music has a lot of power. a certain song can stay with you for years simply because of where you hear it or what the situation is. some songs can bring you to tears with the first notes, others can make you laugh even when the song itself is sad. man's greatest emotional outlet is his voice, but the greatest way to let those emotions flow and be heard is music. heartbreak is probably the most common musical topic, i mean hell, there are genres named simply for the sadness of the music they encapsulate.
sad songs are my favorite type of music. i search for them, you know, misery loves company. it's uplifting in a way, to know that someone else is feeling the way you do and can put your emotions into an outlet so clearly and focussed. sad songs give me hope for better days, strange as that may sound.
here's probably the best mix i have made in years. it's not necessarily my favorite songs by the artists or even their best, but it flows as if each song was written to go with each other on this. get to downloading folks, and keep the tissues close.

Is it wrong if your sad mix makes me happy?
I'm a newcomer to your blog and like an eighth grader at a dead show i can't get enough.
I've never heard most of these and its funny how sometimes you never knew something was missing until you find it.
