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.

"The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" Gordon Lightfoot.

I can't listen to this song without getting choaked up a little.  My wife and I spent some time in Michigan's Upper Peninsula last year.  Being there made the song even more real to me.
