I'm a fairly happy well adjusted person. I adore sad music. Some of my favorites are Tom Waits and the National. I don't know why but those kinda songs just hit me in the warm fuzzies like no other. Maybe it's just that sadness is the easiest emotion to conjure through song but the sad songs are the ones that make me really feel something. Offhand the only really "happy" music that does the same for me is the Grateful Dead.
