B-Side: Happy Sounding Sad Songs

Ever heard "Born in the USA", by Bruce Springsteen? "Semi-Charmed Life", by Third Eye Blind? Even nursery rhymes like "You Are My Sunshine" or "Ring Around the Rosie"? This is what this B-Side is all about. The happiest sounding songs, that are deceptively sad, scary, and fearful at times. As we talked about Passion Pit in our A-Side, we saw just how powerful of a tool it is to combine happy chords with sorrowful lyrics.
