Sad songs... are there sad songs, or is it more about how we feel the moment we hear a certain tune, word, or phrase that reminds us of something?
A song I find sad and is in the first place about a tiny white flower growing in the Alps is "Edelweiss" which is written for the musical "The Sound of Music".

Theodore Bikel, the actor playing Von Trapp, could play guitar and was a folksinger. The musical is about World War II a time that shouldn't be repeated and we should learn from.

Edelweiss is the last song the Von Trapp family sings to distract and escape their country. Some fought others hit the road. It makes one think what is the best but also how bit one's love for a country is and how much we care about those we leave behind. If I think about it always the same question arises: how come people are not able to unite and say: no way I will fight.
If it comes to wars there are no winners except for a handful of businessmen.
