Thank you for sharing that -- I love Gordon Lightfoot and this song is great! I'm from Michigan so I've always had a soft spot for the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Gordon Lightfoot also did an amazing version of Farewell to Nova Scotia which is a pretty melancholy song also

Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce.

He wrote it when his wife was pregnant with his son. He died three years later in a plane crash.

Dixie Chicks' "Travelin' Soldier." Tears every single time. And then my daughter asked about it.

Cat's in the Cradle always makes me weepy. Also love Eva Cassidy's Fields of Gold.

Eva Cassidy singing "Wonderful World" as she knew she was dying of cancer.


Joey Ramone singing "Wonderful World" as he knew he was dying of cancer. (OK, he didn't play it as sad.)

Warren Zevon's entire album about knowing he was dying of cancer. (Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile ....)
