Cover art for Sad Caper lyrics by Hootie & the Blowfish

I think this song is about people who get caught uo in their own depression. "Sometimes you want to see the rain but the sun gets in your eyes." Basically, it's about drama queens -- male and female. People who thrive on being so, so sad all the time -- and how unhealthy it is to live that way. Hootie's just trying to say, "Hey, man -- whay not be happy? Happy is a lot easier than sad."
