Sad songs they say so much

Filed under Uncategorized by jennifer o'callaghan at 4:47 pm

Erasing Clouds is working on a project in which 100 musicians will answer the same 10 questions. The first 10 are already online.

Check it out here.

My favorite query is the last one, what’s the saddest song you’ve ever heard? If I were a musician (and anyone who’s ever heard me sing in the car would agree I am not), my current pick for saddest song would have to be Anna Nalick’s "Breathe (2 a.m.)." It is quite sad in and of itself, but I also associate it with a very sad event in my life.

What about you folks in the peanut gallery?

Specnomenal.

I have a friend out in LA very much in the industry so I get tipped off to new artists and got the Nalick CD in advance of release... so good... the track by track is very on the music I enjoy as well... kinda if you are into that Tori Amos, Poe, Fiona Apple, and I should mention Poe again because I LOVE POE.

Nalick's "Breathe (2 a.m.)" has a significant meaning to me as well and when I think of the melancholy of that meaning... it is in deed... the perfect song.

My saddest song?

There is a band Dream Theater that I enjoy... and a song Anna Lee... personally sad, melancholy timbre... all goodness.

There is something really cathartic about a really good, just sob-into-your-tea sad song. Not too many do that for me. Nalick's "Paper Bag" song gets me, too, in a totally different way.

Also love Miss Apple and Miss Amos, but I have to admit I don't know Poe. Recommend some tracks and I will check out the tunes.
