Bon Vivant said: The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me

For a smiths song I would think I know it's over

"Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go

Oh ..."

"If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight
If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ... 'Cause tonight is just like every other night That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms While they're in each other's arms..."

This is a familiar thread topic, and I'm sure I've posted this before in response:

Muddy Waters - Whiskey Blues

 

[edith head]

I can't do anything when this song is playing.



LEE HAZLEWOOD FOR ONE MOMENT

 

[tabira]

Blue Nile - Family Life

 

[GatorToof]

Isn't there a song by Billy Vera & Judy Clay called 'the saddest thing ever?'

Your probably thinking, anything by those two has got to be joyful. I agree it is kind of joyful in a weird how-ya-sat-it kinda way.

Thats what I was thinking as well.

 

[LaserWolf]

I had a roommate who used to play this, and I always thought it was so sad.


At the same time I used to play an arcade game called Phoenix. When you got to a certain level it would play this.

A friend of mine put me onto this, he said he almost couldn't handle the sadness the first time he heard it and I thought he was exaggerating but I had the same reaction.

Arvo Pärt, Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten

Anything by The Carpenters. No way was she feeling on top of the world, evar.

To be honest, doe, life is like, well short enough without dropping sad tunes L, R & C. Muhfug gets home to his trailerpark home from a hard day's work cough, man wants chillaxation, not to reflect on his own perceived ineptitudes or what-personal-demons-have-you. The wife will do that for me just fine.

I used to put Japan's "Ghosts" on the local pub jukebox just to get a rise out of J*mmy Price. He used to ask the landlord to switch it off as it was "Music to slit your wrists by." (I think the chords are nice, it takes more than lyrics dropped by a man wearing make-up to harsh my mellow of several Guinesses and a Baileys chaser)
