What is the saddest song ever written?



It's difficult to determine the saddest song ever written as the perception of sadness can vary from person to person based on their experiences and emotions. However, there are some songs that are widely considered to be very sad and emotionally moving.
One of the most commonly cited sad songs is "Gloomy Sunday," also known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song." It was written in 1933 by Hungarian composer Rezső Seress, and its mournful melody and lyrics about depression and suicide have been linked to numerous suicides over the years.
Other songs that are often considered very sad include "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton, which was written after the death of his young son; "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M., which is about feelings of loneliness and despair; and "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song that deals with regret and the end of life.
Ultimately, the saddest song ever written is a matter of personal interpretation and can vary from person to person.

How about being sad because a family member in Oz mentions twin poles and then another mentions frosty fruits and you live in a country that doesn't sell either and it's a hot day..

 

[Goroyals22]

Pretty sure it was the first reply.

Oh well… it deserved its second mention

I've always found Metallica's Fade to Black quite sad until I remember Hetfield wrote it after someone stole his favourite amp.

I missed the sad song bit.

I can't listen to this at all. From my childhood.

Frosty fruits are actually the Rolls-Royce of icy poles!

Well it was last month because they suggested I rewatch it

Maybe a different country thing!

 

[Truckosaurus]

Nah, I just checked and I can't find it there either - maybe someone else snatched it up for the Succession link. It'd been there for a few years.

 

[Mop]

I was just going through the old return the wings thread, I had no idea QS wasn't with us anymore. Properly tragic - dude was the instigator of the whole movement!

The footpath walking overtake is super awkward. This is something that needs to be addresses in legislation.

The worst ones are when the pace of the person in front is about 0.1kph slower than you, so you either get stuck behind them within touching distance of their back like a stalker, or you pull out to overtake them and end up basically walking alongside them for ten minutes.

What if I told you that you’re allowed to up your pace slightly so you can move past them and increase the gap between you both

Or they're walking with a friend , then you have to be annoyed at 2 of the kents!

I walk laps of a lake near my house each evening, loud Russians on mobiles really do my head in..

And it's a colleague that is walking to the same building, so you have to kind of slowly over take them, acknowledge them and then get in front and keep the pace up to put distance between you before reverting back to your 0.1km greater pace.
