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.
