I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

Posted: 12/24/05 at 3:35pmAlec Wilder's "Did you Ever Cross Over to Snedens?" is one of the saddest songs I know. Andrea Marcovicci recorded it on her Mabel Mercer album.

I'd also like to add:
Danny Boy (the best recording is on a CD called "Celtic Women")
You Raise Me Up (see above...screw that Josh Groban crap)
Truly, Madly, Deeply-Savage Garden
Remember Me This Way-Jordan Hill
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Posted: 12/25/05 at 10:14pmMaybe it's just me, but the Finale Ultimo from Camelot is so...well, it's sad, but it's something else I can't put my finger on. Hopeful, almost.

OOOOO O O O O OO OO OO OOO OOO, I almost forgot!!
YOU HAVE to check out Regina Spektor. She is very new, but so good. I need to get her CD.
http://www.reginaspektor.com
You can hear clips and watch her music video. She has a different, but AMAZING voice! HEr songs, even when happy, make me want to cry. They are so light and summer like. It makes me think of that time of the day when the sun is stting and that orange hue is over everything and it is cool, but warm in the sun.
so good. I LOVE this thread, thank you for starting it! And I am glad you enjoy Tori Amos!

Posted: 12/26/05 at 1:00amThe saddest song I've ever heard is "Jane Fakes a Hug" by The Wrens, which is about the breakup of a marriage. Also, Elliott Smith's entire catalogue is laden with beatiful/achingly sad songs.

Let That Be Enough is really beautiful, I think. By Jars of Clay and Switchfoot. It was Disney movie, I think.
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word - Elton John and Blue.
In the Arms of an Angel - Sarah McLachlan (Her voice is just so depressing ANYWAY)
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Lots of good Korean songs too. Lee Soo Young has some great songs.
And there is this one song (translated, it means Fatal Poison), but it's just SO great.
This is my signature.

"Beautiful Girl" (Poe)
"Spanish Doll" (Poe)
"A Sorta Fairytale" (Tori Amos)
"Gold Dust" (Tori Amos)
"Seven Years" (Natalie Merchant)
"Full of Grace" (Sarah McLachlan) -- umm, basically you can get away with ANYTHING by her if you're looking for beautiful/sad...except for "Ice Cream". that's a happy song.
"That I Would Be Good" (Alanis Morissette) -- methinks the live version from the MTV acoustic show is better than the studio recording
"Deep Water" (Jewel)
"Frozen" (Madonna)
"Isobel" (Dido)
"0% Interest" (Jason Mraz)
"Plane" (Jason Mraz)
"Complainte De La Butte" (Rufus Wainwright)
