Fairytale of New York
One of the most heart-wrenching songs ever written has to be Fairytale Of New York by Shane MacGowan of The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl. This song hurts there's so much emotion in it. It hurts in hard, gut-wrenching ways, and subtle, bittersweet, aching ways. It is an ultimate song of sadness, love, romance, pain, tragedy, aching, pleading, hope, and sorrow. It fills me full of melancholy.
You took my dreams from me,
When I first found you.
I kept them with me babe,
I put them with my own.
Can't make it all alone.
I've built my dreams around you.
