Prog's Sad Lyrics

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Phantom Of The Night by Kayak has very sad lyrics and the song actually brings sadness to my life. My good friend ...during my teen years..slipped on the ice upon the deck of a ship and fell into the Atlantic ocean. He plunged into freezing waters and died. But..the song just kills me because my mind drifts back to the memory of my friend who was like a brother to me. The lyrics of the song match my experience. It's very defeating to think of that tragic incident. I remember Jack Nicholson in the Witches Of Eastwick saying "Yeah well, people die all the time...I mean what does it have to do with us?"

	Some may debate its appropriateness for this forum, but I suggest "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles. It's my favorite Beatle song, and I think it's the very definition of loneliness. It's also one of the most progressive things the Beatles ever wrote.

	The lyrics to Balloon Astronomy's "One Summer" are heartbreakingly sad. I can't find them on the Internet anywhere so you'll just have to get the album.

	He had white horses And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door Oooh, what a lucky man he was Oooh, what a lucky man he was White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was laid Oooh, what a lucky man he was Oooh, what a lucky man he was He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing Oooh, what a lucky man he was Oooh, what a lucky man he was A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died Oooh, what a lucky man he was Oooh, what a lucky man he was
