I've been busy getting ready for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge starting Sunday so I was totally not planning on participating in any more blogfests until I stumbled across a post on Empty White Pages referring me to Spunk on a Stick's Sad Songs Blogfest where participating bloggers post their favorite sad songs. I confess, I like sad songs. For me, a true sad song isn't always about shouting out how miserable one is but it's a quiet recognition of suffering or loss.
L. Diane Wolfe of Spunk on a Stick says: List the songs that move your spirit, cut deep into your soul, and threaten to break your heart. Some of the songs I'm sharing here are old school- I was more emo when I was younger. Get your hankies ready.
Song: Rue's Farewell, Composer: James Newton Howard
This was the song played when Rue died in The Hunger Games movie.

Song: I'm in Here by Sia
For anyone who has ever felt like they were locked inside their darkness...
Song: I'm Not That Girl from Wicked by Idina Menzel
The beauty of this song is that the unloved witch Elphaba is that girl.
Song: Lately by Jodeci
Truly an oldie, but still a goodie.

Love Silent Lucidity. Beautiful song in concert.

Thanks for all the comments on my song list, everyone! I am still trying to make my way through as many lists as I can.
