"Ohio" is a sad song? Hm. I've always disliked it as one of MM's
"silly" songs and thus I rarely if ever listen to it.
Don't know what's been mentioned since I just subscribed to th' list
(er, hello), but the most sad songs I can immediately think of are,
let's see:
Bedhead, "The Rest of the Day" (When it gets to the part where he sings
"and I'm sure we could see ourselves rolling in ?the kiss? as the cars
move back and forth hitting the holes in the streets...", that just
kills me.)
Neutral Milk Hotel, "Two Headed Boy Pt. 2", "Oh Comely" (duh)
Transvision Vamp, "Twangy Wig-Out"
Labradford, "Dulcimers played by Peter Neff. Strings played" (Like a
post-rock "Chariots of Fire". "Chariots of Ash", if you will.)
Smog, "You Moved In"
Cat Power, "Colors and the Kids"
Swans, "Helpless Child"
Slowdive, "Alison"
Everything by Godspeed You Black Emperor!, of course.
Legendary Pink Dots, "I Love You in Your Tragic Beauty"
Bardo Pond, "Tommy Gun Angel"
etc...
