What do you play when you are feeling low; I mean when you feel real low,
what's your sad songs?
I play an instrumental (Watermelon on Easter Hay) 9 minutes long, its not relatively sad, but used to make love with someone I miss dearly with this playing in the back ground
what's your sad song / music |

I try to avoid sad songs when I'm in a sad mood as it makes it worse.
Carry you Home - James Blunt
How do I Live - Leann Rimes
Remind me of two special people I've lost.

Do you mean Watermelon in Easter Hay? (The full title is "Trying to play a guitar solo with this band, is like trying to grow a watermelon in Easter Hay" very few of even the geekiest of Zappa geeks know this).
A delightful piece - apart from the superb playing, demonstrating how a simple phrase can be developed and layered without getting boring or sounding repetitive, even though it repeats throughout, if you aren't a musician it's easy to miss the weird time signature. It alternates between standard 4/4 and 5/4, or it's in 9/8, however you want to call it, yet it flows so beautifully. |

Yes  Watermelon in Easter hay; used to make love endlessly with this playing loud in the background
4 minutes in the guitar really kicks off, blows my mind today same as it did 30 years ago
Play loud |

I'd almost forgot about Watermelon In Easter Hay! I tried getting into some Frank Zappa stuff, not that much stuck but I loved that song.
Only 3-4 songs have ever made me cry but last night a friend linked me to a show Amanda Palmer played last night (streamed live, with guests including Anna Calvi who's a genius), I'm barely familiar with any of her stuff but thought I'd watch - she played Bigger On The Inside, about the then-recent death of two close friends and at several points it was too much of a struggle to hold back the tears  You could see her doing the same, heh. A very good song though, beautiful :] |

As with happy songs I have list as long as my arm. As I've been getting over my last relationship I've found I can't listen to Led Zeppelin or My Dying Bride without tearing up. We bonded over those two bands when we met and songs Tangerine or That's The Way really get to me |

"Elgar's Cello Concerto.
Especially in the late autumn for some reason."
Good shout. The first time I played it in an (amateur) orchestra, I started getting teary in the first movement - that famous bit when the cello does this amazing crescendo and the orchestra comes piling in as the soloist reaches the highest note.
When I'm really down, only classical or old soul records really cut the mustard.
It got mentioned in another thread the other day, but think it'd be Barber's Adagio for Strings for me. They played it at the Proms a few days after 9-11. Amazingly emotional. |

Aye. The solo cello is so plaintive at the beginning.
Gorecki's Symphony 3 used to really get me too(not played it in a while).
WOW for you to have been part of it though!
i find Mozart's Requiem a bit disturbing n all.

Sublime.
Jacqueline du Pré - Elgar - Cello Concerto in E minor, Op 85
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOzatzJEnSo
It was Elgar's last major piece and he'd suffered from writer's/composer's block for a number of years previous. It was written shortly after the end of WWI.

She was amazing Joe.
Actually - my sad piece is actually the Brahms Requiem. The whole thing. I'm not a big Brahms-head, but I adore it.
When I'm right in the depths, it's the one piece that makes sense to me and bring solace. comfort and hope).
This is a truly beautiful performance of it (it's over an hour, so It's daft posting it really, but "what the hell")!
