Misery loves company

Back in May I was worried about my health. A mysterious lump that has proved , after much testing and anxiety, to be nothing. Present, but benign. It was a black couple of months. In may I thought it would be fun to collect gloomy songs. Since my first wife's death I have toyed with the idea of a compilation of funereal music. So I anthologised a few on my Good Grief blog.

Here's one for my father, who passed last year. He always said I was a dreamer. I took it as pejorative until I knew better.
