I wanna learn a sad, expressive and yet a powerful song!  ? 
Any tips?
It doesn't have to be on bass, i can easily transpose it if it's not going between alot of octaves. |

If you know how to tap, Moonlight Sonata is very solemn. |

| | | | Hmm... you could try tapping George Winston's 'Autumn Moon', it is a sad song.

The theme to Schindler's List might sound neat on a fretless...though I think Itzhak Perlman with his violin cannot be beaten. |

Anything by Tom Waits will be solemn. Same thing for Iron and Wine. |
