Everyone has those days where you’re sad because of a bad day, or if you’re just feeling down and you don’t know why. Something that has ironically made me feel better during these days is listening to sad music. I don’t really have any explanation as to why, but it’s always cheered me up, kind of like when you’re in the car and you pretend you’re in a music video when you have your head on the window! Nevertheless, here are 20 songs for those unavoidable sad days.
