What’s the saddest song you know?

1. Queen - The Show Must Go On While a rather upbeat song, it was recorded in 1990...Freddie was dying of AIDS and wanted to make a meaningful song for when he dies. When Brian May voiced his concern over him not having the strength to do it, he just took a swig of Vodka and said:"l'll fucking do it, darling!" And he did. That man never lost his spirit.
