Sometimes dancing is for RAGING and GETTING DOWN, but sometimes you just wanna drift from side to side and stew in loneliness and longing. Here are eight songs for your own personal sad ’n’ spooky school dance, though if you wish to create a narrative regarding ghosts that haunt a school gym, I think that’d totally fit, too.
