My cousin Daren passed away last week after a short and difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. He was only 46 years old, and he was a beautiful human being. Everyone who knew him loved him. And, apropos to this website, he LOVED listening to music. I don’t know if he knew these songs, but I suspect he would like them, maybe even a lot. Daren, I love and miss you!

In my own weird way, these sad songs have a way of bringing me up a little bit, even especially when I’m feeling sad. Sometimes, it’s good to feel sad, and sometimes, it’s even better to have some sad music prop up the sad feelings.
So, here it is. A second song of the week in a single week! Two days in a row! My site, my rules. Suck it up, buttercup!
