Comment:

Some of the most beautiful tunes in the world have their source in some of our darkest emotions. Let’s face it, suffering often brings out the best in creative people . . . unless you prefer to argue that geniuses are born to suffer: it’s just in their nature. The upshot of widespread melancholy for you, the lover of pop pain, is a playlist as enthralling and heart wrenching as any we’ve ever compiled. With these tracks, sweet melancholy never hurt so good, so draw down the blinds, turn up the sounds, and wallow in the spirit-lifting sadness of Fairport Convention (“Who Knows Where the Time Goes?”), Frank Sinatra (“One for My Baby”), Dusty Springfield (“I Don’t Want to Hear It Anymore”), Chet Baker (“The Thrill Is Gone”) and their many companions in blissful woe.
