Here’s a cheery little number from my youth:

How about “Alone Again Naturally” by Gilbert O’Sullivan? Though that one just made me laugh.
Gah! I was 11 years old when that Laura and Tommy tune came out, and I was the only girl around who was not going around singing it, because I listen to music to be happy, not depressed. The “Last Kiss” song was not as conducive to sadness-not sure why-Pearl Jam did a good remake, too. If sad music depresses the youth of today so easily, they obviously need reality therapy-what a bunch of wussses. And now I’m going to crank up some AC/DC to get rid of the sad earworm...
You probably won't like him, but I liked the Pearl Jam number you offered up. 👍
