My "Bittersweet" song list. The saddest songs.

Was talking to Susan Cain today on the podcast. She has a book coming out called "Bittersweet" about how melancholy isn't always what it seems. That it could make one more creative, more empathetic, etc. She told me she had a list of songs that made her sad. They all make heavy usage of minor keys. So I made my own list.

These are all songs that could easily make me cry.

1. "Five Years" by David Bowie

2. "Grandma's Hands" by Bill Withers

3. Theme Song for "Schindler's List"

4. "Nobody Knows" by Leonard Cohen

5. "Creep" by Scala

6. "At Last" by Etta James

7. Theme Song for the TV show "Carnevale" (when I watch the intro credits on YouTube).

8. "In the End" by Tommee Profit

9. "Dear Prudence" by the Beatles

10. "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone
