Emotions: Sad Songs

Well, bum everybody out, why don't you! These are songs for the more somber moods. Your tear ducts will be jerked and your heartstrings overworked as you contemplate these melancholy tunes. They range from mournful ballads dedicated to a loss to glum dwellings about the rotten state of everything in general.

While they take a sour worldview, don't think of sad songs as a negative thing. Think of them as a healing catharsis, letting tears wash the soul of residual angst in preparation for facing the next dawn with a new lease on life.
