The Saddest Songs Ever (Radiohead, quote, talent)

Kayleigh: Come on, really? That song is so syrupy and disgusting. It's the ultimate example of selling out by a band that had already sold out so much (remember the "Rockin' Roller Coaster?"). Not sad at all. It's trying too hard.

Well, it depends on how you define sad. Two of De Andre's songs that can be described as sad springs to mind, but they are totally different as far as sadness is concerned.

"Guerra di Piero" is a cold, almost cynical take on solitary death and regret, while "Sidun", (which is sung in Genoese) is more raw, lamenting and heartfelt.
