TopicWhat's the saddest song you've ever heard?

You know that quote in TDKR where Bane talks about Bruce adopting the darkness but himself being born into it? "I didn't see the light until I was a grown man, and then it was nothing to me but blinding."

This is why the saddest song ever necessarily must be a Billy Joel song. Others wrote sad songs--it's true. But Billy Joel was a walking case of depression.

When he tried to write happy songs, he failed. His lullaby "Goodnight my Angel" is low-key creepy and predicts his own death or abandonment. "Just the Way You Are" proudly declares he doesn't want to talk about anything deep, ever, with anyone. "The Entertainer" is 100% angst at having the execs cut the playtime of "Piano Man."

And that's why "So it Goes" is the winner.
