Songs that make you all flipping melancholy 22:37 - Nov 24 with 14710 viewsqprxtc



There’s a musicologist out there somewhere that will name the chords and reasons why this makes me yearn for a hanky.

Gordon Bennett, emotions are strong in this one.

As they are in this bastard



F uck a duck. Melon Collie. You bastard.

From easy come and easy go,
Now you're not so carefree.
You found the thorn behind the rose,
You took it, oh, so badly.
Lost inside yourself,
You've gotta break out soon.
You've gotta try again
To hear a brand new tune.
Once easy come and easy go,
You just hear sad notes lately.
You used to fly and chase the wind,
I don't know you lately.
Don't take it, oh, so bad,
Things are gonna change.
Don't make it, oh, so sad,
The sun will shine again.
Please don't lock me out,
What's it all about?
I'll change it all completely.
Won't you let me in,
Don't you need a friend?
If I…

Two pages and no one had yet mentioned this??

The song by itself is melancholy enough, but add in the video... *sobs*

Think Johnny died not long after making the video.



JC didn't write the lyrics to 'Hurt' It was written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, there's quite an eerie story about that song and how It was written.

Death Letter Blues by Son House;

I got a letter this mornin'
I say now, how do y'all reckon it read?
I said I got a letter this mornin'
I say now, how do y'all reckon it read?

It said, "Hurry, hurry!"
"'Cause the girl you love is dead"

You know, I grabbed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
I grabbed up my suitcase
And yeah, I took off down the road

You know when I got there
She's layin' on a coolin' board
Well, I walked up right close
And I looked down in her face

Yeah, ooh
Yeah, I looked down in her face

You know she was good ol' gal
She got to lay here 'til the Judgment Day

Well, it looked like ten thousand people
Was standin' round the buryin' ground
Yeah, looked like it was ten thousand people
They were standin' round the buryin' ground

You know I didn't know that I loved her
Until they began to let her down

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

You want to hear real heartbreak listen to Johnny singing Evening Train its stunning.
He did not write it (Hank Williams I think ) but hearing it after his wife died crushed me .
He always wanted to die before her but she went first .He was quoted after she died "the pain of her being gone is more than I can stand ".
4 months later he died of a broken heart

Wonderful, funky riff, with a marvellous trill, but the lyrics...so powerful. I want this played at my funeral.

In another life
You might have been a genius
In another life
You might have been a star
In another life
Your face might have been perfect
In another life
You'd drive a better car

In another life
All your jokes are funny
In another life
Your heart is free from fear
In another life
You make a lot of money
In this other life
Everything is clear

In another life
You're always the hero
In another life
You always win the game
In another life
No one ever cheats you
In another life
You never have to change

In another life
Your friends never desert you
In another life
You never have to cry
In another life
No one ever hurts you
In this other life
Your loved-ones never die

But this is the life you have
This is the life you have
This is the life you have
This is the life

In another life
You're always the victim
In another life
You're always the thief
In another life
You are always lonely
In this other life
There is no relief

In your real life
Treat it like it's special
In your real life
Try to be more kind
In your real life
Think of those that love you
In this real life
Try to be less blind

Great choice that. I love that album and that song is the highlight. The key change at the end always gets me.

And another one, but this is because of the associations more than anything else. It was playing in our house at university when we had to kick the door down to get to my friend who had taken an overdose of pills and was lying under his desk on the floor and while we waited for the ambulance. It seemed to be stuck on repeat. I'm thinking of him now especially, because he got married, moved to Stockholm, and has two kids, but yesterday afternoon he became a widower.

I was thinking about posting Barber's Adagio for Strings which R_from_afar has posted, although I wondered if it was too long (the version R_from_afar posted is 9 minutes long, Leonard Bernstein's version is even longer at 10 minutes).

Many Burt Bacharach/Hal David 60s compositions have that bittersweet blueish sound:

You're right TacticalR. Bacharach and David definitely had a certain melancholy about their work. This song always made me feel sad as it would remind me of the girls I could never get a date with!

Yes dmm, we could probably do a whole thread on Bacharach and David's mixture of pop, easy listening, optimism, sadness and heartbreak...

LA is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas
