Hi everybody!
The Chicago Tribune has run a few stories listing what various people have described as the saddest songs. #Here are links to some of the discussions:

Since I dug the murder song list, I thought I would throw this out to the rest of the mando community. #Here are my sad songs:
500 miles (the campfire one, not The Proclaimers)
Walk Away Renee (Left Banke, but Rickie Lee JOnes also does a pretty sad version)
The saddest genre? #For me it has to be the mournful gypsy minor key dirge with extensive dolorous violin bringing everybody down.
"Seasons In The Sun" which is listed in the Trib articles isn't even close...
