No, I can't forget this evening,

Or your face as you were leaving.

But I guess that's just the way the story goes,

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows.

Yes, it shows.

No, I can't forget tomorrow,

When I think of all my sorrow;

When I had you there but then I let you go.

And now it's only fair that I should let you know,

What you should know.

I can't live if living is without you.

I can't live, I can't give any more.

I can't live if living is without you.

I can't give, I can't give any more.

Well, I can't forget this evening,

Or your face as you were leaving.

But I guess that's just the way the story goes.

You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows.

Yes, it shows.

I can't live if living is without you.

I can't live, I can't give anymore.

I can't live if living is without you.

I can't live, I can't give anymore.

...Living is without you.

Yep.

Also, VNV Beloved and Wolfsheim Once in a Lifetime...goddamn sad songs being #1 dance floor hits.. >< I don't like it. But I do like dancing to love will tear us apart...

Though Beloved grew on me after the Cleveland concert..

Beloved... indeed.

Beck's "Jack Ass" is a much better song IMO. Not to mention it has the best sample usage in a song I have ever heard.... what can I say ... I just love the fucking song though it reminds me of not so good times...

Pink Floyd's "Mother". The Wall as a whole is intense for me ( or for anyone but super intense for me) but "Mother" usually leads to a sobbing break down of me just becoming catatonic.

Now You're Gone by the Detroit Cobras.

Flower by the Eels because most of the time I just want to god to turn the ugly light off.....

Metric by Haujobb...

Stella Was A Diver and she was Always Down by Interpol, something about how he yells " Stella I love you, Stella I love you .. STELLA I LOVVEEEEE YOOOUUU" gets me eveytime.

long, long time ago by Javier Navarrete from the Pan's Labyrinth sound track.

Wirr Wird Mir from the second ring Cycle, Wagner.

Daddy by Jewel... this one pretty much leaves me catatonic too, if I am listening to it on repeat it would be best to leave me alone ....

Little Green by Joni Mitchell...

Harvest Moon by Neil Young.

Rear by Project Pitchfork.

One More Time by the The Cure (OMG ).

Let it Be by The Beatles.

Until the End of the World Apoptygama Berzerk.

Solitude by Billie Holiday

Peeping Tom by Placebo.

Nobodys Girl by Bonnie Ratt.

Sweet Dreams (of you) by Patsy Cline.

A shit load more .....

How could I forget Asleep by the Smiths... seriously, that song makes me suicidal..... and has seen many nights with a stitch kit in the past.
