My sadlings, you have returned for more Sad People Music!
This time of year is filled with complicated emotions and lots of memories. When everyone is pushing the “holiday cheer,” sometimes you just want permission to be a downer. Sad music helps us know we’re not alone. Luckily for you, I have even more sad songs to add to the playlist you put on repeat when you’re all in your feelings.
Starting off strong with a song by The Smiths, who are considered by some as godfathers of emo. Is there anything more relatable than feeling like nothing ever works out for you?
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want – The Smiths
We’ve all experienced the ups and downs of love and heartbreak.
When you’ve lost someone and you keep reliving all the mistakes that led you there.
Trying to be casual about a relationship that is anything but.
When the mistakes and heartaches keep piling up.
Every single thing reminds you of someone who isn’t there anymore.
Chewing Cotton Wool – The Japanese House
Communication broke down and nothing got worked out.
We’re all weepy, unhappy lumps sometimes. You have my permission to be Scrooge. So gather your tunes, burrow down in that hoodie, trace broken hearts in the frosty window panes and feel those feelings.
