The 1970s had songs that could make you hang yourself if rope was near in an instant.

Seasons in the Sun. Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, At 17, Cats in the Cradle, Send in the Clowns, Wish You Were Here...

Just Brutal.

Alone Again Naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

That song is so depressing I bet back in the day any radio station located above the third floor had to nail the windows shut to keep the DJ from jumping out the window.

My personal all-time favorite is the Alan Parsons Project’s “Silence and I”. Andrew Powell’s orchestration is just fantastic.

The ultimate has to be Nilsson’s “Without You”, of course knowing the fact the writers of the song (Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger) ultimately wound up hanging themselves.

Sad has always sold.

What is different and produced and bought now is anger and hate. Ignorant anger and hate, but anger and hate all the same.

What about that song called At Seventeen? Heavens to Betsy what a depressing song. I wonder how many girls committed suicide to that song.
