Songs about loneliness and longing - from Purcell's When I am Laid in Earth to Al Green's Tired of Being Alone - are so ubiquitous and popular that they must answer some need we have to acknowledge and understand unhappiness. Inspired by Rear Window, Anton Chekhov and Katherine Mansfield, We Will Hear The Angels explores melancholia and the strange power of sad music to uplift us.
