/mu/ what is THE saddest song that has ever existed?
>Famous blue raincoat
All of Cohen's lyrics are fucking depressing as fuck. I love listening to him when I just want to drown in my sorrows and feel like shit.

I actually got really emotional when he died. I don't think I'd ever felt that much for a musician dying before.
I'll take Cohen over Dylan any day.

Although I think it is also just as beautiful as it is sad. It's both depressing and peaceful to me.

Dress Rehearsal Rag
Once there was a path
and a girl with chestnut hair,
and you passed the summers
picking all of the berries that grew there;
there were times she was a woman,
oh, there were times she was just a child,
and you held her in the shadows
where the raspberries grow wild.
And you climbed the twilight mountains
and you sang about the view,
and everywhere that you wandered
love seemed to go along with you.
That's a hard one to remember,
yes it makes you clench your fist.
And then the veins stand out like highways,
all along your wrist.
