That is a sad song. Also, Lucky Man is sad if you listen to the lyrics.

I believe in father christmas is pretty sad and if they play it at Xmas it is even sadder.It's funny they play this at Xmas because it's kind of anti Xmas.

I love Turn of the Centruy but the whole "Like leaves we touch.." part is just for some reason so close in melody to some awful 80's song and it always ruins the song, but i have been learning to forget about it.

this remebers me of another incredibly sad song written with such an occasion: zeppelin's All My Love - from father, to son.

I just can't see how this song is depressing




I can understand Cygnus completely! "Time Table" is such a saaad song, also very sad Genesis-songs are the very, very short "Broadway Melody Of 1974" (I would never have imagined that such a short piece could move me that much) and "The Cinema Show".

But the saddest song ever is "Memories Of Old Days" by Gentle Giant. CryClapThumbs Up

Other great sad songs are:

King Crimson - Fallen Angel

Gentle Giant - Funny Ways

By the way, I don't think that Epitah is such a sad song... Ermm
Mesmo a tristeza da gente era mais bela
E além disso se via da janela
Um cantinho de céu e o Redentor

Like every other song on Anathema's "A Fine Day to Exit". Sheesh. Excuse me whilst I go weep.

X Japan were the masters of slightly depressing and very emotional ballads. They're all titled like classic love songs too. There's "Tears", "Forever Love", "Endless Rain", "Crucified By Love", and so on...see them on the album "The Last Live" for a thoroughly downlifting experience.

My current candidate for saddest song is KC's immortal "Starless"... not so much for the song itself (which is certainly not the most cheerful I've heard), but for the circumstances in which I last listened to it... on Saturday evening, at the twilight hour, while approaching an airport I won't mention for the time being.... Perhaps not really sad as in anything regarding the death of a loved one, but surely melancholy and poignant as that moment was for me.

Pink Floyd- The Gunner's Dream
 
The most moving song I've ever heard.
 
Of course the whole album nearly drove me to tears because of its emotional strength.
