Sad songs- We love them- We need them


Hello everyone,

I was listening the other day to a sad song on my playlist and realized their ability to invoke a powerful emotional reaction. Usually about someone in your life. Your children, your special lady or man or maybe someone who is no longer living. I realized we need these songs to remind us life is short and to remember what is most important to us. I thought I would ask everyone to list a song or two that is special to them. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a sad song. I have children so I will start with a few songs that remind me to tell them I love them more often or give them an extra hug or two. 
 

Cats in the cradle- Harry Chapin

Jacobs Dream - Allison Krause 

Hell Is for Children- Pat Benetar

Ron

That’s the way - Led Zeppelin

Robert would later (with LZ and solo) sometimes write some lyrics where he expressed some quite profound sadness, more in the form of tributes.

Deepest condolences. You are one of the unlucky ones, we usually go first. Wish I could hug you.

I’m very sorry to hear about your wife. You must have many wonderful memories to keep her right there with you.
