"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),[1] and issued as a single to radio in 2001.
[2] 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.
Damn, that song just kinda says it all, doesn't it?
