Curs in the Weeds by Horse Feathers. Powerful SSOTD. "With hell on your face. Dirt on the walls. In the back of the place you grew and complained." Lost middle child, alienation, and sadness (Cur in the Weeds). #musicsky #nowplaying #horsefeathers

Chesapeake by Better Oblivion Community Center. Great song and band name! "I was all covered in sound when you asked me to turn it down. Didn't even think it was loud. Can you hear it now?" Those words make me sad. Art is fleeting. #musicsky #nowplaying #phoebe/Conor

The Great Escape by Patrick Watson. Sad banger for a Friday. "Hey child, things are looking down that's OK, you don't need to win anyways. Don't be afraid, just eat up all the gray." Basically, eat up all the gray! #musicsky #nowplaying

Great list!
Bud by Fenne Lily. A gem of a SSOTD and artist. "Holding my tongue, it's real. Tell me the truth, I'll heal. Taking it slow before you go." A song for the unrequited love group. Come join us. #musicsky #nowplaying

I agree
Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Folberberg. Sad story. "And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how." Makes my stomach hurt. "She would've liked to say she loved the man but she didn't like to lie. True story about running into ex-girlfriend. #musicsky #nowplaying

Wild World by Cat Stevens. "Now that I've lost everything to you; you say you wanna start something new and it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'" Seems to be about a breakup but he states it is about his return to music after almost dying. Either way sad. #musicsky #nowplaying

Good ones!!
Cavalier by James Vincent McMorrow. Really great SSOTD. "Speak until the dust settles in the same specific place,
light refused to go." Poetic, nostalgic, deep, and beautiful song. I remember my first love! #musicsky #nowplaying #music

Boots of Spanish Leather by Bob Dylan. A tale of two different sides of love. "Sayin', "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again It depends on how I'm a-feelin'" One of the saddest lines ever. One only wants love but the other is out wandering. #musicsky #nowplaying #Dylan

Awe. So sweet
10am Gare du Nord by Keaton Henson. Very sad! "Please do not hurt me, love, I am a fragile one and you are the light in my eyes. Please do not break my heart I think it's had enough pain to last the rest of my life." Obsessive love-about his breakup. #musicsky #nowplaying
youtu.be/8LluhRTBk9g?...
Baby Britain by Elliot Smith (Seth Avett & Jessica Lee Mayfield). Heartbreaker! "Separated from the rest. Fights problems with bigger problems." About a friend who is struggling with addiction and falling apart. Elliot Smith classic, catchy and sad. #musicsky #nowplaying

Empty As a Drum by Turnpike Troubadours. Sad storytelling. "But here's to hopin' she'll still come. I'm too old to be this dumb." Written like a short story. Empty without her and filling it with drinking. She showed up but oh what a mess they got into. #musicsky #nowplaying
youtu.be/rsIanTh3G0E
Helpless by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. This one sticks in my head. "Babe, can you hear me now? The chains are locked and tied across the door. Baby, sing with me somehow." Neil Young's childhood; about polio, divorce, and longing. #musicsky #nowplaying #CSNY

Awe love it
500 miles by Hedy West covered by Joan Baez. This is really a classic SSOTD, goes way back in folk music. "Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name. Lord I can't go on this a-way." Traveling, too poor to go home but homesick. Great version. #musicsky #nowplaying
youtu.be/B_K6z3HiRAs
Blues Runs the Game by Jackson C. Frank covered (Laura Marling). Tragic song and life. "Maybe tomorrow, honey, someplace down the line. 'll wake up older So much older, mama. I'll wake up older and I'll just stop all my tryin'". Mental illness and tragedy. #musicsky #nowplaying
youtu.be/ZpDsPb9aZFs
The Funeral by Band of Horses. Great SSOTD and live version! "To the outside, the dead leaves they own the lawn; 'Fore they died and had trees to hang there upon." Written about his aversion to forced togetherness and mortality. Coming up only! #musicsky #nowplaying
youtu.be/N_Xz6Aq5lwk
Charlene by Anthony Hamilton. One of my favorites! "Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote. She said she's tired that I'm always on the road." Overall, it is his fault for putting music over her, but she should come back. #musicsky #nowplaying #Charlene

Using Again by Tod Benjamin. Hard hitting SSOTD. "The cost of my living was more than I planned so I held a needle like a gun in my hand." About his struggle with addiction. He no longer plays this song since he got clean. #musicsky #nowplaying #music

Crosses by Jose Gonzalez. Love this SSOTD. "People staring. They know you've been broken. Repeatedly reminded. By the looks on their faces." The song is about comforting someone who is struggling but also about his own struggle with mental illness. #musicsky #nowplaying

See You Later, I'm Gone by Robert Lester Folsom. Chil Monday SSOTD. "Your summer smile has left me sad and though it's here it's not for me." Written when he was a college freshman about drifting apart from his girlfriend. Nostagic,sad and rediscovered . #musicsky #nowplaying
