You know when you feel a bit meh and just want to listen to sad songs or love ballads? That’s how I’m feeling.
What should I add?

Elton John “Sorry seems to be the hardest word” always gets me

Yadaaday · 18/01/2020 19:27

I’ll start with one of my favourite songs to sing when I’m sad
Maybe this time from Cabaret. It’s so dramatic and sad.

All By Myself, the Celine Dion version for extra angst.

When she loved me (Toy Story)?
I think really you want to connect it to a sad moment- lyrics alone aren't enough for me, usually.

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 18/01/2020 19:35

Purple Rain. I love that song

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 18/01/2020 19:36

Country and western is good for this.

Lots of Patsy Cline songs (Crazy is a good one). Roy Orbison (Crying).

Love songs — A Woman in Love (Guys and Dolls), Till there was you (The Music Man).

That type of feel?
