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.
Cats in the cradle- Harry Chapin
Jacobs Dream - Allison Krause
Hell Is for Children- Pat Benetar

@waytoomuchstuff and @tooblue,
My heart is heavy for both of you after reading this thread. I have two boys (actually adults of 31 and 28 years old, both teachers in High School and Middle School, but they will always be "my boys"), and I can't bear to envision a World without them. My sympathies to you both and I hope time, memories, and music have helped soothe the scar.
Allen
