    I chose these songs for different reasons. Some just sound melencholoy, some lyrics are melencholy, and some remind me of sad things. The last is the case with Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. I didn’t put it in the list because I didn’t think most people would understand, so I’ll explain it here…While listening to this song a long time ago, I came up with a very specific plot to a book that I want to write someday. The plot is a very sad and depressing one, and I don’t want to fully explain it. I don’t want anyone to steal my novel idea :) .

    If anyone can add to this list, or think of any sad song that I’ve missed or don’t know, please tell me and I’ll be sure to check it out, thanks!
