THE SADDEST SONG from 1970s That NO ONE Can Listen To Without CRYING! https://www.youtube.com/@RetroRewind60s?sub_confirmation=1 #Revisited #ForgottenMusic #RetroMusic #1970smusic ================= Some songs don't ask for your attention. They take it. Behind these 15 songs are real funerals, real phone calls, and losses that never closed. A father wrote the most famous song ever recorded about missing his son's childhood, then died on the road, driving to a show, away from his own children. A woman hid a daughter inside a song and let the world listen to it for 28 years without ever working out what it was. A band grieved a founder who was still alive, and didn't recognize him when he walked into the studio. These are 15 songs from the 1960s and 1970s that hurt to hear, and the true stories behind them. Featured in this video: "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel "Alone Again, Naturally" by Gilbert O'Sullivan "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin "Let It Be" by The Beatles "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks "Little Green" by Joni Mitchell "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor "The Needle and the Damage Done" by Neil Young "Rainy Days and Mondays" by The Carpenters "All My Love" by Led Zeppelin "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd "Vincent" by Don McLean "Without You" by Badfinger Which one got to you?
