Sad Song Quotes

Richard Thompson quote: "It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad..."
It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something. Richard Thompson
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. Nate Ruess
I like 'Bewitched' off the first album because it's one of the happiest songs I've ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs. Malcolm Wilson
Gentle lady, do not sing Sad songs about the end of love; Lay aside sadness and sing How love that passes is enough. Sing about the long deep sleep Of lovers that are dead, and how. In the grave all love shall sleep: Love is aweary now. James Joyce

When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me. With showers and dewdrops wet: And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows, I shall not feel the rain; I shall not hear the nightingale. Sing on as if in pain: And dreaming through the twilight. That doth not rise nor set, Haply I may remember, And haply I may forget. Christina G. Rossetti
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. Reba McEntire
Steve Martin quote: "The banjo is such a happy instrument--you can't play a sad..."
The banjo is such a happy instrument--you can't play a sad song on the banjo - it always comes out so cheerful. Steve Martin
The unhappiest people I know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives. Nick Hornby
Charles M. Schulz quote: "Happiness is a sad song."
Happiness is a sad song. Charles M. Schulz
Don't Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word. Mac Davis
Bob Livingston quote: "I don't wanta do any Blues or any sad songs."
I don't wanta do any Blues or any sad songs. Bob Livingston
I didn't want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness, timidity and fear. I didn't want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs. Lionel Blue
Are you - are you sad?" - No. "But your - your songs are sad." - My songs are of time and distance. The sadness is in you. Watch my arms. There is only the dance. These things you treasure are shells. William Gibson
