Literally anything by Alice Boman 😒

For a while it was "I really want to stay at your house" the ending to edgerunners makes that song so depressing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I hate that I know what you're talking about :(

God that show fucks you up emotionally

I had that in my Spotify discover weekly today and holy shit

A lot of Anathema and Opeth songs remind me of my ex.

Pretty much all of the "Jets to Brazil" albums.

The lyrics are just. Too. Good.

Not really, but there's a few I can't listen to when I drive because I know I'm going to cry, and that ain't safe

Travelin soldier, the Dixie chicks version is a big one.

Then there's still my hero, by jellyroll. I'm dealing with some of that stuff now, and it's fucking brutal.

There's others, because I'm a sappy old bastard, but I don't reckon you want a big list

Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine

And there's also Tonight Alive's Amelia that I couldn't finish listening to even once because it was too heartbreaking

Roy Orbison songs. I'm still pretty sad about his death.

If We Were Vampires by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Not sure if we’re doing content warnings? But it’s about death and the inevitability of losing someone you love dearly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Man, I love that song.

Isbell is a jerk, but he's a fucking poet for sure

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Beautiful, thanks!

Bones in the Ocean hurts me in ways that it has no business doing so.

I've never suffered a loss of any great magnitude. I've never even been to sea, though I desperately wish I had been.

outer wilds OST

There is that highly suspect song I loved but then I watched the music video and now I get anxiety when I hear it.

Now playing Highly Suspect - Lydia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Freak Kitchen - Breathe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Phil Ochs - When I'm gone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Every once in a while I try to play Dear McCracken and sing through the last part. The way I start ugly crying means I can't put it on a playlist where I'll actually pay attention to the song.

On The Nature Of Daylight - Max Richter

It's a beautiful piece of music but it's been used as the background for so many sad movie sequences it tends to just make me sad. It's been used in Arrival and Shutter Island to name a few. I actually can't listen to it when I use psychedelics bc it turns my mood melancholy af.

Green light rod wave, basically any or most of rod wave.

Since learning the reason the song was written and the meaning behind it, Gotye - Bronte makes me sob like a baby

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Sekilos Epitaph. I listened to it a lot when my loved one died.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

This song always does it for me, even after a decade and some years.

Her Space Holiday - Sleepy California

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

You have to be in the right headspace for Iron & Wine's "Each Coming Night"
