Re: The Saddest Music in the World
I first heard this song in one of my favorite TV shows, Carnivàle:


And two more versions:


Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: The Saddest Music in the World
I have "Place to be" as one of my favorite song some time ago Good to listen to it again.

Hm..I definitely like Ruth Etting version best, it is more melancholy.

Here is an old one in my "Sad Song" list.

"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."

Re: The Saddest Music in the World
I like both the music and the cover of Playground Love.

Not sure if anyone posted a Ryuichi Sakomoto's piece before, but this one is my favorite

A song Efrim wrote for his dog Wanda, who died while on tour.

Re: The Saddest Music in the World

- I for one was never put in mind of Donner Party scenarios or wendigo/zombies during the many times I've listened to this, but it's an interesting interpretation.
