Although "Daniel" from "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only The Piano Player" is the saddest-for-me Elton John Song (possibly due to personal family events we were experiencing back then), "Blues For Baby And Me" off the same album always stuck me as melancholy. As did "Rocket Man," also by John/Taupin.
Sad songs- We love them- We need them
Hello everyone,
I was listening the other day to a sad song on my playlist and realized their ability to invoke a powerful emotional reaction. Usually about someone in your life. Your children, your special lady or man or maybe someone who is no longer living. I realized we need these songs to remind us life is short and to remember what is most important to us. I thought I would ask everyone to list a song or two that is special to them. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a sad song. I have children so I will start with a few songs that remind me to tell them I love them more often or give them an extra hug or two.
