Song that makes you sad?
I was debating about what song to pick here are there are so many that I have cried to or have strong memories linked to.
Strangers
I love this song but, yes it is sad and I usually cry to it. It isn't a song about ''My boyfriend broke up with me and I want to eat ice cream and die™'' or anything like that. It is a song that is hopeful and beautiful which makes it even sadder. It looks simple at first but like onions... it has layers.
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die So I will follow you wherever you go
Dave's voice as always is interesting and emotional. The guitar keeps going like life but this song is about endings just as it as about beginnings. Most people take the song to be about lovers, which it could be but Dave Davies actually wrote it about about his best friend who died due to a drug overdose. The song is all about what could of been if his friend didn't die, if he hadn't lost him on the way.
Strangers on this road we are on We are not two we are one
"Then I started to write about an old friend of mine at school named George Harris. We were dear friends. Actually, George and I were going to start a band, but he got too heavily into drugs and it kind of pulled us apart. The drug thing was like a three-way affair. He died of a methamphetamine overdose. They found him departed... he was young. I always felt it was going to be me and him. I didn't think at that age that it was going to be me and Ray. So I really kind of wrote it to him..."- Dave Davies

The song is about friendship. It just reminds me of all the people I've lost on my way. Sometimes our friendships just unraveled but other endings were far more abrupt. Some I miss, but hell some I'm glad I got away because they were toxic. I have some regrets but I'm lucky... some people I know never made it this far.
