Symphony of Sorrowful songs- Gorecki
A solo soprano sings a different Polish text in each of the three movements. The first is a 15th-century Polish lament of Mary, mother of Jesus, the second a message written on the wall of a Gestapo cell during World War II, and the third a Silesian folk song of a mother searching for her son killed in the Silesian uprisings.

The reason I feel this song shoudl be on here because it definately speaks to you with it's golden words to the rhythmic meter that was the old Saosin. " Taking on. 7 years. That holy ghost had left the room. Test my arms. Kick like crazy. I've been trying way too long. Help me push the way out to find you." Now that's deep.

He wrote this song about his own suicide, with the lyrics about stabbing himself in the stomach, which is how he actually committed suicide!!!! Tell me how it gets sadder than this....real emotion!!!

(IMHO):
1. His name was "Elliott". Two "Ts"
2. Where do the lyrics mention, or allude, to him stabbing himself in the stomach?
3. Four exclamation marks after suicide? It's that funny?
4. You think he killed himself? Check it out.
