You made bunny cry. Aren't you ashamed?
Most of the sadness captured here is relationship-inspired. Each track features an especially tear duct-draining quote. I tried to mix well-known sad bastards with a few surprises, and to play with tempo and tone a bit. Enjoy, you sad, hopeless cases.

| 1 | The Mountain Goats : No Children |

One-mood mixes tend to have pacing problems. I start with an aggressive, but still very sad, track: "In my life, I hope I lie / and tell everyone you were a good wife / And I hope you die / I hope we both die" SHOW MORE

| 5 | Neutral Milk Hotel : Oh Comely |

| 6 | The Smiths : I Know It's Over |

| 10 | Hem : Leave Me Here |

HEM is sweetly sad, which is genre all its own: "I could tell by his face—those two tired eyes / it’s been a long night searching for grace, and the sun won’t rise."

| 13 | Sufjan Stevens : Romulus |
|
Sufjan has many sad songs, but this one goes straight for the jugular. If any song would make me cry, this would be the one. It's a four-minute short story. "We saw her once last fall / Our grandpa died in a hospital gown / She didn't seem to care / She smoked in her room and colored her hair / And I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her."

| 15 | Nina Simone : Don't Smoke in Bed |
|
I was surprised at how slight and simple the lyrics are, because this song hits me with the force of a novel: "With these few goodbye words / how can I sing / Goodbye old sleepy head / I'm packing you in like I said."

The Level 10 Badge
Well I hope that someday soon
We'll find peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And draw the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
That isn't all I see ++

When the picture is downsized (like on the Mixtape Central page) that bunny does NOT look like a bunny.
