Sad Songs.
There are certain songs out there that, when you listen to them, trigger certain emotions/memories from your past. This usually revolves around previous relationships that either didn’t materialise, or if they did never ultimately worked out the way you would have liked.
Today, for example, I was listening to some old songs while rebuilding a HP ProLiant DL160 Gen 9 (as you do!) Next on the playlist was a song called “Can’t Stay Away From You” by Gloria Estefan, which came out way back 1987.
It’s quite an emotive song, and at the time I used to play it to death purely because I was dating a girl whom I really liked but never had the balls to get past 1st base. I left it and left it to the point where she left the company we were working for and I never saw again!
To this day I regret not being a bit more assertive. But listening to that song really hit home, and it made me think of what might have been!
There’s another song, by a folk group called Bon Iver. The song is called “Holocene”. And that too sets off similar emotions of yet another girl I never really got past 1st or 2nd base with.
I blame myself of course, for being a gutless wimp back then. But it always intrigues me how certain songs can trigger such reflective memories/emotions.
How about you? Any sad songs you care to mention?

You soppy cunts. I like to reflect by listening to never mind the bollocks. Or failing that puppy 🐶 love.

I was a big Spandau Ballet fan and, for me, True was the saddest song because it was so shit.

Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse does it for me every time…….

Urban Spaceman by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band, hopelessly heart wrenching, a song of desolation and optimism at the same time, proper made me sniffle into my bag of whelks once.
