If you find you're always writing sad songs it could be for a number of reasons - and of course, all of this is JMO. There's lots of bad news out there - disease, war and that whole Jon & Kate Gosslin thing can really bring a person down. Sad love songs, I think, come easy to even the most inexperienced writer and happy love songs are easiest to write when you're actually in love...and happy. The other thing is, maybe you're a person who is prone to depression or who, without even knowing it, you could be writing sad songs as a way of cleansing yourself; getting rid of it. Writing sad songs could be therapeutic for you, therefore, you write sad songs to feel better. Getting out of the sad-song rut? Well, someone mentioned Steve Martin in a previous post, so I will quote him: "Get small" - and learn how to play the banjo. smile
