Thread Name: The Saddest Song of All
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
Four people so far have mentioned "There Were Roses." The first time I heard it was in a session. This guy who I'd never met before was there and had to leave, so he asked if he could do a song. I expected a decent song from a decent singer. He stood up and started singing this song, and it wasn't long before it was so quiet, you could hear people breathe. He finished, and it was a good long while before anyone started playing again. I was trying to discretely wipe the tears away. Then I looked around and saw a few other people doing the same thing.

Kat, where did Wolfgang put the link?
