Comment:

This one just came out of the blue (but not really the blues) one day at work. Just sat down and worked it out. And it is a little strange here and there, most notably the Papa M song. Still getting used to it, but there you go.

i must admit: i'm a sucker for a good sad song, & this definitely hits the spot - the emmylou harris, ryan adams, mag fields, bob dylan & merle haggard are top notch especially.

Ah les joies et les peines. I feel nothing but sorrow every time I hear the dreadful voice of Cilla Black. The rest is sweet sorrow though!

This is the bees knees! M. Ward Sad Sad Song may have fitted although on reflection it's a bit of a misnomer as I find it to be quite uplifting meself. Anyway, love the Papa M, Alasdair, and Po' Girl especially.

Elton John was right. Those sad songs say so much. I only know a few songs here, but that Magnetic Fields is excellent -- even if it has a rather upbeat melody.

Nice. That "little strange" quality is one of my favorite things about this mix.
