There's some gems in here I recognize many, but some of these are brand new to me. Looking forward to listening to some of these when I get a moment.
Cheers, Deryk

Whiskey Lullaby, Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. I don;t know if it's the saddest song I've ever heard but it is the saddest song in my repertoire. My wife requests that I do not sing it anymore but I still do.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Boy, I cry very easily over music, so that would be a looong list if I allowed myself to go there (starting with one of mine, made after the loss of my teenage love from bone cancer). I could mention nearly everything from the Moulin Rouge film, same goes for Les Miserables from practically start to finish (Castle in the Clouds just crumbles me, as does On My Own), or a truckload of icelandic songs that wouldn't mean anything to you. Because, you know, for this concept context is absolutely everything! There are upbeat songs I cannot bare to listen to because of how they remind me of something/someone or other, case in point. p.s. Your thread just reminded me I've been meaning to make a playlist on youtube for ages based on this very concept... I guess haven't had the courage to actually go through with it yet.

According to Qi (my favourite TV show) there actually exists a documented "Most depressing song of our times", a song that has the highest documented suicides associated directly with this song! It's even often referred to as "the Hungarian suicide song" It's called "Gloomy Sunday"... but I won't provide a link, I don't want that risk on my conscience

We do Dolly Parton's "Jolene" at a much slower speed (78bpm) and it's a tearjerker.

After all is said and done probably the most depressing sad song would be "Somebody Please Kill Me" from the "Wedding Singer". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTnq268y2ms..sung by Adam Sandler. C.Dan

Ebony Eyes by the Everly Brothers whilst it is beautiful doesn’t fill one with joy.
Honey by Bobby Goldsboro brings a tear also (especially when I do it. I’m not sure if it the song or my effort (and ultimate destruction of the song)).
Tony.

"Oh My Darling Clementine" has a happy sounding melody but when you listen to the lyrics it is sad and depressing. Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner, forty-niner And his daughter, Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Light she was and like a fairy And her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses Sandals were for Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Drove she ducklings to the water Ev'ry morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine
Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles, soft and fine But, alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine
How I missed her! How I missed her How I missed my Clementine But I kissed her little sister I forgot my Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorry, Clementine

We do St. Patrick's Day parties once a year. Sometimes as many as 5 of them. Molly Malone died of the fever and her ghost roams the waterfront. Danny Boy is going off to war and if he makes it home alive, his dad will be dead and he wants Danny to visit his grave and say a prayer. There are more. I guess they are the Irish-American version of The Blues. I do like playing Patty Parties, the people are in good spirits and it's a dependable time for gigging. So those songs aren't so sad to me.

Hi What about "Nobody's Child" is a song written by Cy Coben and Mel Foree. It was first recorded by Hank Snow in 1949 and it became one of his standards, although it did not chart for him. In 1969 Karen Young took the song to #6 on the UK charts and used it as the title track on her album. In 1969 Hank Williams Jr. did a version of it that made it to #46 on the US Country charts. The Traveling Wilburys' 1990 version made it to #44 on the UK charts. The song lyrics are about an orphan whom no one wants to adopt because he is blind: Stay sad. but keep smiling Mike

Stay sad. but keep smiling I definitely feel like this is what this thread is about. It amazes me to see how people are moved by sad music, what they consider sad, and how it impacts them. Sometimes we need sad songs to feel like we aren't the only ones out there feeling the things that we do. It's a great way to connect.
Cheers, Ember

I think one of the saddest songs is David Allan Coe's version of Steve Goodman's song, "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" (AKA the perfect country and western song). I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison, And I went to pick her up in the rain, But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck, She got run over by a damned ol' train.

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."
