It’s like Dolly always says: “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain”

If you’re feeling particularly fed up today, don’t worry. You won’t be alone in feeling blue. We all have off days; those when it feels like a little black cloud is following us everywhere we go, making everything gloomy and miserable.
Life isn’t always blue skies and puppy dogs, and sometimes it’s a whole lot of hard work just getting through the day. But if we were happy all the time we wouldn’t need sad songs, and sad songs are some of the greatest songs in the whole world - especially in country.
Sometimes the best thing to do is wallow in all that misery and make a day of it; sit under that rain cloud and just enjoy getting absolutely soaked. It’s like Dolly always says: “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain”.
So sit back and indulge in the tearjerking tones of Holler’s Best Sad Country Songs playlist. Let Willie and Dolly take it from here. We can all try again tomorrow.
