The music itself is quite cheerful, and then I started listening to the lyrics... definitely surprised me, to put it mildly.Mozared said:I was wondering if somebody would mention that one. I can't really deny that "The Saddest Song" is the saddest song I've ever heard. Aside from that, Lonely Day by SOAD is probably closest.stompy said:The Saddest Song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUDndFKTA0s], of course...

YES.
I honestly think that the best song in all of Gears 2. Even if you never saw that scene, just listening to the music from it tells you EXACTLY what's happening.
Darn it. You got to it first.waggmd said:Hurt covered by Johnny Cash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go. The man is a music legend.
Those are truly amazing songs...Fraser.J.A said:Tool - Wings for Marie (parts 1 and 2)
The song is a eulogy for the singer's mother, a devout Christian, who was paralysed by a stroke and died 27 years later (the title of Part 2 of the song is 10,000 Days, which is roughly the length of time she was paralysed). The singer didn't share her beliefs.
Part One [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl4Jav58n48]
Lyrics:
A passionate spirit, uncompromised
Boundless and open, a light in your eyes
Then immobilised.
Broken
Fell at the hands of those movements that I wouldn't see.
Yet it was you who prayed for me.
So what have I done to be a son to an angel?
What have I done to be worthy?
I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough;
You're going home.
You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying: "I've come home now!
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now! My time now! Give me my wings!"
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance,
(With the) burden of proof tossed upon the believers,
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.
