Sad and Beautiful songs...

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'

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. :)

It's about a ghost watching his former girlfriend copping off with another bloke on his grave, or thereabouts.

And ...

'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.

Actually, 'Reason to Believe' is also quite sad.
