I don't think of my songs as sad songs. I think of them as vulnerable and honest. I crack jokes in between songs, so people don't leave feeling too dark.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really do sad, depressing songs.
I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world.
As a songwriter I hate this whole, 'If it's a sad song, it has to sound like a sad song thing.' And that goes all the way back to my days with the Format. I'm an insane narcissist, so if I have to get something off my chest, I'll get something off my chest.
For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.
The saddest songs are written when a person is happy.
I'm not a morose person; it's just that my best songs reflect on the sadder aspects of life.
It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something.
I'm such an emotional and sensitive person, so it only makes sense that my songs are as well.
I think I drift toward sad love songs.
I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad.
