Posting sad songs daily. I love music that makes me feel something. I hope you enjoy
Boston by Augstana. Love this SSOTD. "You don't know me, and you don't even care, Oh-yeah, and you said." Basically, about leaving behind a broken relationship and starting over. "I think I'll go to Boston, I think I'll start a new life." #musicsky #nowplaying #Boston

Is There Something in the Movies by Samia. Good and sad. "I only write songs about things that I'm scared of, so here, now you're deathless in art." Samia said it is about betrayal by someone honoring fantasy over her love. Also, about dying young. #musicsky #nowplaying

Like The Weather by 10,000 Maniacs. I heard this at a coffee shop today and it took me right back. "For it's such a long time since my better days. I say my prayers nightly, this will pass away." About feeling down and staying in bed on a cold a rainy day. #mylife #musicsky

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Nina Simone. Deep song by a great singer. "I never mean to take it out on you. Life has its problems, and I get more than my share." Written based on a songwriters fight with his wife. Fitting as Nina had bipolar disorder #musicsky #nowplaying

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. Really sad SSOTD. "Winding your way down on Baker Street. Light in your head and dead on your feet. Well, another crazy day, you'll drink the night away." About addiction, failure and life in london. #musicsky #Nowplaying

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel. Classic SSOTD. "When you're weary, feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I'm on your side.'" Written to Simon's wife. Overall, I will lay me down! #musicsky #Nowplaying

Far Behind by Candlebox. A good friday SSOTD. Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad, but I did it anyway." Written as a tribute to late singer Andy Wood who died of a heroin overdose. About mistakes, regret and loss.. #musicsky #nowplaying #90's

Letter to Hermione by David Bowie. Really sad Bowie Song. "I care for no one else but you. I tear my soul to cease the pain. I think maybe you feel the same. What can we do?" A literal letter he wrote after Hermione Farthingale broke up with him. #musicsky #nowplaying

Touch by Sleeping at Last. Listen to the SSOTD! Like a poem. "Pain is a well-intentioned weatherman predicting God as best he can. But God, I wanna feel again." Too much! About numbness, emotional detachment, and wanting connection. Great band and song. #musicsky #nowplaying

I Know by Fiona Apple. Great song and amazing artist. "And you can use my skin. To bury secrets in." and "I will ask no questions. While I do my thing in the background." About being in a relationship with someone who is committed. Heartbreaker #musicsky #nowplaying #Iknow

Black by Pearl Jam. One of the Classic SSOTD for a cold Friday. Devastating lyrics. "Now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything." About lost love. "all five horizons revolved around her soul." I mean really! #musicsky #nowplaying #pearljam

Without Me by Halsey. I always liked Halsey, this is a good angry SSOTD. "Put you right back on your feet, just so you could take advantage of me." Rumored to be about an ex-boyfriend. Ultimately, about building someone up only to be betrayed. #musicsky #nowplaying #Halsey

I Can't Make you Love Me covered by Bon Ivor. Bonnie Raitt also has a great cover. "Just hold me close and don't patronize." It doesn't get any more powerful than those lyrics. Just give me until morning to do what's right and give up this fight. #musicsky #nowplaying

Funeral by Phoebe Bridgers. This song is really sad and I can't stop listening to it. "Jesus Christ, I'm so blue all the time and that's just how I feel. Always have and I always will." About the heroin overdose of a close friend and so much more. #musicsky #nowplaying

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor. Classic and good Friday SSOTD. "With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go, whoa." Written on a road trip to see his new nephew. He wrote it for him. Sad lullaby. #musicsky #nowplaying #sweetbabyjames

Innocence and sadness by Dermot Kennedy. Powerful SSOTD!
"Darlin', don't spend another second wonderin' what you're worth, don't you ever get affected by the ways of this world." Those are true words! A song done in one take about love, loss and moments. #musicsky #nowplaying

Riptide by Vance Joy. Kinda fun, kinda sad song. "And I got a lump in my throat 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong." Basically, about chasing a girl he likes and the ups and downs. #musicsky #nowplaying #riptide
