Tears in heaven - Eric Clapton
That has got to be the saddest song I have ever heard.

Monstro, actually, I saw you had named it but I did not notice you had posted it. Thanks for the compliment on musical taste. I try. Any others you like?

Thanks, whatever the circumstances, it was really thoughtful of you to look for the video and post it. :smile:
I like all sorts of stuff. Mainly listen to classical these days, but you never know otherwise. But I look forward to seeing what you'll post next!
And speaking of sad songs, I'm sure somebody's mentioned Frank Sinatra. He has an album called "No One Cares" and when listening to it I just want to pat him on the back and exort, "Ava was crazy, Frank. She's not worth it! C'mon, let's go to Vegas."*
*No disrespect intended to the fabulous Ms. Gardner. That's just the sort of things guys say when we're trying to cheer somebody up
LOL! What a great story, Monstro! A funny thing happened right before Frank died. For about two months, I had the biggest urge to read every thing I could get my hands on about the man.(Maybe it was a sign) In his autobiography, he admitted to being bi-polar. He said if he had been treated, he probably never would have left Nancy senior (who never got over him leaving her) and probably would not have started the Rat Pack. Because his manic side came to the forefront so often, he never went to bed and so in order to pass the time, he surrounded himself with his buddies.They smoke, drank and womanized along with creating a phenom never to be repeated, probably.
That's fascinating, Naughty. Now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense--I can totally hear that in Frank's music. It was either real swinging and happy or totally down in the dumps and morose. Are you sure it was his autobiography, though? I didn't think he had written one.
There's a really good biography of Ava Gardner that I read a few months ago. If you haven't read it you should, I think you'd really like it.
It makes me so sad I couldn't listen past the first few seconds. I only listened to those few seconds to make sure I had the right song. It will bring you to tears.
