Knocking on Heavens Door - Bob Dylan
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Crying - Roy Orbison
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Hurt - Johnny Cash
She's Leaving Home - The Beatles
Dance with My Father - Luther Vandross
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
Send in the Clowns - Judy Collins

Without the sad stuff, we'd never appreciate the good stuff. It's always about something that we don't have, and have to work to achieve. Sad songs can be the stuff that fuel our dreams to become reality.
