  1. Sad music when you’re sad is, ironically, a way to feel better, or at least to feel safer. In those moments, feeling like you’re psychically alone is devastating, and music that reminds you that other people have felt like you do is a tether to connect you to people when you’re at your lowest.
  2. Loreena McKennitt is superior to Enya.
  3. Neither of them wrote the world’s saddest song. A redneck from Bandera, Texas wrote the world’s saddest song. Sorry for the Spotify link.

Weapons grade sad song: Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel.

My favorite go to sad song nuke is, strangely enough, "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Loreena McKennitt is not in competition with Enya. Them ladies be chill.

Fair. She would never. She’s not that guy.

But I am that guy, and I have a favorite ethereal new-agey soprano. 😂

Melancholy is a warm blanket.

And being sad is not a crime.
