13130828, You are sad AF. you get to play one song to cheer you up...... Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Mar-01-17 04:27 PM
what song you playing?
I want some love life songs.
Suppose you are sad because of heartbreak, would your answer be different?

I love this song because it’s a catch-all. You can apply those words to pretty much anything and musically it peaks in a very powerful way.
It’s as hopeful and empowering a song as any I can think of.
