I know there were already questions like this, but the answers were mostly giving evanescence, pop or metal songs.
I'll be specific for the kind of songs that I like.
something in the style of:
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Wonderwall - Oasis
74' 75' - The Connells
so, I mean, quality sad-feeling rock songs.
no nickleback, MCR, FOB and such please.
Thank you!!

Hahaha@ Mommy to be's answer. Really made me giggle. Well as I kept thinking about your question, I had to try it out. I put three happy songs on LOL And well, didn't make me sad. BUT that is because (and I guess) I haven't had any sad memories towards the songs. If I put a happy song that brings any kind of memories, then yeah, I'll most likely become gloomy for like five minutes. Just because I know those times won't come back. But we will always have space to make new ones.
