There's no shortage of sad songs about rainy days and lovers who don't bring flowers. And then there are songs that truly bring the pain -- songs so despairing they can make us wonder why we even bother. Here are 25 little ditties so crushing, they could knock Dick Cheney to his knees or just render his pacemaker usless [don't we all wish]
p.s.] I'm going from 25-1 cause really thats how a count down goes.... so 1 is actually 25... got it... if not don't complain to me about your stupidity.
p.s.] this is very sad indeed to add to said sad song list, but alas I have lost the bottom half of my list in a move/ computer difficulty... so maybe with a little help from all of you, we can finish off the list?
