Happiness is a sad song. ~ Charles M. Schulz
Sad Song quotes by Charles M. Schulz
You're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry ~ Taylor Swift
Sad Song quotes by Taylor Swift
The suffering or the bad memories are as important as the good memories, and the good experiences. If you sort of, can imagine life as being 99% of the time quite linear, and most of the time you're in a state of neither happiness nor sadness. And then that 1% of the time you experience moments of very crystalised happiness, or crystalised sadness, or loneliness or depression. And I believe all of those moments are very pertinant. It's like I said to you, that for me it's mostly those crystalised moments of melancholy which are more inspirational to me. And in a strange way they become quite beautiful in their own way. Music that is sad, melancholic, depressing, is in a kind of perverse way more uplifting. I find happy music extremely depressing, mostly - mostly quite depressing. It's particularly this happy music that has no spirituality behind it - if it's just sort of mindless party music, it'd be quite depressing. But largely speaking, I was the kind of person that responds more to melancholia, and it makes me feel good. And I think the reason for this is, I think if you respond strongly to that kind of art, it's because in a way it makes you feel like you're not alone. So when we hear a very sad song, it makes us realise that we do share this kind of common human experience, and we're all kind of bonded in sadness and melancholia and depression. ~ Steven John Wilson
Sad Song quotes by Steven John Wilson
If
you sing a sad song loud enough, the boys
on those torpedo boats
can hear you under the sea. ~ Laura Kasischke
Sad Song quotes by Laura Kasischke
I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don't think being sad is to be avoided. It's apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that's sadistic of me. ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Sad Song quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph that liv'st unseen
Within thy airy shell
By slow Meander's margent green,
And in the violet-imbroider'd vale
Where the love-lorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well:
Canst thou not tell me of a gentle pair
That likest thy Narcissus are? ~ John Milton
Sad Song quotes by John Milton
And it's a sad song, Todd, but it's also a promise. I'll never deceive you and I'll never leave you and I promise you this so you can one day promise it to others and know that it's true. ~ Patrick Ness
Sad Song quotes by Patrick Ness
It was such a sweet, sad song with such sweet, sad lyrics. Old-fashioned a little, but also timeless. ~ Gabrielle Zevin
Sad Song quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
I think I've gotten a pretty fair shake in the music press over the years. The only think that kind of irks me is when people assume that I must be really depressed person because they find my songs to be sad. ~ Thalia Zedek
Sad Song quotes by Thalia Zedek
Even in the sad songs, I want people to know that it won't always be like that. ~ Rayvon Owen
Sad Song quotes by Rayvon Owen
Every rose has its thorn. Just like every night has its dawn. Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song. Every rose has it's thorn. ~ Poison
Sad Song quotes by Poison
I don't want to die and leave a few sad songs and a hump in the ground as my only monument. I want to leave a world that is liberated from trash, pollution, racism, nation-states, nation-state wars and armies, from pomp, bigotry, parochialism, a thousand different brands of untruth and licentious, usurious economics. ~ George Jackson
Sad Song quotes by George Jackson
I promise I'll never tell."
"Don't promise that," he said in an ultraserious voice. "If they try to hurt you and the only way to protect yourself is to tell them what you know about me, then you tell them. Straight off, okay?"
"No."
"Promise me."
"No!"
"I will possess your heart."
Heat flared along the back of my neck. "What did you say?"
"My favorite song. 'I Will Possess Your Heart.'"
"By Death Cab for Cutie?"
He snorted. "No, the little known T.I. Hip-hop remix. Yes, Death Cab for Cutie."
... "Why? What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing, but it doesn't seem to fit you. It's kind of a sad song."
"No it's pure confident. It's not 'I want' or 'I need', none of that crap." He slipped his hand over mine. "It's 'I will.'"
A nervous laugh bubbled up. "You will, huh?"
His fingers brushed my cheek, then slid into my hair. "I will. ~ Jeri Smith-Ready
Sad Song quotes by Jeri Smith-Ready
I thought of the words of an old song, a sad song, that I had sung for him once: Oh, my love, I would shatter my own heart a thousand times before I hurt yours. But I had already shattered my own heart, and it had made no difference. ~ Zoe Marriott
Sad Song quotes by Zoe Marriott
Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing
How love that passes is enough.
Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead, and how
In the grave all love shall sleep:
Love is aweary now. ~ James Joyce
Sad Song quotes by James Joyce
Slowly, he starts to hum. I recognize the tune as the sad song, the one we kissed to in a room full of moonlight.
Thunder rumbles in the clouds, threatening to burst. Raindrops pitter on the dome above us. It shocks and sizzles the rain, but the water keeps coming in a steady downpour. Even the sky weeps for our loss. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Sad Song quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Bubba shot the jukebox last night, said it played a sad song and it made him cry. ~ Mark Chesnutt
Sad Song quotes by Mark Chesnutt
Fly with those who lift you up and thrust you forward

A pilot friend of mine told me there are four main principles to master when flying airplanes: lift, thrust, weight, and drag. You have to take all these into account to make sure the plane will fly.
It struck me that these same principles apply to specific types of people. There are some who lift you, brighten your day, cheer you up, and make you feel better about yourself. You meet them and you have a spring in your step. They're a lift. Then there are people who thrust you. They inspire you, motivate you, challenge you to move forward and pursue your dreams. The third group are weights. They pull you down, dump their problems on you, so that you leave feeling heavier, negative, discouraged, and worse than you did before.
Finally, there are those who are a drag. They've always got a sad song. The dishwasher broke. The goldfish died. They didn't get invited to a party. They're stuck in a pit. They expect you to cheer them up, fix their problems, and carry their loads.
We all encounter people from each of these four groups. You have to make sure you're spending the majority of your time with lifters and thrusters. If you're only hanging out with weights and drags, it will keep you from becoming everything you were created to be. ~ Joel Osteen
Sad Song quotes by Joel Osteen
The pattern's laid out on the bed
With dozens of colors of thread
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point in the end ~ Amanda Palmer
Sad Song quotes by Amanda Palmer
Holding up an oil-paper umbrella,
I loiter aimlessly in the long, long
And lonely rainy alley,
I hope to encounter
A lilac-like girl
Nursing her resentment
A lilac-like color she has
A lilac-like fragrance,
A lilac-like sadness,
Melancholy in the rain,
Sorrowful and uncertain;
She loiters aimlessly in this lonely rainy alley
Holding up an oil-paper umbrella
Just like me
And just like me
Walks silently,
Apathetic, sad and disconsolate
Silently she moves closer
Moves closer and casts
A sigh-like glance
She glides by
Like a dream
Hazy and confused like a dream
As in a dream she glides past
Like a lilac spray,
This girl glides past beside me;
She silently moves away, moves away
Up to the broken-down bamboo fence,
To the end of the rainy alley.
In the rains sad song,
Her color vanishes
Her fragrance diffuses,
Even her
Sigh-like glance,
Lilac-like discontent
Vanish.
Holding up an oil-paper umbrella, alone
Aimlessly walking in the long, long
And lonely rainy alley,
I wish for
A lilac-like girl
Nursing her resentment glide by. ~ Dai Wangshu
Sad Song quotes by Dai Wangshu
There's a truth to the fact that it's hard to be real. It's easy to be indulgent. It's easy to be bubble gum, but it's hard to find a real thing that really makes your soul tick. It's painful and honest. It can be more challenging than just a sad song. ~ Mat Kearney
Sad Song quotes by Mat Kearney
We were quiet on the car ride home. I turned on the radio and found a station playing "Hey Jude." It was true, I didn't want to make it bad. I wanted to take the sad song and make it better. It's just that I didn't know how. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Sad Song quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
He clenches his jaw, twisting and turning as he looks for some way out of this. But there isn't one. I don't expect him to forgive me, and I don't deserve it either. But his hand closes ovdf mine, holding on to the last person on his side.
Slowly he starts to hum. I recognize the tune as the sad song, the one we kissed to in a room full of moonlight. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Sad Song quotes by Victoria Aveyard
She's too drunk to remember all the words, but it doesn't matter - he already knows them. It's his song, the one he was named for, and she's sung it since he was a baby. He knows all about carrying the world on your shoulders, all about letting her into your heart, all about making the sad song better. ~ Eleanor Henderson
Sad Song quotes by Eleanor Henderson
'The Taxi Ride,' from my second album, is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street, to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity, and that's a sad song. ~ Jane Siberry
Sad Song quotes by Jane Siberry
It's fun to sing sad songs. And it's fun to listen to sad songs. Enjoyable. Satisfying. Something. ~ Richard Thompson
Sad Song quotes by Richard Thompson
I take my inspiration for the song writing from little experiences, not even if I've experienced them myself but say if something has made me sad, I will use that emotion. I just use everyday life and write about it. ~ Pixie Lott
Sad Song quotes by Pixie Lott
Maybe I'd see how you could be so certain that we had no chance...at all. ~ Jason Robert Brown
Sad Song quotes by Jason Robert Brown
The banjo is such a happy instrument
you can't play a sad song on the banjo - it always comes out so cheerful. ~ Steve Martin
Sad Song quotes by Steve Martin
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing. ~ Alan Jackson
Sad Song quotes by Alan Jackson
Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. ~ The Beatles
Sad Song quotes by The Beatles
Some things a heart won't listen to, I'm still holding out for you ~ SHeDAISY
Sad Song quotes by SHeDAISY
Why is it that when your life is at a breaking point, every freaking song on the radio relates to it. If I heard one more sad song, I was going to rip the radio out of the dash and toss it out on the road. ~ Jennifer Foor
Sad Song quotes by Jennifer Foor
There Is A Place.

There is a place, I want to show you.
There is a place, just down the road.
There is a place, down by the river.
There is a place, that I call home...
There is a place, that I would play as a kid.
There is a place, that I would walk alone.
There is a place, and it's like a sad song.
There is a place, that is now long gone...
Here is a place, will you come see?
This is the place in my mind, I'd like to be.
Just open your mind, and think.
Is there a place, you would like to be? ~ Jerrel C. Thomas
Sad Song quotes by Jerrel C. Thomas
Be On Your Way is one of the favorite songs I've ever written. What a terribly sad song, but what a beautiful melody. ~ Dan Fogelberg
Sad Song quotes by Dan Fogelberg
I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am. ~ Shelby Lynne
Sad Song quotes by Shelby Lynne
I miss everything about you
Can't believe that I still want you
And after all the things we've been through ~ Colbie Caillat
Sad Song quotes by Colbie Caillat
Generally I don't listen to sad songs if I'm sad. I listen to happy songs. ~ Sinead O'Connor
Sad Song quotes by Sinead O'Connor
The love-lorn nightingale nightly to thee her sad song mourneth well. ~ John Milton
Sad Song quotes by John Milton
Varys appeared not long after Lord Jacelyn had left. "Men are such faithless creatures," he said by way of greeting. Tyrion sighed. "Who's the traitor today?" The eunuch handed him a scroll. "So much villainy, it sings a sad song for our age. Did honor die with your fathers? ~ George R R Martin
Sad Song quotes by George R R Martin
Don't Cry Daddy is a pretty sad song. He got to the end of it and it was just real quiet and Elvis says, I'm gonna cut that someday for my daddy. And, by God, he did. He lived up to his word. ~ Mac Davis
Sad Song quotes by Mac Davis
The sarissa's song is a sad song.
He pipes it soft and low.
I would ply a gentler trade, says he,
But war is all I know. ~ Steven Pressfield
Sad Song quotes by Steven Pressfield
It is true that the present is powerfully shaped by the past. But it is also true that ... insight at any age keeps us from singing the same sad songs again. ~ Judith Viorst
Sad Song quotes by Judith Viorst
Where are now the warriors of the world of the spirit? Where are those who raise their voices for truth, who lead us to goodness, beauty, strength and health? Where are those who utter heartwarming words, who will lead us out of the wilderness? Our homes are gone and the nation is destroyed, yet we have no Jeremiah crying out his last sad song to the world and to posterity. ~ Lu Xun
Sad Song quotes by Lu Xun
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have my heart ~ Boyz II Men
Sad Song quotes by Boyz II Men
I drew it over my skin like a violins bow, No one would ever hear the song of my shame. ~ Jodi Picoult
Sad Song quotes by Jodi Picoult
Most people like the sad songs. Some of the oldest songs known to man are sad. Listening to a voice singing something sad is a really great way to help you to feel sad when you need to. ~ Patty Griffin
Sad Song quotes by Patty Griffin
I'd rather sing a sad song than eat, ~ George Jones
Sad Song quotes by George Jones
'Dancing on My Own' is actually a really sad song! It has totally made me cry. ~ Gillian Jacobs
Sad Song quotes by Gillian Jacobs
There are too many ways to drown even if you don't want to drown. ~ Charles Bukowski
Sad Song quotes by Charles Bukowski
You crossed the water, left me ashore
It killed me enough, but you wanted more
You blew up the bridge, a mad terrorist
Waved from your side, through me a kiss
I started to follow but realized too late
There was nothing but air underneath my feet"
- from the song "Bridge" on the Collateral Damage album ~ Gayle Forman
Sad Song quotes by Gayle Forman
I thought about packing my bags, I thought about jumping out a window, I sat on the bed and thought, I thought about you. What kind of food did you life, what was your favorite song, who was the first girl you kissed, and where, and how, I'm running out of room, I want an infinitely long blank book and forever. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Sad Song quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
He was a friendly but sad figure. People said of him: 'A rich man who is not proud. A fortunate man who does not look happy. ~ Victor Hugo
Sad Song quotes by Victor Hugo
I think that you should just be yourself and make sure you pick a really, really good song, and make sure you're memorable. ~ Cher Lloyd
Sad Song quotes by Cher Lloyd
No, there's something about the sing-song cadence of children's music that has its place in rock. ~ Dave Grohl
Sad Song quotes by Dave Grohl
If you are kind enough today, history will sing your song and be kind to you. ~ Debasish Mridha
Sad Song quotes by Debasish Mridha
I feel like 'Work' was a really good song for people to get to know me, as it's obviously biographical. With 'Bounce,' I wanted to make sure people know there's a fun side to me as well as the somber and serious one. ~ Iggy Azalea
Sad Song quotes by Iggy Azalea
I used to think I couldn't go a day without your smile. Without telling you things and hearing your voice back.
Then, that day arrived and it was so damn hard but the next was harder. I knew with a sinking feeling it was going to get worse, and I wasn't going to be okay for a very long time.
Because losing someone isn't an occasion or an event. It doesn't just happen once. It happens over and over again. I lose you every time I pick up your favorite coffee mug; whenever that one song plays on the radio, or when I discover your old t-shirt at the bottom of my laundry pile.
I lose you every time I think of kissing you, holding you, or wanting you. I go to bed at night and lose you, when I wish could tell you about my day. And in the morning, when I wake and reach for the empty space across the sheets, begin to lose you all over again. ~ Lang Leav
Sad Song quotes by Lang Leav
Sad people are too sad to do anything but drink brandy and sleep all day. ~ Carlton Mellick III
Sad Song quotes by Carlton Mellick III
You do realize you just mixed Disney metaphors, right? Disney metaphors. Wow, Calla, now I'm just sad for you. ~ Andrea Cremer
Sad Song quotes by Andrea Cremer
'Chamalkay' is an old Guyanese slang word. It means a 'young mischievous girl.' It's not derogatory, but it isn't over complimentary, either. It was probably a word I just Googled one day, and the song kind of played into the feel of that. ~ Dev Hynes
Sad Song quotes by Dev Hynes
I started toward the barn and was grateful that the wind was still. About halfway up the drive, my heart began to beat an irregular rhythm as I caught sight of Cricket coming toward me. My breath caught in my throat. This girl. This tiny little girl had such incredible power over me with her big, blue, round, sad eyes. Her unusual face, her unusually striking face. Her pert nose. The faint laugh lines around her eyes and mouth. And I didn't know her, didn't really even know if she and I were anything alike but that didn't stop me from wishing we shared a future ... even if she did belong to someone else. ~ Fisher Amelie
Sad Song quotes by Fisher Amelie
Religion is like this; a prayer, a song, a flower, a white sugar ball, a chime of the brass bell, the rendering of mantra, closing one's eyes; Meditation. ~ Aporva Kala
Sad Song quotes by Aporva Kala
It's not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere, it's more like a song on a policeman's radio, how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces. ~ Richard Siken
Sad Song quotes by Richard Siken
We broke so easily. Like it was nothing. Like we were nothing. Does that mean it was never meant to be in the first place? That we were an accident of fate? If we were meant to be, how could we both walk away like that? ~ Jenny Han
Sad Song quotes by Jenny Han
We're all about trying to play better every night, not just singing hit songs ... we ad lib, and every night there's jamming .. it's almost like the Grateful Dead meets Buck Owens some nights, because we'll go off on little adventures and sometimes we do crash the bus! ... ~ Brad Paisley
Sad Song quotes by Brad Paisley
I think it's fine for a singer to sing someone else's song. But the thing I don't like is when a singer that can write songs starts getting someone else to do it for them. ~ Howard Lawrence
Sad Song quotes by Howard Lawrence
There's this one song called 'Final Warning' that I'm really excited about because I love the contrast of my vocal sounding very soothing and my harsh lyrics. ~ Skylar Grey
Sad Song quotes by Skylar Grey
Peter Forsberg's skills and determination made him one of the most powerful forwards in the NHL during the best years of his career. Hearing of his retirement is sad news but one day every athlete has to come to this decision. He should be very proud of all he accomplished throughout his career. ~ Patrick Roy
Sad Song quotes by Patrick Roy
beginnings are usually scary and sending are sad, but its everything inbetween that makes life worth living ~ Lauren Vargo
Sad Song quotes by Lauren Vargo
Whoever has been poor and lonely himself understands other poor and lonely people all the better. At least we should learn to understand our fellow beings, for we are powerless to stop their misery, their ignominy, their suffering, their weakness, and their death.
One day Frau Wilke whispered, as she stretched out her hand and arm to me: "Hold my hand. It's like ice."
I took her poor, old, thin hand in mine. It was cold as ice.
Frau Wilke crept about her home now like a ghost. Nobody visited her. For days she sat alone in her unheated room.
To be alone: icy, iron terror, foretaste of the grave, forerunner of unpitying death. Oh, whoever has been himself alone can never find another's loneliness strange.
I began to realize that Frau Wilke had nothing to eat. The lady who owned the house, and later took Frau Wilke's rooms, allowing me to stay in mine, brought, of course in pity for her forsaken state, every midday and evening a cup of broth, but not for long, and so Frau Wilke faded away. She lay there, no longer moving: and soon she was taken to the city hospital, where, after three days, she died.
One afternoon soon after her death, I entered her empty room, into which the good evening sun was shining, gladdening it with rose-bright, gay and soft colors. There I saw on the bed the things which the poor lady had till recently worn.... The strange sight of them made me unspeakably sad, and my peculiar state of mind made it seem to me almost t ~ Robert Walser
Sad Song quotes by Robert Walser
Please don't tell me not to be sad. I know you don't like to see me hurting, but my sadness is mine to feel, not yours to heal. Let me be sad. It will pass in its own time. It always does. ~ Scott Stabile
Sad Song quotes by Scott Stabile
I'm not the kind of writer that can wake up and say, "Okay, I'm gonna write a song today," and have that song be the kind I would want to record. The songs of mine that I end up liking are songs that come from real experience. They're like chapter titles in my life. ~ Lyle Lovett
Sad Song quotes by Lyle Lovett
Personally, I'm a mess of conflicting impulses - I'm independent and greedy and I also want to belong and share and be a part of the whole. I doubt that I'm the only one who feels this way. It's the core of monster making, actually. Wanna make a monster? Take the parts of yourself that make you uncomfortable - your weaknesses, bad thoughts, vanities, and hungers - and pretend they're across the room. It's too ugly to be human. It's too ugly to be you. Children are afraid of the dark because they have nothing real to work with. Adults are afraid of themselves.
Oh we're a mess, poor humans, poor flesh - hybrids of angels and animals, dolls with diamonds stuffed inside them. We've been to the moon and we're still fighting over Jerusalem. Let me tell you what I do know: I am more than one thing, and not all of those things are good. The truth is complicated. It's two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet. I used to think that if I dug deep enough to discover something sad and ugly, I'd know it was something true. Now I'm trying to dig deeper. ~ Richard Siken
Sad Song quotes by Richard Siken
I think great songs can come from anywhere and you constantly have to be able to look out for those. I think a lot of the times people will try too hard to write everything themselves and therefor miss out on great songs that way. ~ Jason Aldean
Sad Song quotes by Jason Aldean
Emme pulled on Cole's hand. "Why are they crying?"
Her uncle bent down. "Well, sometimes when all your dreams come true? The best you can do is cry. It's happy, not sad. ~ Debra Anastasia
Sad Song quotes by Debra Anastasia
I think my movies aren't sentimental. I think my movies are funny and sad and realistic. Not realistic in the sense that they're documentaries, but realistic in the sense that they're not idealistic, they're not optimistic, not pessimistic, and not propagandistic. They're an analysis of a situation. I call it as I see it, so to speak. ~ Frederick Wiseman
Sad Song quotes by Frederick Wiseman
I started as a songwriter and wanted to be like Leonard Cohen. I've always seen my stories as enlarged songs. ~ Kazuo Ishiguro
Sad Song quotes by Kazuo Ishiguro
Sean Taylor is a wonderfully talented modern troubadour whose sincere, thoughtful songs pull you in. I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with him. He swings. Check him out! ~ Eric Bibb
Sad Song quotes by Eric Bibb
did everything feel beautiful when you let go of the idea of being anything at all? ~ Mitch Welling
Sad Song quotes by Mitch Welling
If we're bringing up kids that are so stupid that they kill themselves because of a song, what good are the kids in the first place ? ~ Marilyn Manson
Sad Song quotes by Marilyn Manson
The voice of every kid hooked on drugs, alcohol or the occult joins the sad chorus Not me! I didn't think it could ever happen to me. I was sure I could handle it. ~ Beatrice Sparks
Sad Song quotes by Beatrice Sparks
Sometimes it's just lying in bed and staring at the ceiling listening to the same song over and over again as it slowly loses its meaning. Sometimes it's how people go mad because they couldn't tame the darkness that was growing within them over time. Some days it's a girl waking up without her soul. Some nights it's a boy falling asleep with his spirit crushed. Sometimes it's someone wanting to lose themselves to a person, but instead, they push that person away.

Solitude only becomes a prison when you do not love yourself. And even if you do love yourself it's still a very dangerous thing, and the very benefits of it are the stars shining in its purest darkness.

Solitude isn't always pretty but also are the truths that we find within ourselves when we learn to find solace in it. ~ Juansen Dizon
Sad Song quotes by Juansen Dizon
A society which discards those who are weak and non-productive risks exaggerating the development of reason, organisation, aggression and the desire to dominate. It becomes a society without a heart, without kindness - a rational and sad society, lacking celebration, divided within itself and given to competition, rivalry and, finally, violence. ~ Jean Vanier
Sad Song quotes by Jean Vanier
