Thread Name: The Saddest Song of All
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
"First Christmas" by Stan Rogers, the most depressing Christmas song written since "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot".

I think "Dark-Eyed Molly" by Archie Fisher a quite sad love song, but a very beautiful one.

Kate Rusby from England seems to specialize in melancholy songs, like "Annan Water." Indeed I am worried when one so young specializes in such tunes.
