A companion track, or B Side, to Mtngirl's Repulsively Attractive thread.
I start you with this:
I wonder how much a plane ticket to Japan costs.
I wonder why nobody looks for those people.

no idea what your text means, but Gillian Welch's music is pretty much the definition of beautifully sad.Quote:

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking, these days –
These days ... These days I seem to think a lot,
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

And an open door was to a girl like the stars are to the sky
It's funny how the world lives up to all your expectations
With adventures for the stout of heart, and the lure of the open spaces
There's 2 lanes running down this road, whichever side you're on
Accounts for where you want to go, or what you're running from
Back when darkness overtook me on a blind man's curve
I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon and Saint Christopher
Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Now I have run from the arms of lovers, I've run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness, I've run just because I can
But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman and I see with a woman's eyes
And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes
It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve

You gotta be one sad motherfucker to stab yourself in the heart.Quote:

A Townes song by the Be Good Tanyas, love this version, and beautifully sad is what it is.

I think this is a beautifully sad song.

Anything by Lana Del Rey. I freaking love her.
High By the Beach is my current favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxjw_8RpoNI
That's a good one Danno.

Not very many youtube options on this one..

The 1990s still feel like yesterday...
That's a great choice. Another one that for some reason is in the same brain space for me, also beautifully sad, though they're from different movies:Quote:

My girlfriend always gives me shit for my penchant for old country. One day while driving 'Always On My Mind' came on shuffle on the Ipod. She rolled her eyes like always. After a couple of minutes, I look over and she had tears streaming down her face. Willie got her good.Quote:

Here're two that always make me sad:
"The Tulsa Queen and you, are gone…"

"The last time I felt like this, I was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire…"

Sorry, the sadest part about listing to the Gary Jules version was listening to the Gary Jules version. Slowing down a sad song doesn't make it sadder. I am just to used to this version.

Yes! Great song!Quote:
