Sad and Reflective Songs…

I’m glad I’m not alone in my preference for musical melancholia, I’m fortunate enough to have a listening room isolated from the rest of the house or I would never get to listen to half of my collection :roll_eyes:

I’m a huge Jonathan Richman fan, seen him live many times…
Sad and reflective, sure, but certainly full of love passion and positivity.

The text is by Charles Anthony Silvestri, covering his wife’s battle with cancer (she died, in 2005 I think). You can read the text here. It’s intensley personal, and harrowing. Yet again personal tragedy begets music of the highest order.
