Wanda Robinson The Final Hour and The Meeting Place and really just about anything she sang. A very depressing artist in many respects..

Stevie Wonder Village Ghetto Land

Bill Withers I can't write left-handed

Jimi Hendrix Machine Gun

WAR Four Cornered Room and The World is a ghetto

James Carr
At the dark end of the street

Elmore James Bleeding Heart

Blind Willie Johnson Motherless children have a hard time

John Lee Hooker It serves me right to suffer

also done by Percy Mayfield as Memory Pain

Aretha Franklin "It ain't fair"
Wendy Rene "After Laughter comes tears"

Yes, I also find that a lot of sad songs are also beautiful.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
