s1ocki's Sad YouTube project

love this song ..reminds me of my days at home from college..gorgeous sunny days, walking by waterways with sunny sparkle reflected of the water surface..now life is busy and hard paperwork datelines finances kids taxes ..i'd pay anythin to be trapped in those old moments

Thank you for your comments to me. The words I know are true and said very beautifully. I am waiting for my heart to get over the loss. I know I will at least partially someday. I went through our cd's and found his cd's and a DVD of Foreigner and will spend some time today enjoying them and memories of him.

Lyn, I'm so sorry. Let me return a hug you passed to me few days ago. Thanks you for the kind comments then. It is very stressing for the surviver to review our lost love ones personal items, lingering imaginations, thoughts of reasons, purpose of each item smothered deeply in each container. I don't touch anything anymore, leaving it the way my wife placed it 12 months ago. Stay busy and with others.

you are beautiful but i dont like your attitude

haha i did, i sometimes do that to see if the person is who they're claiming to be... she def could be a 13 yr old girl from those other comments

i def like that her other comments entirely involve shaming bullies & supporting girls w/ low self esteem <3

totes

random side note but that song was the sample source for one of my all-time fav curren$y songs from before he got boring to think about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYkPxF2bYkg

from this thread:

Def Leppard was, is, and always will be bad ass. i have every cd and music video, my fav tune and video shall always be "bringin on the heartbreak" . it was me and my fiance's song, not for the words, but we loved
the powerful emotion it conveyed. my fiance was killed in an auto accident, decapitated by a drunk driver. my friend and i busted our guitars out and played "bringin on the heartbreak" and "in time" by robbie robb(our other fav song) in her honor, but noone except her and my parents understood what i was doing, thought i was damning her. any way, def leppard is totally bodacious, i pray they don't sell out like most of the 80's bands these days

there are so many "my fiance was killed in a car accident and this was his/her favourite song" comments i get kinda skeptical of them

s10ck are the "i miss you" songs too much of a low-hanging fruit

ya kinda

damn luna is even snowing people on youtube

is it skepticism or is it that you're just tired of seeing them? It wouldn't surprise me that loss of a special person would trigger really strong sense of nostalgia and sadness when someone hears a particular song. I can't think of why someone would lie/exaggerate about this particular type of nostalgia.

i think it seems like such a perfect sob story if someone were going to make one up that at a certain point you wonder if it's possible for that many automotive fatalities to happen to people while they were engaged to be married

iatee to thread w/ statistics

haha

ya exactly.

i just use the smell test.

i like to use stories that have specific interesting details, which also makes them seem more likely to be true.

i like to use stories that have specific interesting details, which also makes them seem more likely to be true.

this is pretty specific (though, obv not from youtube).

killed in an auto accident, decapitated by a drunk driver. my friend and i busted our guitars out and played "bringin on the heartbreak" and "in time" by robbie robb(our other fav song) in her honor, but noone except her and my parents understood what i was doing, thought i was damning her.

specific but... "busted out our guitars" doesn't pass the test for me.

plausibility depends on whether they busted out their guitars immediately after the accident, feet away from the disaster

this is an example of a similar-themed comment that did ring true:

german is the only language that has a word that means 'sad youtube'

yep: Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän

lol some dude

kind of a special one today http://sadyoutube.com/post/35338805717/tomorrow-is-the-37th-anniversary-of-the-sinking-of

good entry

grew up in mn and that event and song has a sort of weird place in my mind, a sad legend that kind of haunts lake superior.

my parents had gord's gold on vinyl and i used to listen to it when i was a kid, that song had a lot of impact on me, it really felt like the world of music opened up to include the sad and scary and mythological events of the world...of course the song i hear now isn't necessarily how the song was to me at the time, but it's got a certain power still

this looks awesome. good work.

Lightfoot is definitely a big thing for ontarians of my parents' generation

to everyone who said my fathers band was crap GO TO HELL YOU DIDNT KNOW MY DAD HE WAS THE BEST FATHER AND I MISS HIM SO MUCH AND NONE OF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT SHIT ABOUT HIM I love you daddy and I miss you so badly I wish u were here

whoa

Aw man, in combination with the song in question, that's something.

[the 1988 tv movie 'Bring Me The Head Of Dobie Gillis']

as a small boy in the 1960s my mother and I watched the reruns of this show and reruns of make room for daddy and Donna Reed and so on. I have nothing but good memories watching all the vintage sitcoms. Now I'm a late middle aged man only three years away from 70. My parents are dead and I'm pretty much alone. Lord what I wouldn't give to go back to the 60s. I would go insane if it wasn't for my two chihuahuas laying by my side. Thank God for my pets and thank God for YouTube.

My Dad always joked about how he wanted this played at his funeral. Then in 2018 he took his own life, only a few months before Keith did the same thing. Me and my brother wanted it played at the cremation service but we got overruled (I guess it may not have been to everyone's taste!). Shame as it would have been a great way to honour his sense of humour. At least we got to play it at the wake.

man some songs really bring this out, can barely get myself to quote from the comments to
Five for Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy) (Official Video)
but yeah, it's all stuff like:

I can't listen to this song without crying my eyes out! It reminds me of my little girl! When she was 9, we used to listen to this song. It seemed like it was her and I against the World! Today, almost 20 years later, my daughter is struggling with heroin addiction and I don't know how to help her! If you're reading this, please say a little prayer for my little girl!
