sad songs that make us happy

bon iver:  for emma, forever ago.  the current soundtrack to our joy & sorrow.  thanks for the recommendation, zack.

: bon iver/good winter = justin vernon :  


"i think there is joy in a sad song:  the alleviation.  the pain being instantaneously discovered, and pushed out."  -- lost at e minor interview.

recorded in a midwest cabin in winter, in solitude, in falsetto.  we can relate.

I am glad it is beautiful to you!

After the recommendation, I listened again and felt weird about... But for me there are parts of those songs that though I can't understand the words, the feeling hit a deep soul spot. The joy/sorrow merge.

Love to you friends.
