Shed Seven
Shed Seven are an English Indie Rock band from York and were one of the groups which contributed to the Britpop music scene that evolved during the 1990s, yet never received the degree of mainstream success achieved by bands such as Oasis and Blur. They formed in 1990 and originally comprised Rick Witter (vocals), Joe Johnson (guitar and keyboards, later replaced by Paul Banks), Tom Gladwin (bass) and Alan Leach (drums).
They belonged to the post-Smiths wave of UK musicians such as The Sundays and Marion, with a sound relying heavily on complex guitar arpeggios often in a minor key, and wailing vocals. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had fifteen Top 40 singles and four Top 20 albums in the UK. The band officially broke up in 2003, but reformed for a greatest hits tour in July 2007. The band have continued to play shows around the UK periodically but have not released a new studio album.
Early years
Sad Song
Sad Song may refer to different pieces of music:
Sad Song (The Cars song)
"Sad Song" is the lead single by the American rock band The Cars from their 2011 studio album Move Like This. A brief clip of the track was released in December 2010; the full song was released to radio on March 1, 2011.
Details
Exclaim! magazine comments on the song saying "[d]espite the title and lyrics, it doesn't sound particularly sad, as it contains a cheery beat and a catchy mix of synths and guitars". Critics have noted the similarity of "Sad Song" to the band's earlier singles, such as 1978's "My Best Friend's Girl" and 1979's "Let's Go".
"Sad Song" peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart.

Sad Song (song)
"Sad Song" is the lead single by singer-songwriter Blake Lewis from his second studio album Heartbreak on Vinyl, released on October 6, 2009 and has reached the number eleven spots on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart in 2009.
Music video
"Sad Song" directed by Ana Veselic, has a very stylized look that blends a couple of different eras. Blake says: "The video is very film noir with an '80s feel to it, like we have the Maxell shot in there."
The video is shot as a 1940s film-noir style story about the end of a couple’s relationship, highlighted with some 40s-meets-80s style fashion and video editing. The female lead is played by Casey Carlson who was also an American Idol contestant in the recent season 8.
Blake says: "I was, like, Wow, this girl has the most beautiful face. It's very classic. So I reached out to her, and she said yes. We got the video done a couple weeks ago, and it turned out really, really well. I'm very proud of it"
The Video was released on September 21, 2009, one day prior to the official release on his MySpace.

Cry For Help
by: Shed SevenAnd it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
my bet is you feel the same
And it just gets worse
all these promises were cruel
but my bet is you will remain
did I ever tell you that you shook me to the bone
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you move the world I'm on
And This is my cry for help
And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
And I'm still crying from the pain
And it only goes to show that I already know
That I, Yeah I guess you will remain
Did I ever tell you that you shook me to the bone
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you move the world I'm on
And This is my cry for help
And This is my cry for help
And it really hurts when I'm thinking about you
And that don't sit too good with me
And it just gets worse
all them promises so cruel
but my bet is you will remain
did I ever tell you that you brought me to my knees
When all you did was be yourself
Have I ever told you
That you Made my whole world bleed
And This is my cry for help
And This is my cry for help
And it really hurts
But my bet is you will
And this is my Cry For Help
And this is my Cry for help
This is me crying
This is me crying
This is me crying
