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.

@mitchagain  yes I think it is the unique combo of cynicism and depression! 
seeing him live in DC in a few weeks;  sure hope he’s not in love!

"Gloom, Despair, And Agony On Me"  Hee Haw

"The Ballad Of Dwight Fry"  Alice Cooper

@spenav, Thank you so much for the thought, what a sweet special gesture. It was my beautiful 36 year old daughter I lost in a car wreck 8 month ago. Enjoy the music

I can imagine no greater pain than losing a child. I have two daughters and a son. I’m so sorry.
