i am exhausted and i have a feeling our good friend estrogen has a lot to do with this, but i am in the mood to just sit around and listen to sad songs. even sadder songs than i usually listen to (note: people are always saying i only listen to "kill yourself" music. i call it mellow. what-ev).
so without further ado, here is a list of sad songs to darken your day

um...yeah, i could go on all night, i should stop now, i really must go to bed early so i don't feel like this when i wake up. it's funny though - i really think sad music makes you LESS sad. it's like john cusack says in high fidelity - are we miserable because we listen to pop music? or do we listen to pop music because we're miserable?
time to smoke a butt and hit the hay.
lists,
sad,
music
