I'm working on something.

/bricked offstage.

*ahem.*

That said, I want anyone willing to send me links to the saddest songs you know, instrumental or vocal. I need inspiration while I draw.

That's all I'll say. (:

Thanks in advance for any help.

This is one of my absolute favorite songs by Sonata Arctica, and it's really sad. I love singing it for some reason because it's so beautiful.

Dead can Dance - The Host of Seraphim. It actually made me cry once, when I listened to it while being quite depressed. ._.

ohgod, Keepiru- kotowari is

ohgod, Keepiru- kotowari is one of my most favorite songs. It has very special meaning and I tear up without thinking every time I hear of it. I'm glad to know someone else loves it.

Everyone else, thank you SO much. I'll probably end up keeping a lot of these links.. I love new music so much. And for some reason, sad music makes me so much more productive.
