About Don't Be Sad

"Don't Be Sad" is a song by alt-country band Whiskeytown, from their album, Pneumonia. It was co-written by Ryan Adams, Mike Daly, and James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), and issued as a single to radio in 2001. Ryan Adams says this about the track: "I think there's a duality in that song. I think on one hand, it's saying, 'Hang on, we'll get through this,' but deep down, we know we're not going to get through it at all. I don't know. Damn, that song just kinda says it all, doesn't it?"

Seen a lot of things we didn't want to see
But I'm glad we did
I know a lot of times we fell out of line,
But we fell back in

I think we lost the keys to the kingdom,
Before we'd seen them
Don't be sad
Don't be sad

It took a lot time for us to find the words we'd mean
We spent a lot time before our dimes run out, nickel please
I think we lost the keys to the kingdom,
Before we'd seen them

Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad

'Cause we won't have to live this way forever
It's hard to compromise the things we have
Don't be sad
Don't be sad

Talk to one to have faith
Money can not erase
I think we lost the keys to the kingdom,
Before we'd seen them

Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Talk to one to have faith
Money can not erase
