Honestly give them a listen on YouTube sniff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Savage Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 'Last Goodbye' by Jeff Buckley sticks in my mind, but it does have personal connetations. And I usually don't like the band, but since I heard Midge Ure doing Ultravox's 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes' acoustically it gets me welling up all too easily.

Wil Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Sad and beautiful immediately makes me think of this stunning piece of music: Quite capable of moving me to tears that. And this. When the strings come in, the lyrics and the build up of emotion... ooof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckstop Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Elbow - Friend of Ours. So sad. It's about a friend of the band who died suddenly. The way Guy Garvey sings "Love you mate" brings tears to my eyes every time. Just 10 lines of the most incredible words. Before leaving, get to the bar No-one 'round here makes you pay. Never very good at goodbyes, So gentle shoulder charge Love you mate Salford skyline gloom Always you Could fly 'round any corner 'Til you do... Love you mate Also +1 for Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' Truckstop Edited December 18, 2010 by Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Not sure if this counts as sad or beautiful but the first time I listened to this 'unplugged' version of a song, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up; probably more so because it's patently just an impromptu performance.

Bassassin Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Some of my favourite miseryguts slash-wrists ditties: Love Song (For A Vampire) - Annie Lennox Black - Pearl Jam Script For A Jester's Tear - Marillion Chance - Big Country Lazarus - Porcupine Tree The Kick Inside - Kate Bush First Orgasm - Dresden Dolls Go & find them yourselves, you lazy gits.

EdwardHimself Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Ok I know this is a really obvious one but to be fair, I can play it on the piano! This is the new version of this song featuring the Lacuna Coil singer Christina Scabbia (I could tell that just from listening to her ). The original is awesome as well.

Count Bassy Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) 'Hang on to a dream', Tim hardin - but there are a lot of crap versions out there (not keen on his own even). Roger Chapman's version is a cracker. Here's a link [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fepc8z1Wqcs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fepc8z1Wqcs[/url] Actually, 'Reason to Believe' is also quite sad.
