I have a confession to make. Nate’s in New York, and I’ve hijacked the blog. While Nate was eating bagels, buying records and clinking glasses with Kiefer Sutherland, I put together a small collection of my favorite kind of songs—depressing ones. Have fun with this installment of All Sadness, All The Time. Next week, KNATE will return with a healthy balance of life-changing tear jerkers (yay) and soulless foot tappers (boo).
All Sadness, All The Time, Vol. 1
1. Yo La Tengo “Tears Are In Your Eyes”
2. Billy Bragg & Wilco “At My Window Sad And Lonely”
3. Josh Rouse “Sad Eyes” free (thanks Nettwerk!)
4. Mugison “Sad As A Truck” free (thanks Mugi!)
5. Jason Collett “Tiny Ocean Of Tears”
6. Shelby Lynne “I Cry Everyday”
7. Beck “Lonesome Tears”
8. Grandaddy “Saddest Vacant Lot In All The World”
9. Jackson Browne “Here Come Those Tears Again”
(and the last one goes out to you, Nate…)
10. Prince “When Doves Cry”
As ever,
Kate

A good list. But every soul-crushing playlist needs The Black Crowes’ “Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye.”

Don McClean’s “Vincent,” I’m almost positive, is solely responsible for Depression epidemic in America.
Mmmm...gotta love that Mugi.
sad songs are my favorite as well. i could pretty much list thousands of my “favorites.”
off the top, tho:
Beck’s “Guess I’m Doing Fine”
Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” and “Buckets of Rain” and “You’re a Big Girl” and ...
Bonnie Prince Billy’s “Wolf Among Wolves”
and let us not forget pretty much all of Coldplay’s “A Rush of Blood...” and “Parachutes”
and iron & wine’s “sodom, south georgia” - gets me every time.
and neil young’s “after the gold rush”
oh god, i can’t stop… must ... stop…
the jimi hendrix experience’s “manic depression;” “voodoo child (slight return)”
modest mouse’s “trailer trash;” “lives”
interpol’s “song seven;” “public pervert”
the stone roses’ “i wanna be adored”
flaming lips’ “all we have is now”
gary jule’s “mad world”
