Memory Of Light - Dave Hewson

Memory Of Light by Dave Hewson

The Rolling Stone's "Angie" gets to me too.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "The Ship Song" and "Into My Arms" will get me every single time.
More that make my personal boohoo list:
Love Will Save You- Swans
Pale Blue Eyes- The Velvet Underground
Complex- Gary Newman
New Dawn Fades- Joy Division
Here Comes A Regular- The Replacements
Strange Little Girl- The Stranglers
***et- Korn

I think it was you who got me into him in the first place too, with this song in fact!

Ohhh awesome!

I love hearing that I've introduced people to new music. It makes me feel all bubbly inside. But enough of that, I'm here in this thread to spread sadness.

I rarely get depressed by good music but bad music is really depressing (example embedded below).

This song is a real favourite of mine. It sounds utterly hopeless and Jenn Ghetto sounds like she's on the verge of cracking up at any moment.

Won't tell a single soul that my soul's gone
It's hard to write this song
It's all a joke
It's all been wrote down by someone who's probably dead

that's actually a really good song. If you wanted to post an example of bad music you picked poorly.
