Face it, sometimes you just need a song to punch you in the gut. Every once in a while, you need a good sad song - and that's how this came about. This is a collection of suggestions of tunes you can use if you ever need to "cry it out" - haha -
Note: A good playlist knows no format. A good song is a good song. Many here are country tunes because lets face it - nobody writes better sad songs than country artists. And that's just a fact. Enjoy -
Feel free to add to the list if you'd like -
