What do you think is the saddest song? in my opinion "these are the days of our lives" takes very easily... but "too much love will kill you" and "dont try so hard" giving it very hard competition. what do you think? |
| Mercuryking 29.08.2004 12:38 |
Yes those are very sad , but you forgot Who wants to live forever which i think is very sad and depressing and The show must go is ,mother love are both very sad. |

"Guide Me Home/How Can I Go On" from Freddie's Barcelona album are the saddest things he ever sang, I think, though maybe you're not counting nonQueen albums? |

I have to go with "No-One But You". |

Those are all pretty sad songs. I think All Dead All Dead is sad too though too. It always depresses me. |

One of the saddest queen songs ever is definetly my melancholy blues. But every time i listen to no one but you i end up in tears. Yet Its a beautifull day makes me cry too because i think of how sick freddie was when he sang it and how beauifull is voice was. Really most of queens songs were kind of hard rock or really lovy more than sad. I mean i want my wedding song to be take my breath away its so beautiful. |

In fact Freddie wasn't ill yet, since it's a recording made during "The Game" sessions (in 1980)... Otherwise, try to get all the enthusiasm for life pouring out every single note and word he sang... In my opinion it is beautiful when you hear someone showing his astonishment for nature and all the simplest things in life... So, don't be sad, it's a joyful, or better, hopeful song!!! About "You take my breath away" as a wedding song... It works!!!! Think that a very close friend of mine asked me to play it at his wedding and I did... Though probably the result was no good as the original, it was very moving and we all enjoyed it very much!!! Albyboy |

Many of their songs are sad, too many to mention, but I think the saddest could be no one but you, especially "there's a face at the window, and i ain't never, never saying goodbye". I always see Freddie's face in my head at that point. |

| lozitopj 07.01.2005 20:17 |
I believe the saddest Queen song was The Show Must Go On. I believe that Freddie realized that Innuendo would probably be his final album and he wanted to say goodbye. The Show Must Go On is his way of "don't worry about me dears, I 'll be fine." |
| foxxy_moron 07.01.2005 20:20 |
Brian's solo in These are the days of our lives is so haunting. So touching aswell. Think of me weird if you wish but Spread Your Wings used to make me cry if i was in that *hormonal* mood that we all get in sometimes. Freddie's little voice thing in that is just so amazing. Love of My Life gets me every now and then. Bohemian Rhapsody got me when I was watching the Tribute concert for the first time. White Queen... well that just sets me off i guess... Matter of opinion though. |

I've got to say that "You take my breath away" must be the sadest song. I can't say that the show must go is so sad. It's more that freddie say's, "when I'm dead , who cares" the show must go on. But if you really read the text in YTMBA, you will understand. |

My favorite sad songs: -Dear friends -Love of my life -You take my breath away -Save me -Is this the world we created -Who wants to live forever -Forever (the instrumental version of WWTLF) -These are the days of our lives -The show must go on -It's a beautiful day -Mother Love -Too much love will kill you All those songs have made me shed a tear at least once... And actually all songs on Made in Heaven album have something sad in them, when you know the context of their recording |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 03.03.2005 02:04 |
Mother Love, These Are The Days Of Our Lives and The Show Must Go On. They've just got such a sad, thoughtful feel to them, even more so because Freddie knew he was dying while they were being recorded. |

The 'These Of The Days Of Are Lives' video is truly heartbreaking. I choose to skip it when the DVD is on. Shouldn't do I know but it is just so sad to see Fred say 'I still love you'. The strength of the rest of the guys to write 'Know one but you' is quite staggering. Again, a song I don't choose to play very often :( Anyhow, what a depressing subject this is. Need an urgent fix of the 'One Vision' studio documentary to perk up a bit. |
| Roy Queen 03.03.2005 11:31 |
This is a hard nut! Queen did really write many depressing songs, but I like it. The mixture of happiness and sadness are great! But I can't choose between so many songs, but some of them are: The Show Must Go On These Are The Days Of Our Lives All Dead, All Dead A Winter's Tale I'm Going Slightly Mad My Melancholy Blues Nevermore Sail Away Sweet Sister Too Much Love Will Kill You Who Wants To Live Forever |

"Mother Love", Freddie's last recording "These Are The Days Of Our Lives", yes, really, just heartbreaking, I sometimes cried listening to that song "The Show Must Go On" "Love Of My Life" "My Melancholy Blues" "You Take My Breath Away" "Who Wants To Live Forever" Queen's sensitive side is so strong. Those who dislike the band should hear those songs at first. |

-White Queen -Nevermore -Dont Try So Hard -Jealousy -Dear Friends -You Take My Breath Away -Too Much Love Will Kill You -These are the days of our lives -Is This The World We Created Personally, i dont see how "show must go on" is sad in anyway. The song basically says ill spit on death, it wont break me down, and ill rightfully take its path. He could mean by "show" our journey after death. I think its the human spirit accepting its fate beautifully. Come on death lets party! |

"Love of My Life" is another one that always gets me, along with "'39," "Spread Your Wings," "All Dead All Dead," and "The Prophet's Song," for some reason. I also agree with you on "Under Pressure." So many people think of Vanilla Ice, it's sad. They just refuse to believe that Queen and Bowie did it first. |

I wonder why for so many of you These Are the Days of our Life is a very sad song. I mean, it's melancholic, but it also brings me lots of serenity. To me its message is: even if we get old and things change, the bond with those we love will always be the same. I love this discussion. It's cool to see how the same songs can have a very different meaning to each of us. Fairy |
