Wistful Sad Songs

[Woodsman]

For sad, wistful songs that you could make into a video or short film? My head went right to Harry Chapin - songs like Better Place to Be, Cat's in the Cradle, W*O*L*D, Taxi . . . they all tell a poignant story or situation.

I agree with this. Harry Chapin was one of my favorite singers. I had the please of seeing him twice in concert. So I had the pleasure too of shaking his hand twice and telling him I enjoyed the show because of his habit of greeting everyone after the show and signing shirts, etc. for his World Hunger cause.

On another note (no pun intended) I'm surprised on St. Patrick's Day that no one mentioned Danny Boy. I saw a TV program years ago where Eric Clapton covered the history of this song. He recorded many an Irish pub singer doing their renditions. I would love to get a copy of this on DVD but I can't find it anywhere and most people never even heard of it. At the end of the program Eric Clapton does his own rendition of Danny Boy and that, in my opinion, was a wistful sad song if there ever was.
