Songs of Saddness!
These 5 songs are probably some of the most saddest songs around, but definately some of my all time favourites.1. Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
There is freedom within,
there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car,
there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
2. Easier to Walk Away - Elton John
Every turn, you turn around
You wear another face
Every time I look away
I find a harder place
If you knew me like you know him
You know just how I feel
Slipping through somebody’s fingers
Falling onto someone’s grieve
It’s easier to walk away
Better off to face the fact
When love holds you up for ransom
Walk away and don’t look back
Never seen you looking back through
Smiling with added tears
If I knew you were holding on to
Memories and fear
Just release me, I can take it
Can’t you see a change has come?
Strangled by infatuation
Buried under someone’s thumb
It’s easier to walk away
Better off to face the fact
When love holds you up for ransom
Walk away and don’t look back
It’s easier to walk away
Cover it up and paint it black
When love scars you and leave you stranded
Walk away and don’t look back
Every turn, you turn around
You wear another face
Every time I look away
I find a harder place
It’s easier to walk away
Better off to face the fact
When love holds you up for ransom
Walk away and don’t look back
It’s easier to walk away
Cover it up and paint it black
When love scars you and leave you stranded
Walk away and don’t look back
3. I'm Gonna Miss you - Milli Vanilli (even though I was told not to publish it)
I knew it from the start, you would break my heart,
But still I had to play this painfull part.
You wrapped me around your litlle bitty finger
With your magic smile you kept me hanging on
the lovers cross of wild.
You put your spell on me and take my breath away,
But there was nothing I could do to make you stay.
I’m gonna miss you!
All the love I feel for you, nothing could make me change.
I’m going to puke, oh Girl.
I’m gonna miss you, Baby!
Give me all the love I feel for you.
Couldn’t make you change your point of view.
Your leavin’!
Now it seems here, I’m waisting my time
I just don’t know what I should do.
It’s a tragedy for me to say the dream is over and
I never will forget the day we met.
Girl, I’m gonna miss you!
Like a honey bee, you took the best of me.
Now I can’t erase these memories.
Like a fairy tale you are so unveil.
You left a scar so hard to heal.
While you had days of paradise,
Back home home I felt as cold as ice.
I’m gonna miss you!
I’m gonna miss you!
Give me all the love I feel for you.
Couldn’t make you change your point of view.
Your leavin’!
Now it seems here, I’m waisting my time
I just don’t know what I should do.
It’s a tragedy for me to say the dream is over and
I never will forget the day we met.
Girl, I’m gonna miss you!
It’s a tragedy for me to say the dream is over and
I never will forget the day we met.
Girl, I’m gonna miss you!
4. Stay - Shakespear Sisters
If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape.
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains.
But if you try to go alone
Don't think i'll understand.
Stay with me.
Stay with me.
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams.
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more.
Stay with me.
Stay with me.
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll make it safe
Back to your own world.
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world.
Cause when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries in your own world.
Only time will tell if you can break the spell
Back in your own world.
5. Nothing Compares - Sinead O'Connor
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do what-ever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurantbut nothing,
I said nothing can take away these blues
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without U here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
but they only remind me of U.
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
guess what he told mehe said:
"girl U better try to have fun no matter what
U do"but he's a fool
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares to you
All the flowers that U planted mama
in the back yard all died when U went away
I know that living with U baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give U another try
'cos nothing compares
nothing compares to you.

Funny. You know “Mini Playback Show”? Every kid or teeny has that dream to sing or performance his favourite song or imitate his favourite artist one day. And you can get that chance -play back of course-to be a star on stage in that show. So… my best friend and me, we imitated Shakespear Sisters with the song “Stay”. Not on television, but it was on a very, very big public event. I loved that song. I was 11 years old, no tits, but I looked like a “Grufti- bitch”. Another song, which we have performanced, was the “Dirty Dancing”- song…of course.
get a life Gordon & for heaven's sake, better music as well.
can't wait for you to land on the island and torture us with L Riche, Cranberries and U2..
btw: like the "dirty dancing" song. :D
No Lionel or Bono? Whats up with that bru? I wish I was on the island for the reunion party that is coming up... have a Phoenix for me. Miss you!
Someone told you not to post "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You"? How dare they! That's a great song, regardless of who the hell really sang it. I think Diane Warren wrote it. Or maybe she wrote another song by them (whoever "them" is)
