Chris Stapleton Says People Like Sad Songs So They Don’t Feel Alone
People love to listen to sad songs, and Chris Stapleton might’ve cracked the code on why during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.
“People like sad songs so they don’t feel alone. And I think maybe all songs are that way, and then we want to feel those emotions together. There’s a communal thing in that. And I think that is the magic of music . . . it helps us all be connected in ways that maybe even a conversation, or a look, or touch doesn’t provide.”
