November 7, 20187 yr probably not on anyone's radar but this Magnetic Fields song is pretty fucking sad. when you're old and lonely you will wish you'd married me I could build a fire for you and bring you cakes and tea when you're cold and hungry I'll be waiting by the phone you can call me up and tell me how you're all alone all alone when you're old and lonely and the rush of life is past days go by too slowly and the years go by too fast when your golden loneliness is heavier than stone you can call me up and say: "my god, I'm all alone all alone..."
November 7, 20187 yr uno mas.. Bright Eyes - Lua I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walkI keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights offBut Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loftSupplies are endless in the evening; by the morning they'll be goneWhen everything is lonely I can be my own best friendI get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversationsWith the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflectionThe mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shitAnd I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kissSo many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift itBut me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to splitThe love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't existYou're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted blackYou just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right backWell, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it badBut what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a dragI've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the trainIf you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the sameWe might die from medication, but we sure killed all the painBut what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insaneAnd I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of thisThe reasons all have run away but the feeling never didIt's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to liveBecause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never isWhat's so simple in the moonlight, now is so complicated What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight

That's a good one. Thematically reminds me of these: "We lost Davy in the Korean War Still don't know what for It don't matter anymore..." Damn John Prine is depressing. And so good.

November 10, 20187 yr You know, just the contribution from someone who has had to deal with a divorce, estranged dad nearly dying and such plus a bunch of the previous songs.
November 14, 20187 yr My wife and I separated 2 months ago so I've been listening to some sad music. Because I'm sad. The whole "Strange Trails" album by Lord Huron is hauntingly beautiful and melancholy so it has been the soundtrack of the separation for me. This song, in particular, has resonated with me.

The whole "Strange Trails" album by Lord Huron is hauntingly beautiful and melancholy so it has been the soundtrack of the separation for me. This song, in particular, has resonated with me. Last concert my ex and I went to was lord Huron. Strange trails is a bad ass album but I can’t listen to it much anymore. Bleachers has some sad sack lyrics but arranged anthem style. I love them. They helped me get from sad to better but not okay this last year. Now I’m like gangsta rap DGAF so it’s all good.
January 14, 20196 yr I bought the first Angels & Airwaves album before I deployed to Iraq in 2006. I went through some really dark shit while I was there and every time I hear any song from that album I go back to it. I know I'm not still there and I'm not reliving it or having flashbacks. Just going over everything in my head. I used to try to avoid listening to it because I didn't want to do that. I've been doing EMDR therapy and trying to work through my shit so I've been pushing myself into a lot of areas internally that I've avoided.
January 14, 20196 yr Finger on the trigger by Bleu Edmenson.-2018 Kicked my ass with divorce, mother passing and my job being outsourced. Thankfully, it never reached this point, but damn.. oh lord please forgive me for what I'm about to doI'm running on empty and my options are fewYou know that I did the best that I canBut I've done hit rock bottom my time is at hand Because I lost my jobMy bills are getting biggerCryin' baby bout to lose my mindHundred dollar habit I ain't got a pennyMy woman ran off with a friend of mineI can't keep a job cause I'm too **** up Dhs bout to take my kidsTryin' to get well keep getting sickerSittin' in the parking lot my finger on the trigger You know I never meant to hurt anyoneAnd I'll face the consequences for everything I've doneAnd lord sometimes I wonder if your even there'Cause my burden is back-breaking and it's all that I can bear Because I lost my jobMy bills are getting biggerCryin' baby bout to lose my mindHundred dollar habit I ain't got a penny My woman ran off with a friend of mine I can't keep a job cause I'm too **** upDhs bout to take my kidsTryin' to get well keep getting sickerSittin' in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
January 17, 20196 yr siap You make me weep and wanna die Just when you said we'd try Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other When I'm alone all by myself You're out with someone else Lovin', touchin', squeezin' each other You're tearin' me apart Every, every day You're tearin' me apart Oh what can I say? You're tearin' me apart It won't be long, yes, till you're alone When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home Cause he's lovin', who he's touchin', He's squeezin' another He's tearin' you apart Every, every day He's tearin' you apart Oh girl what can you say? Cause he's lovin', touchin' another Now it's your turn girl to cry Na na na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na na na

June 11, 20214 yr Slaid Cleaves It's New Years DayJust like the day beforeSame old skies of greySame empty bottles on the floorAnother year gone byAnd I'm thinking once againHow can I take this losing handAnd somehow win Just give me one good yearTo get my feet back on the groundI've been chasing graceBut grace ain't so easily foundOne bad hand can devil a manChase him and carry him downI gotta get out of hereJust give me one good year I'm burning oilEngine's running roughI drive from job to jobBut it's never enoughI can't find the willTo just up and get awaySome kind of chains holding me downTo make me stay Just give me one good year It's a bitter windIn your face every dayIt's the little sinsThat wear your soul awayWhen you start giving inWhere do the promises all goWill your darkest hourWrite a blank check on your soul? Just give me one good yearTo get my feet back on the groundI've been chasing graceBut grace ain't so easily foundOne bad hand can devil a manA good one can turn him aroundI gotta get out of hereJust give me one good year
