Another Day In Paradise by Phil Collins. Over 329 Million YouTube views. It's about how society and governments do nothing to help the homeless living on the streets, so the title is sarcastic.

 

One of the rare occasions that a cover is better than the original.

 

This one is definetly not about love.

And also this classic

 

simple motifs can be really sad.

Just the title is enough
"If Anyone Tells Me ''It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Than To Never Have Loved At All'', I Will Stab Them The Face"

 

The older I get the sadder this song makes me.

 

Not the saddest but the song that puts me on a level of melancholy of 100%...not only because of her beautifull voice...also because I simply love this woman...She was the most beautifull one and had something really special! Soooo sweet!Simply look at her eyes and her smile when she finished the song and says "Hi" .... Everytime I see this scene, I again fall in love!

BTW...If some of you guys out there know a woman like her, give her my profile link here or give me her adress..I will travel around the whole world! No Problem!

This one is definitely about lack of love. Mutual lack of love.

 

I dont think so...its about the tristess and dullness of our lifes.

For all of those who understand german. Here is an article about this song. Very very interesting.

maybe its also understandable in the translated version.

All these things are the lack of love. From us, to us. If we don't love and aren't loved we are sad, dull, we dream about a nuclear bomb etc., etc., etc.

Morrissey is a singer of love. That's why most of his songs are about a lack of love (there are many sorts of it).

This one is about lack of love too, but not sad. It's possible.

This one is about an excess of love.

There are many sorts of this excess too, indeed.

 

I know...I'm a big fan of the Smiths and Morrissey. But for "Everyday is like sunday" read the article I linked to. The google translation is good as far as I read.

 

This great and almost experimental band is more about self-destruction but definitely very sad and explicit:
Therapy - Knives

And this is kind of OT but I'm sure you guys will excuse me:

 

Earth Song by Michael Jackson and Heal The World by Michael Jackson

 

This is a beautiful song!

 

Why do we build the wall?

 

The long way home... frome the partyyy... give me some destraction now...

 

Gotta drop a few more...

13 minutes of your life you're unlikely to regret except for asking yourself WTF am I doing as a musician when something this beautiful exist...
