I also believe major chord progressions can be just as sad as minor chord progressions, whether it's Vasily Kalinnikov's Symphony 1 (2.Move) or Hank Williams' 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'.

Having said that, it's still very tempting to say 'E minor' There's only one thing to do in crisis like this - Sleep on it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BBox 2022 Audiophile, Mac Pro Intel, OSX 10.6.8, 800x600 (TV VGA)

Sometimes a sad tune can be murdered if there's no feeling put into it. It's all very well playing the tune perfectly note for note but it HAS to come from the heart.

If there is any validity to it, it would suggest that the key might be less important than the chord patterns used. https://youtu.be/YSKAt3pmYBs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1DK4m2tuiw&t=300s https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

Therein lies the gospel truth, Furry. Having spent the last couple of decades in the recording studio, I've seen them come and go, and there have been some good ones. But every now and then someone comes along with that special feel-good talent, and like you said, it comes from the heart. Kajun Jeaux

Then again there may be a "sad "classical" composer by that name & my ignorance is further exposed.I could assume it's a U.S. vs Australian pronunciation thing like our solder vs US "sodder" but I'm not sure.
