This song is touching on the woes of life. The line, "We as people, are just walking 'round, what we don't see, well it can't be real" expresses how we live each day and dedicates a sad song to life. In the end we're "Throwing it all away."
Noel Gallagher noted in the 2014 reissue of Definitely Maybe: "It is an early song, a hidden gem. I remember Clint Boon from the Inspiral Carpets going 'You're not gonna call it 'Sad Song,' are you? S--t title.' That's what it says in the song though. I don't give a f--k about titles. I've got one called 'Cigarettes & Alcohol', nothing's s--ttier than that."
