A good half the cuts on Emmylou Harris' records of the 1970's. Such as "Making Believe" and "Pancho and Lefty." And don't forget R.E.M. It didn't hurt that Michael Stipe simply has a mournful voice. The band itself could musically express mournfulness to the proverbial T. Think of cuts like "Cuyahoga." How about "I Wanted Everything" by the Ramones?
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.
