Wasted Time by the Eagles is the greatest sad song ever!

[Mupepe]

Because it's not really sad!  It's uplifting!

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head down in your hands
Oh my god, you can't believe
It's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
And it looks like the end

You're back out streets
And you're trying to remember
How to start it over
But you don't know if you can
You don't care much for a strangers touch
But you can't hold your man

You never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
But I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinkin'
About the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much
No no, you just loved the boy too well

So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
The shadows come to stay
So you take a little somethin'
To make them go away

I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wonderin' what I left behind
And from worryin' about this wasted time

Another love has come and gone
And the years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own:
"Sometimes to keep it together
You've got to leave it alone"

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

The Eagles are pretty fucking bad. They have like 3 good songs.

[Mupepe]

Good list Beelzebozo.  I have a lot of songs that do that.  But I listen to a lot of emo music. 

[beelzebozo]

if you've never heard "bad news" by the eels, check it out--if you dig stuff that makes you feel something, i imagine it'll be right up your alley. 

[CajoleJuice]

"True Love Waits" by Radiohead

GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER!  WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING HER!  I'LL SLICE YOUR FUCKING THROAT!

I'm not a country fan, but "Skin" by Rascal Flatts always gets me choked up.

Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell
And the bruise just won't go away

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with the smile stands in the door
And says will you please come with me

Sara Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved, it's the strongest there is
And I think that we caught it in time
And Sara Beth closes her eyes.

And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For just this morning, right here on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sara Beth closes her eyes

And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair

It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had all been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancing, around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared

Wasted Time is very depressing.  Great lyrics, and a great song.  Some of my favorite parts:

And the hours go by like minutes
The shadows come to stay
So you take a little somethin'
To make them go away

I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wonderin' what I left behind
And from worryin' about this wasted time

"Sometimes to keep it together
You've got to leave it alone"

Her face is very defined. I prefer he with her natural hair in that pic; the red hair makes her look a bit dirty/slutty

[beelzebozo]

your inclusion of beck and chris isaak is awesome.
i still listen to "somebody's cryin" every now and then.

do you like "lost cause?"

[beelzebozo]

elliott smith i dabble in.  sometimes his voice is a little too whispery and subtle for me--i have been saddled with some pretty poppy sensibilities, somehow.

this other gent i've never heard of.  give me the ultimate patrick wolf song!  i want to believe.

[Mupepe]

Beck   

[beelzebozo]

lol no, i just hadn't gotten a chance to listen to it yet.  i've been stuck on peter bjorn and john, and the new mika album.  i'll turn down my game and give them a listen and let you know what i think.

edit:  i really love "the libertine."  it reminds me of "girl, you'll be a woman soon" from pulp fiction for some reason.
