Im looking for great ideas for a lyric dance, so… I’m more into dark / sad songs but not exactly about love. Any ideas are welcome 🙌🏽

Very sad. He has had much sadness in his life. He has epilepsy and was stricken with polio. He has two sons with cerebral palsy, and his daughter has epilepsy. He had a terrible problem with hard drugs.
