Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

I agree its very sad but it reminds me of Tupacs song 'Brenda's got a baby'-so it annoys me.
Time for something original for a change me thinks.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

another sad song is by eric clapton...

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

The only sad thing about it is the total lack of talent by the people 'singing' (?) it. Awful, awful lyrics aswell.
Sorry, I can't stand this commercial crap posing as RnB.


I'm not really one for sad songs as I'm just not that kind of bloke but Johnny Cash's version of Hurt always tugs the strings with me.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

i dont like RnB, its rather boring, give me rock anyday:D

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

So it's the subject matter that tugs at the heart strings, not the song in itself.

I apologize again, disgraceful quality of music like this always gets on my wick.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

it is one of those that brings home a bit of a reality check , makes me think how luck i was growing up..

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

I agree, that is one of the saddest songs ever and a pure classic

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

Well, I tried to listen to this piece of 'music'....but it must be something to do with my age.....I didn't find it tuneful and have to admit I gave up before it got to the message in the song......give me unchained melody.....good words and a tuneful melody....not blooming rap nonsense.

here here...........rap is justAttachment 8851:D

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

been told johnny cash...hurt, is a sad video but never seen it or heard it either!

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

The song that brings tears to my eyes is....To Dance with my Father again....by Van Morrison (I think). :( I find the words very poignant.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

It was Luther Vandross, Margaret :)

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

See, I knew I'd be wrong.....not much of a pop music fan anymore.
Thanks for the information shakermaker.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

I don't normally cut and paste on the forum but this is one of the saddest songs I have heard, I wonder how many of you remember this Jim Reeves oldie "Old Tige".

Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last.
I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and past.
How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath,
and how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death.
As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes
Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose.
Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down,
I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound.
The big bus stopped I got off - it was awful dark and thick with fog.
Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog.
I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day
And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away.
To have Tige meet me here like this, I was...I was really glad
'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd buried Dad.
Two long miles still lay ahead, but what I didn't know
A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go.
I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led,
Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead.
Tige inched along this way and that, going rough and slow,
And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below.
Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair,
I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there.
I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years
I owe my life to him tonight, I couldn't help my tears.
You say you wrote me bout the Dam, well, God was sure with us
I didn't get your letter, Mom, but old Tige met the bus.
I hate to tell you son, she said, but now you've got to know.
When you left it broke his heart...Tige died three years ago.

It was more of a poem because Jim Reeves spoke the lyrics with the gentle melody in the background.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

OH YES THATS RIGHT,,,,CHEERS,,, :)

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

It's a pleasure. Just checked on Amazon - he's got a Greatest Hits CD (including Teddy Bear) on there if you're interested. :cool:

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

Eric Claptons song "Tears in Heaven" was written following the death of his 4 year old son who tragically fell from a window in his apartment in New York, a real sadie in memory of his son.
"Annies Song" by John Denver another saddie from film about a woman dying from cancer & the effect on her Hubbys inability to cope with the situation.

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

I was on the outskirts of a little southern town
Tryin' to reach my destination
Before the sun went down
The old CB was blarin' away on channel 1-9
When there came
A little boy's voice on the radio line
And he said
Breaker 1-9
Is anyone there
Come on back truckers
And talk to Teddy Bear
Well I keyed the mike and said
You got it
Teddy Bear
And a little boy's voice came back on the air
Preciate the break
Who we got on that end
I told him my handle
And then he began
Now I'm not supposed to bother you fellows out there
Mom says you're busy
And for me to stay off the air
But you see
I get lonely and it helps to talk
'Cause that's about all I can do
I'm crippled
And I can't walk
I came back and told him to fire up that mike
And I'd talk to him
As long as he liked
This was my dad's radio
The little boy said
But I guess it's mine and mom's now
'Cause my daddy's dead
Dad had a wreck about a month ago
He was trying to get home in a blindin' snow
Mom has to work now
To make ends meet

And I'm not much help
With my two crippled feet
She says not to worry
That we'll make it alright
But I hear her crying
Sometimes late at night
You know there's one thing
I want more than anything else to see
Aw, I know you guys are too busy to bother with me

But you see
My dad used to take me for rides
When he was home
But.... I guess that's all over now
Since my daddy's gone
Not one breaker came on the old CB
As that little crippled boy
Talked with me
I tried hard to swallow
A lump
That just wouldn't stay down
As I thought about my boy
Back in Greenville Town
Dad was going to take mom and me with him
Later on this year
Why l remember him saying
Someday this old truck will be yours Teddy Bear
But I know I'll never get to ride an 18-wheeler again
But this old base will keep me in touch
With all my trucker friends
Teddy Bear's gonna back on out now
And leave you alone
'Cause it's about time for
Mom to come home
But you give me a shout when you're passin' through
And I'll sure be happy to come back to you
Well I came back and I said
Uh...Before you go 10-10
What's your home 20
Little CB friend
Well he gave me his address
And I didn't once hesitate
'Cause this hot load of freight
[these lyrics are found on http://www.songlyrics.com]
Was just gonna have to wait
I turned that truck around on a dime
And headed straight for Jackson Street, 229
And as I rounded the corner
Oh I got one heck of a shock
l8 wheelers were lined up for three city blocks
Why I guess every driver for miles around
Had caught Teddy Bear's call
And that little crippled boy was having a ball
For as fast as one driver would carry him in
Another would carry him to his truck
And take off again
Well you better believe
I took my turn at riding Teddy Bear
And then I carried him back in
And put him down in his chair
And buddy if I never live to see happiness again
I want you to know
I saw it that day
In the face of that little man
We took up a collection for him
Before his mama got home
And each driver said goodbye
And then they all were gone
He shook my hand with a mile-long grin
And said
So long trucker
I'll catch ya again
Well I hit the Interstate
With tears in my eyes
I turned on the radio
And I got another surprise
Breaker 1-9
Came a voice on the air
Just one word of thanks
From Mama Teddy Bear
We wish each and every one
A special prayer for you
Cause, You just made my little boy's
Dream come true
I'll sign off now
Before I start to cry
May God ride with ya
10-4
And goodbye

Re: one of the saddest songs??
 

Right on the money, Shakey!

It's sad, very, very sad that popular music has descended to this level - total and utter plastic, homogenised, soulless drivel!

R&B? They ought to do 'em under the Trades Description Act!!
