I mean, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" is like colourful balloons and dancing fairies compared to that

i have never heard Eric Claptons song, nor have i ever heard of him..

i suppose, i still find "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing" a sad song though

.

edit: i went on youtube, looked it up. i dont think it was the right one (Eric Clapton one), so if you could give me the link or somethin, a would apreciate it

In a aeroplane over a sea- neutral milk hotel. I have only cried to a song once at it was this one.

Kayleigh: Come on, really? That song is so syrupy and disgusting. It's the ultimate example of selling out by a band that had already sold out so much (remember the "Rockin' Roller Coaster?"). Not sad at all. It's trying too hard.

Well, it depends on how you define sad. Two of De Andre's songs that can be described as sad springs to mind, but they are totally different as far as sadness is concerned.

"Guerra di Piero" is a cold, almost cynical take on solitary death and regret, while "Sidun", (which is sung in Genoese) is more raw, lamenting and heartfelt.
