Can't beat the Johnny Cash version imvho

Sad songs are a Romanian speciality but you don't know them, on the other hand I don't understand English lyrics. Let's try anyway:

Dust in the wind - Kansas
39 - Queen
Sacrifice - Elton John
Layla - Eric Clapton
In the death car - Goran Bregovic
Desenchantee - Mylene Farmer

 

[Tazio]

Loan Me a Dime - Boz Scaggs

 

[muggle not]

Can't beat the Johnny Cash version imvho

Try listening to the original by Lefty Frizzell....I think it is pretty darn hard to beat....it makes the hair on my arms stand on end.

 

[Parabolica]

Protection - Massive Attack.

Not sad as such, just soulful and beautiful.

 

[gadjo_dilo]

C'est la vie - Emerson, Lake& Palmer

 

[Tazio]

Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground - Willie Nelson

 

[Koz]

 

[Corvettian]

It's interesting to note that there have been more replies to this thread than to the "Happy Songs" thread!
I'd recommend any song by Evanescence, but "Lost In Paradise" has become my favourite.

I like the version of "Can't You See" Hank Williams Jr. I play it each time I have a disagreement with missus.

 

[Parabolica]

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

 

[Mintexmemory]

The Band played Waltzing Matilda - Pogues version

 

[muggle not]

Another soulful song that is one of the best.....Old Man River sung by Paul Robeson.......Paul Robeson - Ol' Man River (Showboat - 1936) J.Kern O. Hammerstein II - YouTube

Doesn't she react by playing Supergirl - Reamonn?

 

[Rudy Tamasz]

Doesn't she react by playing Supergirl - Reamonn?

No, she's not too much into music. We share a weird love of, mind you, Bryan Adams, though. Am I just falling low in your eyes?

No. I also love Bryan which kinda exasperated Mr. Mintexmemory who thought I abused of mentioning ,,When you're gone'' on Never ending songs..thread


Don't know if it's really sad but the lyrics of this song just had a strong emotional impact on my humble person:
Ragazzo solo, Ragazza sola - David Bowie
( the Italian version of Space Oddity)
