All I’m-Lonely-Come-Back-Now-Please, All The Time

Paste had a party in New York last night (Joseph Arthur, Son Volt and Brandi Carlile played!), so our Decatur, Ga. office feels pretty stranded. I wouldn’t mind the alone time if it weren’t so beautiful outside—there’s plenty to do here, but I can’t stop looking out the skylight and daydreaming about parks and birds and patios and margaritas. And when I take my laptop outside, I can’t really see the screen. Enjoy this list of songs about being lonely. Come back Nate, Jason, Caren, Tim, Jared and Reid!

Woe is me,

Kate
