oh my god! i have to stop posting on this topic. i'm starting to embarrass
myself. but this just made me think of the "viva tristeza" cd pedro
alomodovar put out calling it "the inspiration for 'talk to her'" all of
those songs are just killers. the lowest, saddest, most gutwrenching track on
it is called "me quedo contigo" and for those who don't speak spanish its "i
stay with you" by Ana D. i think that mix cd is about to get burned.


matt... again...



Quoting paok <bluefreaky AT EARTHLINK.NET>:

Billie Holiday ranks up there too--she can totally break your heart in songs like "you've changed" or "i'll be seeing you"

barbara manning's version of "these days"
costello's "almost blue"

and have any of you heard the soundtrack to "the double life of veronique"? it's a Kieslowski film--the music is very haunting, for when you're feeling depressed and melodramatic, unlike "unsatisfied", for when you're frustrated and sad. actually, i think that song is more angsty and angry than sad--i used to like to play that song very, very loud on the tape player of my car and drive around.

now i play "the coup" instead

"Song to the Siren" by This Mortal Coil

Also, I second the Replacements' "Unsatisfied."

Recently: "Empty Cans" by The Streets has brought me
to tears.

And Johnny Cash can (OK, could) sing just about
anything and it's the saddest possible sound you've
heard...
