry's Guide to Bad Songs" for a further discussion.

Oh another one...https://www.facebook.com/video/video...69712553071951. Sarah Brightman doing Figlio Perduto, (which I just learned IS the 2nd movement of the 7th. ) who knew?

translation of figlio perduto:
The Lost Son

Walls of wind
Night has fallen
Father and son are together

With a horse
They proceed
Through this intense darkness

But suddenly
The boy trembles
With fear
It gets cold

Father oh father
Haven't you seen
The king of the elfs
There he is

Lost son
Do you want to play?
I bring you joy
Come with me

Father oh father
Did you hear
What he said
And what he will do?

Lost son
If you don't come with me
I will use the power that I have

Father oh father
The king of the elfs
Is touching me
He hurts me

And the boy
Eyes closed
He doesn't move
He's already lost

Son
Lost son
If you don't come with me
I will use my power

Father oh father
The king of the elfs
Is touching me
He hurts me

And the boy
Eyes closed
He doesn't move
He's already lost

... he's already lost

Song that always brings me down is Roxanne by The Police. To think that a man is begging a woman to not sell her body that night is just truly heartbreaking.

I hate, hate, hate the tearjerker songs. Honey is just loathsome to me -- I have a very nasty habit of making really rude comments when I hear it (like, I'd leave too if you sang that song to me). But I do rather enjoy Last Kiss (listen to the beat between lyrics .. it's "1, 2, 3, 4, tell the people what she wore"). Crack up every time I hear that song.

Okay, call me stupid, but I took Puff the Magic Dragon literally. Poor little lonely dragon...

We have an album by a British (I believe) singer by the name of Summer. She apparently only put out one album, named Summer. Sarah Brightman is good, but Summer is even better. Gorgeous voice.

haha. Cindy, painted rings and dragon wings make way for other toys...very sad. I'll check out Summer. Brightman makes me transcend....so even better?

rats. I meant Cyndy..I have your card. Do you guys keep a card file?
