In A Godda da Vida by Iron Butterfly
 

We met and listened to the band in Reno after they were older, singing in a small club. The lead singer told the story of how the song 'In A Godda Da Vida' got named. It was originally named 'In the Garden of Eden'....but he said they were practicing to record it, and they were all so stoned that it came out sounding like 'In A Godda da Vida'. lol

Saddest song
 

While I love.......He Stopped Loving her today, Tears in Heaven, For the Good Times, and Crying.......I believe the saddest song I ever heard was by John Conlee................'I don't remembr loving you'. It is about a man that went crazy after his wife left him, and she goes to the insane asylum to visit him. Talk about a tear jerker!!! I don't even particularly like country music but this one really gets to me.
(there is a short commercial before the song)

Do you know the difference between a violin and a fiddle?

A violin has strings and fiddle has straings

How about Whiskey Lullaby? That one will get you...

Vince Gill's "Trying to Get Over You" is a sad one. I'll also throw in a vote for Concrete Angel... Martina McBride, I think...

"I'll be seeing you". I believe it's a WWII song.

No,no, no. Ir is "Four hundred children and I can't cop a feel" Everybody knows that!

STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time you guys bring up that song I can't get it out of my mind for a week!:cryin2:

... You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.

I reiterate, the UNDISPUTEDLY saddest song EVER ---- Tears in Heaven, written and recorded by the great Eric Clapton following the tragic death of his little boy.

Best teen death songs, I would have to go with Last Kiss by J Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers

Knowing the story behind Horatio Spafford's It Is Well With My Soul makes it one of the saddest yet happiest songs ever written:

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

(Refrain) It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
(Refrain)

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(Refrain)

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pain shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
(Refrain)

And Lord haste the day, when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Refrain)
