I Know Sad Bastards

Music post!!!

I just received an e-mail from my BF4EVA, Ms. Bee, asking me what my top ten saddest songs are. Initially, I thought I would need to take some time to think about it but knew of a couple off the top of my head. Well, as it turns out, I know some saaaad bastards. In fact, a good-sized chunk of my music library is constituted of sad bastards. So, sharing my list of top ten saddest songs came much more quickly and easily than I'd originally thought it would. And now I'm going to share it with y'all.

Colette's Top Ten Saddest Songs
In no particular order...


  • Chicken Wire by The Pernice Brothers
  • L'il Wallet Picture by Richard Buckner
  • In a Ditch by Scud Mountain Boys
  • Upward Over the Mountain by Iron and Wine
  • Lost Cause by Beck
  • Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
  • I See a Darkness by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
  • This Night Has Opened My Eyes by The Smiths
  • Leavin' on a Jet Plane by Peter, Paul and Mary
  • Go Down Easy by Dan Fogelberg


I can think of several honorable mentions, but will save them for another post. Besides, I don't need y'all to think I sit around listening to sad sack tunes ALL the time.
