Here is Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson of Canned Heat singing "Human Condition," a song he wrote about his troubles, shortly before his death (apparently a suicide).
Here is another sad song by Canned Heat. I like this one better. |

When I was young, my mother used to grab me and make me dance around to this song whenever it came on. You never know how much you'll miss something until it's gone forever. |

Surprised this one slipped my mind for so long; whenever a song is named after a hospital, there's good odds it's going to be a heartbreaker. |
Re: The Saddest Music in the World
Every time they came back to his lips, these exquisite, funereal laments called to mind a suburban scene, a shabby, silent piece of waste land, and in the distance, lines of men and women, harassed by the cares of life, shuffling away, bent double, into the twilight, while he himself, steeped in bitterness and filled with disgust, felt alone in the midst of tearful Nature, all alone, overcome by an unspeakable melancholy, by an obstinate distress, the mysterious intensity of which precluded any prospect of consolation, of pity, of repose... A Rebours, J.K. Huysmans |

Ah, I've been trying to find the version of this I grew up to, but you beat me to it! Thanks to my father's love of vintage country/western, 'Long Black Veil' was the first truly sad song I recall hearing; that and other songs by Cash and co. made me first aware of the intrinsic unfairness of life, that the innocent could be punished, that nature, the wrong decision, or random violence could snuff out our existence at any time, ". . .and all for no reason, no reason at all". |
