The 1970s had songs that could make you hang yourself if rope was near in an instant.

Seasons in the Sun. Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word, At 17, Cats in the Cradle, Send in the Clowns, Wish You Were Here...

Just Brutal.

Years ago, someone in the country music industry (I forget whom) said: Happy songs sell records. Sad songs sell beer.”

That said, I think there are more sad songs today because most musical artists are leftists, and as we all know, leftists don’t know how to do anything but complain all the time.

Sad songs not only can say a lot, but they can also be very beautiful. To me, the saddest popular song of all time is Little Mother by Vaughn De Leath, a hit in the summer of 1928. A Cottage for Sale by Ruth Etting (1930) and Stop the Sun, Stop the Moon by Paul Whiteman (1932) are very sad but also very beautiful.
