How is this sad? It feels almost celebratory to me.
Jesus & Mary Chain 'Something Wrong' is my favorite sad song.

"Green Eyes" and "Amsterdam" by Coldplay
"The Longest Winter" by Pedro the Lion (and everything on that album)
then there's some stuff by U2
and Dashboard Confessional
and The Ataris
and…and…
And, well, as much as I was unimpressed with The Format's Interventions and Lullabies, their song "On Your Porch" is an amazing track.
…and I'm going to stop now. I could make an eternal list of wallowing. But I won't.
I think the only reason this list would make me sad is due to the overwhelming amount of crap.

Right. Well, you see, I listen to everything, as opposed to selective elitist artists. So I'm sorry you don't agree down to a tee with my musical choices. Some of those songs obviously have sentimental value to me. You don't have to be so rude about it.

Perhaps "melancholy" or "nostalgic" would be a more apt desription. I just find the tone of the music to be somewhat forlorn.

their rendering of that song gives it a completely different feel than the original. kozelek has a way of doing that, i suppose.

I'm always sad when people think that's a Jeff Buckley song.
