    N.I.N.'s "Right Where It Belongs"

    Wow can't believe no one mentions that one... Eaither version is greatly depressing but the acoustic version or "V2" is just that much more so. And hits the spot if you want to be depressed while really loathing an Ex....

    Ode To Billie Joe - Bobbie Gentry



    It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
    I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
    And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
    And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
    And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
    "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    'n' Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
    "Well Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
    "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
    'n' Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
    Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
    And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    'n' Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
    Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
    And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
    "I'll have another piece-a apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
    "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
    "And now ya tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    'n' Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
    "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
    "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
    "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
    "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
    "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

    A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
    'n' Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
    There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
    And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
    And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
    And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge

    The Sexual Revolution of the 1960s gave rise to some truly depressing songs about love, which could hardly be called "love songs."

    We'll Sing in the Sunshine
    --Gale Garnett

    I will never love you.
    The cost of love's too dear.
    But though I'll never love you,
    I'll stay with you one year.

    And we can sing in the sunshine.
    We'll laugh every day.
    We'll sing in the sunshine.
    Then I'll be on my way.

    And when our year has ended
    And I have gone away,
    You'll often speak about me
    And this is what you'll say.

    We sang in the sunshine.
    We laughed every day.
    We sang in the sunshine.
    Then she went away.

    CRAZY by Patsy Cline


    Crazy, I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely,
    I'm crazy, crazy for feelin' so blue......
    I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted,
    And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new.
    Worry, why do I let myself worry?
    Wonderin', what in the world did I do?
    Oh, crazy, for thinkin' that my love could hold you.....
    I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin
    And I'm crazy for lovin' you.
    Crazy, for thinkin' that my love could hold you,
    I'm crazy for tryin, and crazy for cryin
    And I'm crazy for lovin' you.....

    sara mclachlan - i will remember you

    I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don’t let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    Remember the good times that we had?
    I let them slip away from us when things got bad
    How clearly I first saw you smilin’ in the sun
    Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

    I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don’t let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    I’m so tired but I can’t sleep
    Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep
    It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
    We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard

    But I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don’t let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    I’m so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
    Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose
    Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
    You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

    And I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don’t let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    And I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don’t let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories
    Weep not for the memories


    Angel--

    Spend all your time waiting
    For that second chance
    For a break that would make it okay
    There’s always one reason
    To feel not good enough
    And it’s hard at the end of the day
    I need some distraction
    Oh beautiful release
    Memory seeps from my veins
    Let me be empty
    And weightless and maybe
    I’ll find some peace tonight

    In the arms of an angel
    Fly away from here
    From this dark cold hotel room
    And the endlessness that you fear
    You are pulled from the wreckage
    Of your silent reverie
    You’re in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort there

    So tired of the straight line
    And everywhere you turn
    There’s vultures and thieves at your back
    And the storm keeps on twisting
    You keep on building the lie
    That you make up for all that you lack
    It don’t make no difference
    Escaping one last time
    It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
    This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

    In the arms of an angel
    Fly away from here
    From this dark cold hotel room
    And the endlessness that you fear
    You are pulled from the wreckage
    Of your silent reverie
    You’re in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort there
    You’re in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort here

    OMG! I remember that song. My mom always played it on the hi-fi super loud (to hear it in the floor) and watched me sing it.
    Then she saw the movie and we didn't listen to it. Apparently it was about.....sex

    I would think that she dumped him and he couldn't take it. That's why he jumped off the bridge. It was HER fault!

    i think the saddest songs are the ones that touch you on a deeper level that can apply to anyone you love sincerely and it's not always romantic. The lyrics may be specific for that but the general message of love is there.
    It can apply to any personal relationship, parent-child, brother-sister, lovers, best friends etc.


    i love you

    I have a smile
    Stretched from ear to ear
    To see you walking down the road

    We meet at the lights
    I stare for a while
    The world around disappears

    Just you and me
    On this island of hope
    A breath between us could be miles

    Let me surround you
    My sea to your shore
    Let me be the calm you seek

    Oh and every time I’m close to you
    There’s too much I can’t say
    And you just walk away

    And I forgot
    To tell you
    I love you
    And the night’s
    Too long
    And cold here
    Without you
    I grieve in my condition
    For I cannot find the strength to say I need you so

    Oh and every time I’m close to you
    There’s too much I can’t say
    And you just walk away

    And I forgot
    To tell you
    I love you
    And the night’s
    Too long
    And cold here
    Without you

    This one I like

    The Scientist - Coldplay


    Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
    You don't know how lovely you are.
    I had to find you, tell you I need you,
    Tell you I set you apart.

    Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions,
    Oh lets go back to the start.
    Running in circles, Comin' up Tails
    Heads on a science apart.

    Nobody said it was easy,
    It's such a shame for us to part.
    Nobody said it was easy,
    No one ever said it would be this hard.

    Oh take me back to the start.

    I was just guessin' at numbers and figures,
    Pulling your puzzles apart.
    Questions of science, science and progress
    Do not speak as loud as my heart.

    And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
    Oh and I rush to the start.
    Runnin' in circles, Chasin' up Tails
    Comin' back as we are

    Nobody said it was easy,
    Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
    Nobody said it was easy,
    No one ever said it would be so hard.

    I'm goin' back to the start.

    Ahhhh oooooo x3

    This is another one thats okay

    Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler


    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never
    coming round
    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to
    the sound of my tears
    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best
    of all the years have gone by
    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see
    the look in your eyes
    Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
    Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of
    something wild
    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying
    like a child in your arms
    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've
    got to get out and cry
    Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see
    the look in your eyes
    Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
    Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

    And I need you now tonight
    And I need you more than ever
    And if you only hold me tight
    We'll be holding on forever
    And we'll only be making it right
    Cause we'll never be wrong together
    We can take it to the end of the line
    Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
    I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
    We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
    I really need you tonight
    Forever's gonna start tonight
    Forever's gonna start tonight

    Once upon a time I was falling in love
    But now I'm only falling apart
    There's nothing I can do
    A total eclipse of the heart
    Once upon a time there was light in my life
    But now there's only love in the dark
    Nothing I can say
    A total eclipse of the heart

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw5Vcnjv5Bo

    But this what I really prefer

    You Oughta Know -Alanis Morissette

    I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
    I wish nothing but the best for you both
    An older version of me
    Is she perverted like me
    Would she go down on you in a theatre
    Does she speak eloquently
    And would she have your baby
    I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

    Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
    To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    And every time you speak her name
    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
    Until you died, till you died
    But you're still alive

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    You seem very well, things look peaceful
    I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
    Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
    I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
    It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
    Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

    Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
    To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    And every time you speak her name
    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
    Until you died, til you died
    But you're still alive

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
    And I'm not gonna fade
    As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
    And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
    I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    Then again, watching japanese animation, at least in original form, might not be the best idea for someone in a bad state of mind, huh?

    Kite as an example...
