Elton John probably said it best: “sad songs say so much”.
We all have our own “go to” music that we listen to whenever we’re going through a difficult time. Some use music to help reinforce one’s feelings; others use music to get the listener to a certain emotional level.
It’s no secret that there are “happy” songs; heck, we all thrive on toe-tapping hits that make us feel good.
But there is a market, a need for “sad” songs as well.
