The most tear-jacking saying goodbye songs

[Newc]

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

Can't really say I seek out such songs. I prefer not to dwell on loss and mourning. That way lies madness.

How about Bon Jovi's "Never Say Goodbye." I remember many years ago a friend worked at a local college radio station during the mid 80's. He said that one day he got a request for this song from a guy who wanted it dedicated to his girlfriend who had just been killed in a car accident. He said that the whole station crew just sat there in silence and had tears in their eyes when the song played. Since then, I don't know why, but everytime I hear that song, I think of that story.

Wow, thats a really good song. That guy has fantastic vocal tone. Do their other songs sound like that?

[outsider666]

They have a few others like that, Skalds and Shadows comes to mind. Hansi's voice is a big part of why Blind Guardian has been my favorite band for about a decade now.

You should hear The Tangent - In Earnest from their c.d. "A Place in the Queue". A very good album.

+1000

Knowing the tragic reason why that song was written, it amazed me that Clapton could perform it live without breaking up.

If anyone's too young to remember, have to be some young'ns here, Clapton's 4 year old son fell like 50 stories to his death from a NY city apartment window.

"When's its love" by Van Hagar..it brings tears to my eyes...because it's so fuggin' gay.

Once they were a band that wrote songs like "Light up the sky"..:think:

This is just too sad to talk about..I need a tissue and change my tampon. Look at me..I'm cryin'..like a chick!
