Sad Songs Say So Much
“Pick the six saddest songs you can think of, list the titles, and pick what you think is the saddest line from each.”
1. Archipelago – Mirah
“I’m in the Arichipelago and
I’m waiting to arrive.
I’m in the Arichipelago and I
know I’m still alive.
You finally told me what you had
been thinking for so long.
And it breaks my heart wide open
but I know that I’ll be stronger
next time.”
2. Grand Canyon – Magnetic Fields
“If I was the Grand Canyon I’d echo everything you’d say, but I’m just me, I’m only me and you used to love me that way. So you know how to love me that way.”
3. Sad as a Willow – (my friends) Carrie & Richard
Listen for yourself. It’s about Willow and Tara breaking up on Buffy and it breaks my heart every time I hear it.
“Oh baby! I’d like you to know that I love you now, now I love you more and I’ll change for you all that is bad, keep throwing it away until the day you take my hand. Be my girl again. But, I know, you’ll never be my girl”
4. Biggest Lie – Elliott Smith
“You turned white like a saint. I’m tired of dancing on a pot of gold-flaked paint. Oh we’re so very precious, you and I. And everything that you do makes me want to die. Oh I just told the biggest lie. I just told the biggest lie. The biggest lie”
5. Please, Please, Please Let me Get What I Want – The Smiths
Really, I think the title speaks for itself.
6. Let Down – Radiohead
“Transport, motorways and tramlines,
starting and then stopping,
taking off and landing,
the emptiest of feelings,
disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
and when it comes it’s so, so, disappointing.Let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.”
