Saddest peice of music I have ever listened to

This song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuotFZnBtk&playnext_from=TL&videos=Lh2wI_TC8us&feature=recentf is the saddest song I've ever listened to. This music actually made me cry and I'm still listening to this beautiful music. The reason I cried was because the melody reminds me of my old time favourite movie, Black Beauty. It's about a horse and it's all in his point of view back in the day when horses were treated so cruelly by many. It went through from the first day he was born and on through the good times and the bad times that he had. Of what happened to the only friends he had and where he ended up in the end.

Most of this song brings back the parts of when Black Beauty is laying in the field of his final home with the man that use to be the young groom that he met at his first home. He's thinking about Ginger and Merry Legs. Now if you've ever watched the movie you'll understand why I find this sad because Ginger dies part way through from neglect and abuse. Merry Legs is not mentioned after they sell the pony in the beginning but Ginger is brought up alot and was with Beauty the longest through the movie.

The last scene of the movie that really gets me is when he's imagining the days back in his first home when he, Ginger and Merry Legs would run through the pasture together during the days; looking young and happy and full of life.

I think Black Beauty was the reason I first started to love horses and I still have that movie seventeen years later. It was a beautiful movie and full of emotion. It depicted the life of a horse back then and I will always have a place in my heart for Black Beauty, Ginger and Merry Legs.


Now you all might think i'm a big softy but that movie really hits home with me and this music just brought back the days I enjoyed sitting by the TV watching as Beauty was born, trained, sold a dozen times and finally found peace with the boy he once use to play with in the fields; and he'd never be leaving that place as long as he lived.

Sorry for the sappy post but I had to get that all out.
