Pitseleh by the late great Elliot Smith covered by Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield. This is a version you should check out! "I'm not half what I wish I was, i'm so angry." Pitseleh is a yiddish term of endearment (little one). About love and addiction. #musicsky #nowplaying

Stop Your Tears by Aldous Harding. A monster of a sad song. The first lyrics "I will never marry my love. I will die waiting for the bells. Death, come pull me underwater. I have nothing left to fear from hell." I mean, really! About all things. #musicsky #nowplaying

One More Try by George Michael. Classic sad song. "I'm so cold inside. I'm just not willing to try." He wrote it about leaving a bad relationship and being scared to enter a new one. At the end he decides "I said maybe just one more try." #musicsky #nowplaying

I've Got Dreams to Remember by Otis Redding. An Otis heartbreaker. "These eyes of mine, they don't fool me. Why did he hold you so tenderly?" One of the great voices of all time. Died to soon (at 26). Broken hearted music #musicsky #nowplaying #Otis

Gasoline by Houndsmouth. One of the best sad songs! "It was only just then that I could see I was alone in feeling so lonely." Deep song about someone who can't connect and is self-destructive. Poor boy, cause when the morning comes she will be gone! #musicsky #nowplaying

The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us! by Sufjan Stevens. Magical/sad "I can't explain the state that I'm in. The state of my heart, he was my best friend." Complicated song about sexual and spiritual awakening (and camp). #musicsky #nowplaying #sufjanstevens

I'd Have to Think About It by Leith Ross. Sad on multiple levels. "And honest, I can tell you now I love you more than my future spousะต." I think everyone has felt a love so deep you think you will never get over it. This is that put to a beautiful song. #musicsky #nowplaying

Dog Days Are Over by Florence + Machine. An bittersweet anthem. "And I never wanted anything from you except everything you had." Basically about chasing happiness, you better run! Maybe the dog days are over? Anyway, this is great live! #musicsky #nowplaying #likeatrain

Never Had No One Ever by The Smiths. Sorry for this pre-valentine's day selection but..."And I know alone that I never, ever oh had no one ever." Alienation and isolation. Sad song about being an outsider. Here is to everyone finding belonging! #musicsky #nowplaying #smiths

Interesting!
Jealous Guy by John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band. I feel this song. "I was feelin' insecure you might not love me anymore. I was shivering inside." The best description of jealousy ever. He wrote it about his all consuming love for yoko. #musicsky #nowplaying #lennon
