I Know Places by Lykke Li. Heartbreaker of a song! "The high won't fade here, babe. No, the high won't hurt here, babe." Great Swedish singer. "coming home, come unfold, babe." About addiction, love and safety. #musicsky #nowplaying #unfold!

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? (Official Music Video)
How Soon is Now? by the Smiths. Sad all the way through. "You shut your mouth, how can you say, I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved, just like everybody else does." Shy, lonely and desperate for love. Like all of us. #musicsky #nowplaying #smiths

The Five Stairsteps - O-o-h Child (Audio)
O-o-h Child by The Five Stairsteps. Straightforward SSOTD.
"Some day when your head is much lighter." Some great covers of this song. Bittersweet song because things are bad now but someday! Released during the civil rights movement. #musicsky #nowplaying #hope

Mama, You Been on My Mind (Studio Outtake - 1993)
Mama, You Been on My Mind by Bob Dylan covered by Jeff Buckley. Love this SSOTD cover. Oh the lyrics! "perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat and covering the crossroads I'm standing at." Written about a recent breakup, i about yearning and distance. #musicsky #nowplaying

Passenger | Let Her Go (Official Video)
Let Her Go by Passenger. A lot of sad words for a basic sad idea. "'cause love comes slow and it goes so fast." Also, "everything you touch surely dies." A lot of sadness about not realizing what you have until it's gone. #musicsky #nowplaying

PARAMORE - THE ONLY EXCEPTION - ACOUSTIC - 2010
The Only Exception by Paramore (Acoustic). This is a tearjerker. "When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry. He broke his own heart." The song is about losing faith in love until you find someone to love and then they leave. I mean come on! #musicsky #nowplaying #paramore

Keaton Henson - Bygones (Lyrics)
Bygones by Keaton Henson. First, I love anything by Keaton Henson! This is a devastating song. "I am going to live if it kills me." and my favorite line "I got all my baby teeth, all buried underneath my grown ones." Anxiety & failed escape through art. #musicsky #nowplaying #me

The Smiths - Ask (Official Music Video)
Ask by the Smiths. This song has been in my head all week. An upbeat SSOTD, but always makes me a little sad. "writing frightening verse to a buck-tooth girl in Luxembourg." Overall, if it's not love, then it's the bomb that will bring us together. #musicsky #nowplaying #smiths

Big Thief - Randy [Official Audio]
Randy by Big Thief. Love this song! "I haven't left the house much lately and you don't come around here anymore." It is about a person going crazy and needing Randy to make it ok. We all need a Randy, I know I do. #musicsky #nowplaying #lenkler

a-ha - Take On Me [ Live From MTV Unplugged, Giske / 2017 ]
Take On Me by a-ha. The unplugged version is really sad. My favorite line is "It's no better to be safe than sorry. Take on me!" It has one of the hardest to sing choruses and an innovative music video, about a last chance at love. "your shyin' away" #musicsky #nowplaying

Helplessly Hoping (2005 Remaster)
Helplessly Hoping by Crosby, Stills & Nash. Was written about Stephen Stills' struggles after a break-up. Using illiteration and wordplay. "Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit, he runs, wishing he could fly." About lost love and vunerability. #musicsky #nowplaying
