Yes, I have noticed that also....... I don't know if they are tears or just stain.......but it looks like he really had tears in his eyes :'(
Whatever it was, the performance is still brilliant and sad.

The gospel song "Stand by Me" has a sad feeling to it.

"When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea-thou who never lost a battle Stand by Me."

[ForeverTheKing]

For me are :'(

-Solitaire
-Danny Boy
-My Way

[ricardo b. prospero]

Anything that's part of you
Indescribably blue
For old time sake

The sadest Elvis songs for me:

[TLC67]

Forgot to put "In the ghetto" in my list..."Pieces of my life", some of you think it is sad because of the nostalgia?


Yes, I think that has alot to do with it. But some of us identify with them as well. I need to add these to my list!

I've Lost You

[elvis fan 1976]

What Now My Love
It's Over
In The Ghetto
Don't Cry Daddy
Kentucky Rain
Always On My Mind
I've Lost You
That's Someone You Never Forget

3. Just pretend
4. Hurt
5. Its midnight

[lawdy_missclawdy]

For me, it's "This Is Our Dance". For personal reasons.

[geordie]

[Dovey]

" My Way" is the saddest Elvis song for me. Dovey;)

[anna-bell]

there are many sad songs
but I think the saddest are:

-I've lost you
-for the good times
-in the ghetto
-good time charlie's got the blues
-I'll never fall in love again
-it's over

:'(

[ms_epblvd]

Elvis was definately a tear jerker singer but after giving it some thought, I think yadee nailed it.

My Way live in 1977. That was tragic! The look on his face singing that made you feel like he knew his life was coming to an end.

Second to that I would say a tie for Never Again or Seperate Ways.

Gina

[Debra]

There are so many songs which tear up my heart every time I hear them, but the saddest songs in my opinion are:

- It's Midnight
- Hurt
- For Ol' Times Sake
- My Way

These songs really give me goosebumps.

You can tell he was said and heartbroken when he sang them, bacause you can feel his pain and sadness in his voice.

[rebby]

I have to say that What Now My Love from 1973 really makes me fill up, the emotion in his voice is so tender, and real, it really makes me sad! Oh and Long Black Limousine! A lot of people don't think its sad because it has quite a powerful meoldy and isn't very soft, but you can really feel like he is the guy belting out all his hurt and sadness in this one song, and thats what really gets me!

[GirlHappy19]

My Boy
Pieces Of My Life
My Way
Separete Ways
I'll Be Home From Xmas
Lord You Gave Me A Mountain

[Uncle_Hulka]

One I didn't see mentioned, but always gets me, is

"They Remind Me Too Much Of You."

Gawd, stings me every single time.

[Tony Trout]

I'd have to say the following songs are the saddest:

"Long Black Limousine"

"My Way" (I prefer the "Aloha" version

"Separate Ways"

And when it's combined with footage of Elvis's funeral procession (as I've seen on YouTube frequently), "I'm Leavin'" always chokes me up every time....I tried searching for a version of it on YouTube that has the funeral footage but I didn't have any luck.

[SeeSeeRider777]

1.) Im So Lonesome I could cry
2.) It's Impossible
3.) Solitaire
4.) Danny Boy
5.) Are You Lonesome Tonight? From On Tour
6.) It's Easy for You

[SleepyJack]

These are the ones that send me to Heartbreak Hotel!......
Danny Boy
I`m so lonesome I could cry
Almost
Unchained Melody
.......Heartbreakers all,yet beautiful.

[MissyM]

My Way, when I saw him singing it, I knew he was going to die. Don't ask me how because I just did. (I have seen it and/or dreamed it about others too-I'm freaky that way)

[Cliff]

Pieces Of My Life & It's Midnight.

[Jailhouse-Rocker]

Don't Cry Daddy...no other song affects me like this one does hands down.

Diane


i completely agree!! this song and only this song chokes me up everytime! :'(

[renapap05]

Kentucky Rain
In the Ghetto
I've Lost You

[buttonhead]

Mine is : The Sound Of Your Cry..:'( :'(

-SatninLove

[beckelvis]

I belive that it"MAMA LIKED THE ROSES" AND "ALWAYS ON MY MIND"they are very sad,when the well.know scouts that he sings them with a special feeling,always make me cry:'(:'(

[LianaKaralivanou]

Oh, and I also wanted to add;"They remind me too much of you".

[hawaiigirl]

Sad songs for me are:
It's Midnight
Hurt
Pieces of my Life
Suppose

Teresa

[Nicole Presley]

When I first saw Elvis sing "Unchained melody" on his last concert I cried and cried an thought it would never end. I thought I have to die when I saw him sing it. It was the first time I noticed how he looked on his last concert. And I had to ask myself "Why didn´t anyone notice that he will die soon? :'(" But then when I saw him smile at Charley Hodge I could stop crying. :'( :'( :'(

[Merry]

"Old Shep".

I thought I'd see if I can listen to it, nope, still can't. :'(


Y7_s2o4hG2A



"Old Shep" is a beautiful song, though. :)

[Cliff]

"It's Over"
" What Now My Love"
"Farther Along" (How Great Thou Art)
"If We Never Meet Again" (His Hand In Mine)
" I Need Somebody To Lean On"

[dannyboy1]

I notice a lot of 70's songs listed and the 70's is my favourite Elvis period too. But in terms of sadness in lyrical content "Indescribably Blue" would take the #1 spot for me. In fact I find its sadness devastating! It's brilliant!

[Cliff]

Just thought I would add this one...I was listening to it last night on the "Home Recordings" cd....."Suppose"...a very very sad little song.:sad::sad::sad:+

You know the line that has always got to me in this song is when he sings "Suppose I had no wish to be alive" I know it's easy to put meaning into things after the fact. But I truly do believe that Elvis opened his soul to us through his songs. I also believe he chose a lot of songs because they said things that he couldn't. Perhaps the very reason that we have chosen the songs we have.


JIbpD-d1LC8

[dannyboy1]

I'm not sure why everyone thinks "Suppose" is a sad song. I know it sounds sad, but the meaning is very positive. The singer is thinking how awful the world would be without the wonderful things in life and the wonderful love of his life. The intent is that he is in a very happy relationship and truly counting his blessings.

[shelley.m.]

How's The World Treating You.

[presley31]

Its over
peices of my life

my boy
There are alot of sad songs to pick from but the few l mentioned are the ones that l find sad.

[Vegas King]

You gave me a mountain
Pieces of my life
My Boy
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

[Genie]

:hmm:
Im So Lonesome I Could Cry :'(
Separate Ways
Hurt

It will always be "HURT"

I can see some posts thinking that the incredibly beautiful song called " Suppose" is sad................but it's all in how you take it..if you listen very closely, he is saying beautiful things, that are not sad, but would be sad, if they were any other way....
If that made any sense, I will be happy to know..lol
~Genie

[elvispresleytheking]

In The Ghetto
I'm So Lonesome I COuld Cry
Heartbreak Hotel
Separate Ways
It's Over
Good TIme Charlie's Got The Blues
Kentucky Rain
and on and on and on...

[piretos]

For me saddest songs were "It's still here "(the day you said we'll never part you turned around and broke my heart) From Elvis in Nashville and "There goes My Everything"

[EnigmaticSun]

Well I found "Take Good Care Of Her" to be such a sad song. Not so much in terms of lyrics, rather the way he sounds. The feeling is really miserable. It's positive he had the guts to convey his inner stirring in a song and I like this one.

[Lisarose]

I totally agree with your choice, (y)


Take good care of her, take good care of her
I suppose I ought to say congratulations
For you won the only girl I ever loved
But I hurt too much to face the situation
Just take good care of her, take good care of her

and NO, I don't feel he was in any way giving Priscilla and Mike any kind of message. I do think he was just singing through his heartache the way any artist does.

[EnigmaticSun]

and NO, I don't feel he was in any way giving Priscilla and Mike any kind of message.

You mean as if he would have said "you stole my girl you bastard, now I'm gonna kick your @ss!"

[Diane]

Old Shep is at the top for me, I can't listen to it at all..:'(
Don't Cry Daddy
Woman Without Love

To me:

Pieces Of My Life, Don't Cry Daddy, Separate Ways, Old Shep, Mountain, Where No One Stands Alone, That's Someone You Never Forget
