Thread Name: The Saddest Song Ever written
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song Ever written
Context obviously adds to the effect. I had boght the single of Drive (by the Cars???) before Live Aid as she liked the song. It was only when it was used against video images that it made me weep like a bucket.

Context again, Tears in Heaven, Eric Clapton.

Recent thread reminded me that the phrase, "no mammies kisses and no daddie's smiles", in Nobody's child can set me off.

I welled up listening yesterday to Matt McGInn singing Q4 about the sense of pride and identity that Glasgow as a city was once able to take from the ships they built and sent to sea.
