The Saddest Song I’ve Got – Annie Lennox
Darling are you feeling
The same thing that I’m seeing?
The troubles of the day
Took my breath away
Took my breath away
Now you’re no longer talking
And I’m no longer hearing;
There’s nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway
And I want you…not
I need you…not
I’m dying
‘Cause this is the saddest song I’ve got
The saddest song I’ve got
Darling are you healing
From all those scars appearing?
Don’t it hurt a lot?
Don’t know how to stop
Don’t know how it stops
Now there’s no sense in seeing
The colors of the morning,
Can’t hold the clouds at bay
Chase them all away
Chase them all away
And I’m frozen still
Unspoken still
Heartbroken
Remembering something I forgot…
Something I forgot.
Song/Lyrics Notes: This song is found on Annie Lennox’s Bare album. What it Means to Me: The entire album, Bare, features songs about lost love, hurts, regrets, and the like, done with the angst and raw passion that Annie Lennox does so well.
This song, The Saddest Song I’ve Got, is powerful in its plaintiveness. The author is mourning the loss of a relationship. Most vivid for me is the idea that although there is “nothing left to say”, she “said it anyway”, yet still feels “unspoken” as she remembers something she still wants to say. To me, this is an expression of the desire to hold on, to still want to correct things, but no words will take away the pain, nor will they mend what has happened between them. More vivid imagery is in the idea of being “frozen”, not knowing when or how the pain will subside.
Annie Lennox has a lot of Capricorn energy, with her Sun, Moon, Mercury, and North Node in Capricorn. Her Venus in Scorpio is probably a position many astrologers would guess. That Venus is also conjunct Saturn, square Pluto, and trine Mars, Uranus, and Jupiter. (There is a wide grand trine in water signs involving Venus/Saturn, Jupiter/Uranus, and Mars).
