The Saddest Song Ever

This one is easy. I have listened to a lot of sad music lately. My son actually insisted I stop listening to this one because he claimed it made me more sad...

Scene In A Dream, Kevin Kern

Endless Blue Sky

I've featured this song before. It is absolutely the saddest song I have ever heard.
I just love the expressive trumpet in this song.

Here's that Rainy Day, Chris Botti

It's a bit crazy that beauty and sorrow are so closely connected, don't you think?; November 1, 2011 at 5:40 PM

The Candle

"Turned inward, turned upon himself, brutally cut off from the light side of the Force, he husbanded his flame. Drew upon the lessons of every Jedi who had taught him...

He saw himself a candle. He saw himself behind a wall. Brick by brick he tried to raise it. Brick by brick it was destroyed...

But fear leads to anger, and anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. Which means the dark side wins. So he husbanded his flame. Brick by brick he built his wall. Because the alternative was surrender.

And no one ever taught him that."
