saddest song you ever heard?

[miaedu]

Here are two songs by the most philosophical rock band of all time…


Everybody's Happy Nowadays Buzzcocks


I Believe
Buzzcocks




'In these times of contention, it's not my intention to make things plain/I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine/I'm losing control, now, I'll just have to slow down a thought or two/I can't feel the future, and I'm not even certain that there is a past…'
.

I love Pete

Sometimes MBV


'Sometimes/Feel me now/I don't know how/You could not love me now/You will know/With her feet down to the ground/Over there/And I want true love to grow/You can't hide/Oh, no, from the way I feel…'
.

One of the most underrated and influential bands EVER.

There'll Be Sad Songs To Make You Cry

For sure! (Though, except for The Little Drummer Boy, it's not the Chipmunks!) Thanks, BTW, for the compliments, miaedu, I'm glad you liked my choices, but MBV and Pete Shelley (and band) make me think and reflect, rather than cry – even as I dance around the room. This is some serious, hard rocking shit!

'Most philosophical band of all time…' did I say about the Buzzcocks?

Then, I'm talking whole, new levels of existential angst in these next, few songs…


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_RtJO2q5lE&fmt=18"]I Don't Mind Buzzcocks[/ame]


'Reality's a dream/A game in which I seem/To never find out just what I am/I don't know if I'm an actor or ham/A shaman or sham/But if you don't mind/I don't mind/I'm lost without a clue/So, how can I undo/The tangle of these webs I keep weaving/I don't know if I should be believing/Deceptive perceiving/But if you don't mind/I don't mind/I used to bet that you didn't care/But gambling never got me anywhere/Each time I used to feel so sure/Something about you made me doubt you more…'

And two from the album Love Bites…


[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWEYzhJc5sA&fmt=18"]Nostalgia Buzzcocks[/ame]


'About the future, I only can reminisce/For what I've had is what I'll never get/And, although this may sound strange/My future and my past are presently disarranged/And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come…/I look, I only see what I don't know/All that was strong, invincible, is slain/Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine/And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time/With this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come…/Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come…'
