Taps is the saddest musical piece out there imo.

She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head

So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

The backstory to the album this is from is interesting:

 

According to Wilson, the concept album is written from a female perspective, and the concept and story are inspired by the case of Joyce Carol Vincent, where a woman living in a large city dies in her apartment and no one misses her for over two years, despite her having family and friends.

TY.  I've always said, if I wrote well enough, I'd write a book, or at least an essay, of how well she handled her illness and death.  

 

But really, my "grief theme song" was Garth Brooks-The Dance. It fits with the theme of the thread.

 

 

I could have missed the pain,

but I'd have missed the dance.

 

I shudder thinking I'd could have missed that dance.

 

Now....

 

back to our regularly scheduled collection of sad song dance music!

 

 

I will cry to this song because of a friends suicide. Sad and mad, happy and resentful, glad I knew him but wished I never did. It wasn't fair but it's what he chose. I'll never get over it.
