That song is fucking BEAUTIFUL and sad, and I don't like any eighties new wave pop.

Someone concur so that I don't feel like a toolbox.

'Don't you forget about me' as performed by Simple Minds, perhaps?

Written by Steve Chiff and Keith Forsey who also wrote 'Shakedown' from Beverly Hills Cop II and 'What a feeling' from Flashdance. Steve Forsey joined The Psychedelic Furs hence the subsiquent use of 'Pretty in Pink' in...'Pretty in Pink' (Hughes' next film).

"You'll be lucky if I don't bust out crying".. to (ready for this?)..
'Never gonna be the same' by Courtney Love.
No, not sad as in this song is crap sad either!

skip james - devil
girls against boys - bug house
neil young - out on the weekend
csny - our house

pearl jam - long road/parting ways.
god only knows - actually im not sure if the feeling these songs make me have are what you would call sad or happy but they make me feel alive which is nice

my last post was actually gay.

I've said it before, but Sad DC by Mogwai gets me every time. I'd also second Parting Ways by Pearl Jam - i'd imagine it's one of the few songs by that band that most forum members would actually like.

Boots of Spanish Leather - Bob Dylan
Warm Springs Night - Jole R. L. Phelps
The Hillstreet Blues Theme Song - Mike Post

I'm trying to recall that shit in my head, and if I'm recalling it correctly, we might have to split hairs over "sad" vs. "melancholy" vs. "maudlin"... fuckin' tune, jeez.
