Added DiffLines:

* "Fat Old Sun", if only because it is just so damned sentimental....


Added DiffLines:

** If you want something else to weep over, consider that Rick had to deal with a lot of depression - including his widow. You could say the song treads close to being at least a little autobiographical for Rick.

* "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Us and Them", especially revisiting them after Richard Wright's death. But even on their own, they're still sad. "The Great Gig in the Sky" has no words at all. Just beautiful organ/piano playing from Richard and the amazing wailing from Clare Torry. "Us and Them" talks about the pointless and terrible nature of war, and the apathetic nature of society. The quiet verses and the loud and moving choruses combined with the lyrics can just make you burst into tears.

* "Goodbye Cruel World". If someone takes it out of the context of the album, they'll most likely think that it's a suicide note.

* "Goodbye Cruel World". If someone takes it out of the context of the album, they'll most likely think that it's a suicide note. But even in the album it's depressing. Being hurt enough by the world and the humans around him, Pink finally completes his wall and isolates himself from the world in his hotel room. Thankfully, he regrets it.

* Brain Damage and Eclipse. The climatic feeling these two songs give out when coupled together are just a mix between beautiful, badass, and just plain sad. When Eclipse finishes, you're left with the heartbeat you've heard in the beginning of the album fading out and the amazing quote: "There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact it's all dark." If you've cried to that just like Roger's wife Judy did, it's perfectly fine.

\n* "Louder Than Words" is the final Pink Floyd song, this time for real, and it manages to be a mixture of tearjerker and optimism.
