In another thread you spoke about protest songs. How about songs that fit the mood of the tragic things going on in the Mid East. I'll start with one I feel to be one of the ultimates of ALL songs EVER!

Another Soldier Gone - Violinaires

He'll Be Back - The Players
Even though the song pertained to the Vietnam War, it's message of looking forward to a soldier's return strikes me as sad.

Windows Of The World - Isaac Hayes
I mentioned this in another thread. I enjoy Dionne's original but Isaac's live version from 1972 (done "Hot Buttered Soul"-style) captures the mood of the song's message and sends it home.

Save The Children - Marvin Gaye
Need I say more?

Kevin Goins - KevGo
