Well...I must jump in on this thread.
Whoever gave out props to "Think(let tomorrow bee)" by SeBADoh is dead on as
far as sad, lovelorn songs go. There are a few others that need
mentions...maybe someone will go out and check them out.
The first is "Have You Forgotten" by Red House Painters(although you could
pick several of Kozelek's songs).
Secondly, Wilco's "The Lonely 1" from the double LP Being There.
Thirdly, as cliche as it may sound, rock supergroup R.E.M. has a song called
"Everybody Hurts" which I'm sure all of you kids have heard...and as I'm
sure none of you want to admit, is a very good sad, lovelorn song.
Lastly, there is a song which I can guarantee many of you have never heard
called "Left Behind" by For Squirrels. The song is a lonely piano dirge
ballad by the band made famous by the song "Mighty K.C."(Kurt) and the
tragic death of their lead singer in a car accident. The song is on their
first album which is long out of print, entitled "Baypath Rd." If you can
track down a copy of this album, I strongly recommend it. At sometime I may
find a way to encode it into an mp3...though my copy is pretty crappy and
worn.
Alright...that's it for me...and there are so many more heartbroken songs
out there...
