I will be checking those out and adding songs when I update the hub. Hi Aaron Chapman, thank you for the song suggestions!

Nalini Marquez (author) on April 07, 2016: I know they are a lot but every single one of them is stellar. But, for me, "Hometown Glory" is her most melancholic.Ģ4)Sinead O'Connor~Nothing compares to you So, for anyone who thinks that there is no power in sadness, look (listen) no further than Adele. Adele has done quite well for herself by tapping into the power of melancholy. (And rise up from the ground and overcome what hurts us after that.) Below are detailed descriptions and videos for each of the songs mentioned above. "A Candle in the Wind: A Princess Diana Tribute"Īlthough we humans possess an amazing ability to rise up from the ground and overcome what hurts us, there are times when we just have to take the time to be sad.
