Sad songs are better when they don’t try too hard to be sad. Sorry, Morrissey
Bon Iver’s new album has some really moving tracks. esp. Holocene and Beth/Rest
[reply][reply]“I’ll Remember You” from Skid Row was my cousin’s senior class song. He passed away a few months after graduation. It always brings back the memories, even 21 years later.
Not to get technical, but the song title is called " I remember you." It’s on their self titled debut album.
