Hear it and weep

As HSBC plan to pump music into their branches to relieve queuing customers of boredom, the Guardian cheerily tells us of their top 25 most miserable tracks.

 

Tom Reynolds, author of I Hate Myself and Want To Die - catchy - lists the songs that make him want to reach for the rope.

 

You Don't Bring Me Flowers by Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand makes No23: “Streisand should have recorded it alone, since the lyrics are clearly from a woman's point of view; no self-respecting guy ever complains about not getting flowers or hearing any love songs.”

 

But it’s not quite sad enough to get the razors out of the bathroom cabinet.

 

Bruce Springsteen’s The River is at 22 and Celine Dion’s cover of Eric Carmen's 1970s hit All By Myself is at 20, although it should be at No1 because it makes most people want to top themselves.

 

“Had Ms Dion been around during D-Day, the Allies could have dropped her off at Omaha Beach with a PA system and have her sing All By Myself until the German infantry bayoneted themselves.”

 

Of course The Cure gets a mention, as do Don Williams and Pink Floyd, but they don’t make it into the top ten. That’s reserved for Marianne Faithfull’s Sister Morphine, Hurt by Nine Inch Nails and Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit, “Strange indeed and insufferable, too”.

 

Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart gets a worthy mention at four, a bleating love song dedicated to a rabbit.

 

But the No1 most miserable track is The Christmas Shoes by Newsong. Released in 2000, apparently it went around the internet like wildfire and spawned “a best- selling novella and a top-rated TV movie”.

 

We still think Robson and Jerome, Cheeky Girls and Steps were robbed.

The complete Top 25 by Guardian is here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayrevie...1502655,00.html

 

Here is the comment to ABM:

 

20. All By Myself Celine Dion (1996)

The Canadian superstar's bombastic cover of Eric Carmen's 1970s hit about loneliness is the audio equivalent of the fire-bombing of Dresden. Celine's vocal histrionics surpass the blood-soaked psychic fury which slaughters the prom-goers in the movie Carrie. Had Ms Dion been around during D-Day, the Allies could have dropped her off at Omaha Beach with a PA system and have her sing All By Myself until the German infantry bayoneted themselves.

lol...did no one else find that quite funny?

 

I remember when i first heard that song a few years back; i was literally shaking when she hit that note. It will remain one of my all time favorite Celine songs.

ABM isn't one of my favorites but it definitely doesn't deserve that kind of harsh criticism.

 

These kind of things infuriate me. :evil:

how cares what they think?! i don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i love this song! :wub:

Is it wrong for me to be laughing right now? That's hilarious. I can understand why they would say those things (not that I agree), and I highly doubt jealousy has anything to do with it. It's more a case of nit-picking and simply not sharing the same musical taste and thinking her too operatic and emotional, and dramatic. It makes some people uncomfortable, especially with the emotionally void music so popular today. But really, I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Come on, people, their opinion isn't any more or less true than ours.

i don't see why all of you got so mad?

i don't find it funny but i just ignore it. you can clearly see that it is only gelousy there. i mean ABM is one of her greatest hits...almost any person on this planet knows it.....after MHWGO it's her secong most known song i guess along with FIY

"Sometimes we talk with our eyes and it says more than 10,000 words" moi

It's always possible to change!

Vive le Québec

"On ne grandit pas, on pousse un peu, tout juste, les temps d'un rêve, d'un songe,
Et les toucher du doigt, Mais on n'oublie pas, L'enfant qui reste, presque nu, les
instants d'innocence, Quand on savait pas... On ne change pas..."
