Best sad piano songs
The lowest-valence piano songs: wistful, heavy-hearted and unhurried. For rainy windows and long walks home.
How this chart is picked: number one, “Wish You Were Here”, is chosen to set the mood by its title and fits the sound; the other eleven are ranked purely by Spotify-style audio data: low valence (the less happy a song sounds, the higher it ranks) and low energy. Bars show each song’s piano lead and listener pull.
