Song Spotify what Mitt Romney say collects about his soul

A man of constant sorrow that roams this world alone, condemned to accomplish his greatest loves only in dreams.

This sound like the description of a man running for President?

More like a tortured artist, right?

Believe it or not, that is the inner life suggested songs that Mitt Romney caressed enough to put on your Spotify playlists.

Yes, it is that we're talking about Mitt Romney 's, better known as a successful business magnate wildly, doting family man, eager public servant and all around a nice guy.

Who knew?

Romney opens his list of 25 song version of The Soggy Bottom Boys ' of the classical song of suffering ' I am a man of Constant Sorrow ". He continued to pepper the list with the cover of Clint Black's ode to a stop Eagles ' "Desperado," lonely by Roy Orbison uber-Moby "Weeps" (along with its classic love song "In Dreams" foiled), rumination on eternal damnation Johnny Cash, "Ring of Fire" and Willie Nelson play the final song of yearning hopeless, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

Together, these selections suggest a boy whose soul may be much deeper and less satisfied with his public persona.

The list includes some other surprises — as some low life choices, including two songs by The Killers ("Read My Mind" and "Somebody Told Me"). It also makes room for Carrie Underwood's song less than male stereotpyically "All American Girl".

Underwood is the only female artist on the list.

There is only one African-American Act included, "The Commodores with" Only You, "Although specific" long version ".

Unlike the iPod play list of Obama, Romney has no hip-hop and decidedly less classic rock — although he did make room for "Good Vibrations", The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli and "December 1963 Oh What A night," the four seasons

Country artists occupy about one third of the list. And there is at least one piece of American rah-rah, Kid Rock's "born free."

But the most telling of all is that Romney's list, which includes many songs of sadness and unfulfillment.

No wonder they say that it is not really a people person.
