Sad Songs

 

 

Ever notice

How so many songs

Are sad songs

 

Even the really rockin’ ones

Are kind of sad

When you dig into the lyrics

 

I’ve been told

The best creativity

Comes from the deepest pain

From the really tortured souls

 

I guess that’s why

So many great artists

Meet their demise

All too young

 

I don’t think I’m going anywhere

Anytime soon

But lately it seems

That all those sad songs

Mean something to me

 

A friend asked

If I was a tortured soul

I answered with a qualified yes

It helps with the creativity

 

But since I’m not a great writer

I guess I’m not tortured

I’m just a guy

Who hears a lot of sad song
