Everybody Hurts, because they do and it's nice to be reminded of that...

------------------
Go lightly down your darkened way.

I just remembered another one, Blues Traveler has one on their new CD (which, might I add is FABULOUS). It's #7, but I can't remember the title. It's about their friend who died...it is SO true, every word of it strikes a chord with anybody who has ever lost a close friend.

U2 songs:

-- The First Time
-- Tomorrow (Common Ground Version)

Saddest U2 I can think of.

Melon

------------------
"He had lived through an age when men and women with energy and ruthlessness but without much ability or persistence excelled. And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time

My Beloved Wife by Natalie Merchant always makes me cry.

I cannot even imagine the loss that Eric Clapton must have felt. Now that I have a son, Tears in Heaven is almost too painful for me to listen too.

LuvLady · 12-02-2001, 09:13 AM

L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

You mean the ones that aren't very good?

One day we'd reach the great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon
And we'd lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
And be towed by the drag of the moon
