Saddest like, "that's the saddest song I've ever heard.".
Not like, "that's the saddest excuse for a song I've ever heard.". |

Are you sure?
Me? I'd say the hymn Amazing Grace, not because it is so sad, but because of the memories it envokes. It actually is a glorious song. I wanted to play it at my Mom's funeral....Couldn't pull myself together long enough to pull it off.

Got to play the Todd Agnew version of Amazing Grace at a "Life Celebration" acoustically a few months back. Its an off shoot that contains the jist of the song with some updates to tempo and technique.
Try a variation to get through it. |

| The saddest song is "Mull of Kyntire" - this is a guy who wrote Eleanor Rigby and Yesterday and is reduced to the worst drivel ever put on vinyl.
So, so sad. And we won't go near "Just another silly love song" and the frog thing. |

Location: Atlanta, GA. | Speaking of "Amazing Grace",
I once heard a guy sing it to the tune of "Ghost Riders in the Sky"...
Still don't know why.
Well, there was alcohol involved! |

Location: Westchester, NY | I always thought torch songs were amoung the saddest, like;
"Sylvia's Mother" by Dr. Hook
"Seperate ways" by Journey
"Total eclipse of the heart" by Bonnie Tyler
Also the ones which make life pointless like;
"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas, amazing song but read the lyric |
