love this song!

my all time favorite sad song has to be Johnny Cash singing Hurt

Fair enough! I love it as it is. I suppose it went pretty mainstream for a reason though.

I just remember another incredible song, which is now dubbed my favourite sad song and will be my funeral song too:

REM - Everybody Hurts

YES YES! best song eva!

Type O Negative - Everything Dies
Joy Division - Day Of The Lords
Sarah McClachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Dream Academy - Waterloo:



I love the saxophone that comes in later. I still can't find this album on CD and have make do with my Cassette.

is this post related to sound, lyrics, or both?
Personally, I tend to privilege the sound, so my fav songs are:
- Gravity (Embrace)
- My melancholy blues (Queen)
- Not for all the love in the world (the thrills)
- Where the wild roses grow (minogue/cave)
- vicious traditions (the veils)
- trouble (coldplay)

makes me sad when i hear it
