The Civil War song "Lorena" was banned by leaders on both sides because, upon hearing it, soldiers, both blue and gray, would lay down their weapons and return to their homes.

It was just pointed out to me that it reflects the mental images of a dying soldier. That makes it doubly sad.

It ny be my naivety from living in a country without wars (or an army, for that matter), but that effect alone sounds to me like the opposite of sad.

Holy Cow !!! What a lot of emotion embedded in this thread !!!

So many great new songs you've shared - I think I have to piggyback off this thought for a new emotion....

This Mac Wiseman song has to rate near the top of the heap.

"The Letter Edged In Black"

In his 90s, Mac is still with us and still has his beautiful bluegrass tenor voice. My dad and I listened to Mac and his brother Scotty and Lulabelle on WSM's Grand Ole Opry 70+ years ago.

Another from my youth.

"The Baggage Coach Ahead"

Didn't see these in the thread. The first, Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby with Alison Krauss, used to be the saddest song/video I knew but a while back was replaced by Craig Morgan - This Ain't Nothin'

Definitely watch the videos for both

I wish I could share mine, but legally I can't.
I had the opportunity to work on a CD by a certain rapper.
He knew he was dying and the last stuff he wrote did bring tears to my eyes. Quite literally.
Could be that some of the very best of this genre never made it to the masses.
Sad.
In this particular case it was corporate greed that prevented it being released which is like kicking a corpse .. frown

/how's that for sad?

The answer to that was usually "Any song Eddie sings front on..."

This thread is like 5 years old.... And my answer was the same 5 years ago.

No apology needed. New to you is just fine with everybody. Your reply matters as much as any.

"Leader of the band" by Dan Fogelberg

I always have a hard time listening to this song because it perfectly pertains to my own dad.

What makes this song even sadder is the fact that Dan Fogelberg passed away from prostate cancer at the age of 56 years old. Very sad.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
