False Echoes knocked me off my chair the first time i heard it, blew me away. I'm not sure if all these songs are sad, they usually don't put me in a sad mood, but a lot of the lyrics you can pluck out and relate to.
Coast of Marseilles has to be one of my favorite songs ... such lines as "would you be remembering me ----- answer came and haunted me so" and "spent all the money i saved, still did not get over you"
Others would be:
"He went to paris",
"death of an unpopular poet",
"Lovely Cruise",
"In the Shelter",
"If the phone doesn't ring it's me",
"I heard i was in town",
"Island" and
"Little Miss Magic" always reminds me of my little niece

no particular order....
She's Going Out Of My mind
Remittance Man
California Promises
Survive
but #1-#2 have to be Captain and the Kid and False Echoes; can't get much more personal than that. Great songs both of them but often times I can't even listen to them because they're (too) easy to identify with....

I would have to agree with the person who wrote the saddest song (not written) would be "No summer Tour"...I've been going to Buffett concerts since I was about 14 years old and I'm approaching 40 fast...so I would really be "sad" not to see him this summer. I guess some things do change and that's life I suppose!

I WOULD DEFINATELY AGREE THAT "NOBODY SPEAKS TO THE CAPTAIN NO MORE" IS BY FAR THE SADDEST BUFFETT SONG EVER WRITTEN AND RECORDED, IT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR IT. OTHER THAN THAT ALL OF HIS OTHER SONGS MAKE ME JUST WANT TO PULL OUT THE BLENDER AND FORGET ALL MY PROBLEMS (TEMPORARILY ANYWAY)

-California Promises
-Everlasting Moon
-Changing Channels
-Death of an Unpopular Poet
-He Went to Paris
-Island
-Nobody Speaks to the Captain No More
-Pacing the Cage
-When the Wild Life Betrays Me
-That's What Living is to Me
-Wonder Why We Ever Go Home
-Remittance Man
-Survive

NOBODY SPEAKS TO THE CAPTAIN NO MORE IS BY FAR THE SADDEST SONG EVER WRITTEN BY THE MAYOR OF MARGARITAVILLE, IT MAKES ME WANT TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF EVERY TIME I HEAR IT. HOWEVER MOST OF THE OTHER SONGS MENTIONED DON'T COME ACROSS AS SAD TO ME, I SUPPOSE IT IS ALL IN THE WAY YOU INTERPRET THE LYRICS.
