Das traurigste geht nicht, aber es gibt eine Reihe sehr zu Herzen gehender Stücke natürlich:

Mama liked the roses da braucht man ja nix mehr dazu zu sagen, welch eine Story..."Mama mochte die Rosen"...am Ende weiß man, dass diese auf ihrem Grab stehen...

Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone and all the roses dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so
But if he come and all the roses dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
He'll come here and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ava there for me
And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me

Until it`s time for you to go

You're not a dream
You're not an angel
You're a woman
I'm not a king,
I'm a man,
Take my hand
We'll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why,
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever,
Love me now
This love of mine
Had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak,
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And tho' I'll never
In my life see you again
I still stay
Until it's time for you to go


Wenn man dieses Lied auf Elvis bezieht, also ich stelle mir Elvis vor der in einer anderen Welt lebt als das Mädchen, das vielleicht eine Nacht mit ihm in Suite des Hotels verbracht hat und er singt ihr dieses bittersüße Lied...Diese meine Liebe sie hat keinen Anfang und kein Ende...Frag nicht warum...Ich bleibe hier bei Dir, bis es Zeit wird für Dich zu gehen...Das mag anders gemeint sein und interpretierbar, aber das ist das Bild was ich vor mir sehe...oh wie schön traurig...das ist Elvis pur!

And I Love You So

(words & music by Don McLean)

And I love you so,
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know how lonely life can be
Shadows follow me
The night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The look at life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my believe

Und hier sehe ich ihn, seine Hand mit Diamantringen hält ein Whiskeyglas..."And yeeeees I know how lonley life can be..." Ja , ich weiß wie einsam man im Leben sein kann....oh Junge, das glaube ich ihm und das ist für mich dann so authentisch und stark...unglaublich...

und es stimmt, die letzte Strophe...Das Buch des Lebens ist dünn und sind die Seiten erst gelesen, dann ist alles außer der Liebe tot, das ist mein Glaube...

Und wir sehen: Recht hat er behalten, die Liebe ist immernoch hier, das bringt mich zu einem weiteren Song:

It's Still Here

(Words & music by Ivory Joe Hunter)

The day you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
You had the nerve to tell me I would soon forget
Now you've been gone away one year
And I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-oh
It's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
And though you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
It's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
Now you've been gone away one year
And I have not forgotten dear
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-oh
It's here, it's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
And though you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Wow-ow
It's here, still here
Because my heart cannot believe
We're really through
And though you said we'd never part
You turned around and broke my heart
The love I had for you so long
Is still here
Oh yeah

als letztes möchte ich noch folgendes erwähnen:

It's Diff'rent Now

(Words & music by Clive Westlake)

Look at you and tell myself
How wonderful you are
You're so different now
To me you're much more wonderful, more wonderful by far
Yes, you're different now
There's more to love than holding hands and stealing kisses
No-one else around
There's the good times and the bad
There's the ups and downs we've had
But it's different now I'm so glad I still have you
Ah
There's always something new to see
I look at you, you look at me
And we're so different now
Love gets better every day 'n in some peculiar way
It's always different now
If we ever say goodbye, you'd be lost
And so would I, what's the difference now between us
Love just for a day, and a love that's here to stay
That's the difference now, the difference now
Ah


Oh Boy, das ist starker Tobak und unheimlich schön und melancholisch...und sehr traurig....

Aber da ist auch irgendwo sehr viel Traurigkeit in mir und wenn das so schön berührt wird, wie mit dieser Musik, dann kommt amn an diese Gefühle heran. Wunderbar.
