Sad Songs

[hamstrung]

A good friend of mine is moving to Spain in the New Year. She's an emotional sort, and I can't be with her on New Years Eve, so I have made her a CD to play at midnight. She'll be hammered (she hosts mad parties. The sort were you wake up days later in a different postcode and a gram of coke in your pocket) and open to subliminal suggestion.

 

Anyway, I want to make her weep, and maybe laugh at my sarcasm. This is the tracklist so far of the Cd she'll be playing at 11.59pm on 31/12/06

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Sad and kind of suggests you think shes a trannie (oh how she will laugh hartily)

nice thought. Her boobs and too big and fleshy for her to be a trannie though.

[Gav]

Bobby Goldsboro - Honey

 

 

End of thread

Can I retract this statement please, I dont really know were I'm going with it.

[hamstrung]

There She Goes - The Las

 

That's a good one

[Nunavut Patrick]

Piano Man- Billy Joel.

 

I had a Polish mate who always cried when he heard it.

That was on the list actually but ruled out on account it is 5.35 long. I never go beyond 5 minutes on compilations.

 

Without rules, you are left with anarchy.

 

**edit: "Everybody hurts" & "don't give up" granted an exemption, on the basis that on New Years eve are likely to induce tears in anyone within a 3 mile radius, especially when pissed

[Hermes]

If You Know Their History - The Gwladys St End

 

Saddest song I've ever heard.

[CharleyKnight]

Informer - Snow

 

Fuck The Police - NWA

 

Cop Killa - Ice T

 

I also find a bit of Vibes and Live Lee live at Helter Skelter circa 1995, is also a touching way to say goodbye.

You want the Jeff Buckley version and you want Roads instead of Numb. Thank me later.

[rondeco]

A better suggestion would be Lilac wine by Jeff Buckley. Has me blubbering like a girl every time.

[Uncle_Meat]

Peter Gabriel - I Grieve

Joni Michell - Rainy Night House

HIM - Gone With The Sin

Richard Wright (keyboards Pink Floyd) - Pinks Song

Roy Harper - Morning Star

Levellers - Elation

Jim Morrison - Freedom Exists/A Feast of Friends

Joy Division - Atmosphere

Albinoni - Adagio in G minor

[wiiksie]

Dont listen to Monty mate, go with your instinct on 'Numb' (he only likes Roads coz the jingly jangly guitar appeals to his warped indie sense of hearing).

 

Id add:

 

DJ Shadow - 'Midnight in a perfect world'

Urban Myth Club - 'So Beautiful'

[BatChainPuller]

Ballad of Hollis Brown - The Neville Brothers version not Dylan (not Gary or Phil either). So sad its practically unbearable.

Kingdom of Rain - The The

Alison - Elvis Costello

I'm Glad - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

[King Emlyn]

These are the days-Queen

 

Decades-Joy Division

[Mr.SB]

TV Movie - Pulp

Delicate - Damien Rice

Some Devil - Dave Matthews

[cochcaer]

Brett Anderson - Love is Dead

Saint Etienne - Hobart Paving

The Beautiful South - Let Love Speak Up Itself

[A-G]

Rufus Wainwright - Natasha not really sad but i saw it on Nip/Tuck and it was emotional

[The-Sir]

Blink 182 - Fuck a Dog

Buy a nice ring and propose. Go for it!

[Monkeywool]

Nah there is a piano version by John Cale of Hallelujah which would perfectly fit the bill.

 

Plus a song called "Good Life" by Francis Dunnery - she would be blubbering like anything

 

Both you can get from the scrubs soundtrack album in fact.

[hamstrung]

The Jeff Buckley one is too long - nearly 7 minutes - got to be strict with these things on compilations. Especially for pissed people with short attention spans.

 

 

Albinoni - Adagio in G minor

 

Good shout that man!

 

Buy a nice ring and propose. Go for it!

 

My current wife may object.

[robbief]

one to end all others...
