The Smiths "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Today"
Why do we love those sad songs so much? What is It with songs that help us wallow in our misery? Those 
post break up anthems, or songs about loss and depression that just seep of sadness yet draw us like a moth to a flame. Why do people love Morrissey and the Smiths' sad songs about been miserable? Because - like hot tea on a hot day that fights fire with fire - so too do sad songs quell the sadness in our collective hearts. Some say that we like sad songs of others' tales of despair because we can indulge in their suffering from a safe distance.

I don't ever want to hear that song again," sang Olivia Newton John on the weepy Bruce Welch & John Rostill penned 1975 international hit - but you know she secretly indulged in hearing B17 again despite the sadness it aroused in her tortured soul.

Turn them on, turn them on. Turn on those sad songs when all hope is gone!" and the song's 
clincher line, "it feels so good to hurt so bad"
