Sad Songs An Those Lines That Cut Through Your Heart!

A personal story in the experience: I Love Music
I always thought my story for this group would be how music has touched me in every way and how i have always felt it and listen to it constantly. But nah. lol I just decided to write about a conversation i had today with a friend of mine about sad songs, and those lines that cut you deep! As me and him sang through a few songs we reflected, and even laughed at some of the horribly sad phrases. They are so damn heartwrenching it's ridiculous. I just love how deep some simple lines can go. Different lines are the saddest for some, but these are some for me. I thought i would bring up a few lines and verses of random sad songs just for the fun or well, sadness of it.

Gordon Lightfoots "If you could read my mind"

If I could read your mind love

what a tale your thoughts could tell

just like a paperback novel

the kind that drugstores sell

when you reach the part

where the heartaches come

the hero would be me

but heroes often fade....

And you won't read that book again

Because the ending is

 just too hard to take...

Coldplay's The Scientist (you know better than to listen to this when u break up lol)

(about a broken relationship)

I was just guessing

Numbers and figures

pulling the puzzles apart

Questions of science

Science and progress

Do not speak as loud

as my heart

Tell me you love me

Come back and haunt me

Oh when i rush to the start

Running in circles, Chasing our tails

Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy

Oh it's such a shame for us to part

Nobody said it was easy

No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start...

Jim Croce's "Operator (That's not the way that it feels)"

Operator, well could you help me place this call?

Well i can't read the number that you just gave me

Theres something in my eyes

you know it happens every time

I think about a love that i thought would save me...

The Carpenters "GoodBye To Love" how depressing is this!

I'll say goodbye to love

No one ever cared if I should live or die

Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by

And all i know is how to live without it

I just can seem to find it

....

All the years of useless search

Have finally reached an end

Loneliness and empty days

will be my only friend

From this day love is forgotten

I'll go on as best I can...

I'll note that although the words are depressing, I find this song a little funny due to the crazy  guitar solos that randomly come in against the overall tone of the song LOL. They are good solos though. :).

That's it I suppose. Thanks for reading (if you've gotten this far) and i may add some more sad songs if they pop in my head. May the sad songs always make us weep and our heartaches worse!

Any sad songs or lines make you guys cry?

Music has always been a passion for me ...I am a tenderhearted fool at time and yes ...there are songs that have made me cry...As a kid I always seem to be grounded(only boy with 4 sisters lol) and I would lay on the floor in the living room and listen to music on the console stereo.I loved and still love music.It can make your mood ...whether it be happy or sad or even make you want to shift gears and drive fast.I have told my children to keep an open mind when it comes to music and dont get stuck on one genre....there is so much good music out there...whether it be pop or rock or country or even some of the music from my parents era....It can move me...can make me melancholy, or put me in the mood to be romantic ..music hits my very soul!I have always wished I could play an instrument so I could makemusic...but I just dont have that kind of talent!

I am really stuck on this one song right now. Saw it on youtube...anyways the lyrics kill me because it pretty much sums up the way I had been feeling for a while... about this one guy.

Sorry if I dont know all the words...just the one's that hit home. :)

"Sucker for Romance" by Tori D'Amelio

I wasnt looking for your love my dear.
So unasuming
Thought my coast was clear
You caught my causious eye
I couldnt speak
If you and I collide
Would it be everything to me? To me?
But I still dont know what I want
Still dont know what I want

My head is reeling
The light is blinking
And what I am feeling...
Well it just wont go, Go away
And time is telling
A brand new story
Dont know the ending
All I know is
This is right!

What am I doing here on your doorstep?
And it's raining outside.
I dont know what to say cause Im tongue tied
Tongue Tied.

It's not sad...just really honest...I guess that why I like it.

best song ever is a classic music song, it is both sad and joyfull, contine d'un autre ete l'apres midi, ( french for a nother summer afternoon )or amelie pouling by Yann tiersen. this entire cd is good, but this song I feel reflects the melodramatic way of life really well.

River : Joni Mitchell
Man Of The World : Fleetwood Mac
Tears In Heaven : Eric Clapton

Sad songs are my specialty. I recorded this sad lament recently, thought some of you might enjoy listening. A shameless plug ? Yes but it is relevant to your post in as much as it is also a sad song.
