Starless is one of the few songs that really sends shivers down my
spine. Absolutely beautiful. Just the way that it meanders through this
jazzy stagnant plinking wasteland of sound only to wrench your heart
out by returning to the fantastically sad minor melodies with full
force. GAH! Now I've gotta go listen again . . .

Can anyone remember Brian & Michael's:
MATCHSTALK MEN AND MATCHSTALK CATS AND DOGS
It was no1 for 3 weeks in 1978 and I was 12. I distinctly remembered getting weepy when the following verse was reached:
This tired old man with hair like snow
Told northern folk its time to go
The fever came and the good lord mopped his brow.
I must have been a very peculiar boy.
More recently, the last line of disc 1, The Lamb Lies Down:
I'd give you all of my dreams , if you'd help me,
Find a door
That doesn't lead me back again
- take me away.

Great choice. I think that is easily the best song Phil Collins ever wrote in Genesis and on a hugely underrated album! Out of interest, does anyone remember the interview the band gave at the time the album came out in 1979? Phil said that they tried to get EWF Horns on the album but couldn't arrange it in time. Phew - how lucky was that!?

Absolutely. Written by Ian Jennings after his mother lost a long battle against illness. Heroes Never Die too; this was Bryan Josh's tribute to his late father. Both beautiful sad songs.

I have to go with Ready to go home by Asia on the Aura album.
I also agree with Don't Give up, and Epitaph. Very moving songs.

Space-Dye Vest - Dream Theater *Kevin Moore's Masterpiece, esp not good to listen to when someone's telling you through the internet they never really liked you.....learned from experience*
Hey You- Pink Floyd *reeeeally depressing*
Televators- The Mars Volta- Many may argue its not a sad song, but get with it folks, its about a guy jumping off a bridge. Read into it.
Time- Pink Floyd *come to think of it....all of their stuffs kinda depressing*
Start of Something Beautiful- Porcupine Tree *again somewhat arguable but experience comes into this yet again*
