There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind

How about Yesterday?

You probably know many of these but here are some of my favorites from the 60s and 70s I find sad or at least melancholic, (trying not to include those already mentioned):

Rolling Stones: As Tears Go By

Jefferson Airplane: Coming Back to Me

Procol Harum: Homburg, Wreck of the Hesperus, Too Much Between Us, Pilgrim's Progress

King Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon, Islands, Starless

Camel: Air Born

Genesis: Mad Man Moon, Undertow

Kansas: Dust in the Wind

Tom Waits: Martha,I Hope I Don't Fall in Love with You, Kentucky Avenue (actually most songs by Tom Waits)

Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind

10CC: I'm Not in Love

Chicago: If You Leave Me Now

Bread: Aubrey

Thanks!
I hope you'll play with the post options a bit and learn to post videos, photos and links.  

cut and paste a link to one's browser is not that hard isn't it ? ;-)

Insert Movie option, just put in the last part of the video link i.e. sIHV5gm5FEA, then people can just click on the video to watch it without having to copy and paste the URL.

Our OP is long gone but this whole lp is melancholy and has that Caravan/Magic Man vibe to me..one of my favorites.

A very sad song from 1979 is by Rickie Lee Jones and it's titled "Saturday Afternoons In 1963". She became a huge success as a singer songwriter, but I sware to you...this was a strange song. The piano part is odd and melancholy. The words are not designed to be catchy like many Pop ballads seem to be. The strings are beautiful, it's a short song and it's unusual to me that she wrote it. It's an oddball track from a very successful Pop album in the 70s. ( to me). Without the lyrics...just the composition itself brings back beautiful memories of people I knew who died young and the song has made me feel a very deep sadness or a love for those who I lost in my life. The song also brings back memories of my childhood. Damn! It's a strange song to me! I am not a fan of her music, but that song is heartbreaking in a poetic and artistic way
