What makes sad music sad?by Moira Farr

From the May 2008 issue of The Walrus
As for me, I’m not going out of my way to see Guy Maddin’s film The Saddest Music in the World, but Garnet Rogers, Rufus Wainwright, and a host of other favourites are once again welcome on my iPod. I’m grateful to have that restored as a listener — the strange human capacity to enjoy feeling sad.
