Saddest song ever??

[WiseOldSage]

What's your vote?

[columbus]

surely a close run thing between old shep and honey

[swedeheart]

Can't make my mind up whether or not Fire And Rain is a sad song... decide for yourself ...but it's one of the best songs ever, that's for sure.

James Blunts

Seemingly a poll of polls says that it is Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven ... and knowing the story behind it I can believe it.

[Foo.King]

double tragedy with that song, remember jamie bulger?

[NoMercy]

Ben (Michael Jackson)

[CJ242]

Tears in heaven makes me cry every time!

Not in the same league but still really sad!
Living years - Mike and the mechanics
Hazard - Richard Marx

[baileybird]

Everybody hurts - REM :-(

[Foo.King]

NoMercy don't lower the tone using that name on here .


have i mentioned i hate him?

[WiseOldSage]

Guaranteed to make me cry - Bette Midler and Wind Beneath My Wings but not the saddest

[NoMercy]

The song was about his dog. It brought tears to my eyes.

dont break my heart

[baileybird]

it wasn't about a dog it was about a rat!!!

Because of the subject matter it just has to be Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven.

However I'm a real sucker for story in song type of errr songs, and another of my favourites is Hot Chocolate's Emma.

One of my favourite songs ever - watch the whole thing. I don't watch Britain's Got Talent, but someone showed me this tonight - it's really not what you expect. There is a message in the song, but also in the performance.......

I meant this one LOL was listening to the other...aww this makes me so sad at the end :(

[B00]

Hope its not the same Emma as in Hot Chocolate's song- as she's now dead.

[Postdog]

This one maybe.....

It's OK, I'm not being serious. However it does sorta qualify and I thought I'd share it for those have never heard it. Listen to the end.

Personally, I'd go for "Ben" or "sorry seems to be the hardest word", cos it often is in real life.
