“Songs are as sad as the listener.”

“It was such a sweet, sad song with such sweet, sad lyrics. Old-fashioned a little, but also timeless.”

“I was so, so lost and unhappy. If you listen to the songs on the first album, you can hear it. They’re really sad songs and they come from a lonely place. The relationship broke up, and I went into free fall. I saw drugs as a way of avoiding…the darkness.”

“Gay was oft my song when I was gay, sad it is now that I am sad.”
Laeta fere laetus cecini, cano tristia tristis.

“A song nobody likes is a sad thing. But a love song nobody likes is hardly a thing at all.”

“Songwriters write songs, but they really belong to the listener.”

“And it's the same sad song coming back again. The same old song, flows back again. ~ "So Much Work"”

“This next song is about how sad I am. It's about all the sad stuff; just picture a depressed onion cutting itself.”

“A boy's hunched body loved out of a stalk
The first song of his happiness, and the song woke
His heart to the darkness and into the sadness of joy.”

“Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better.”
