    That new Pharell song. Every time I hear it I want to just die.

    That stupid Happy song? Whenever I hear it I get decidedly un-happy.

    Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth...

    Okay, seriously, "Lightning Crashes." Every time I hear it I want to jab myself with a used needle

    It's ironic you said that song. I don't think about it often, but it breaks my heart. I don't know if any of you are old *kitten* like me, but we had this thing called "Channel One" that came on every morning in high school at the end of first period. I'll never forget, there were announcements one morning in May, and the last announcement was that one of my friends had passed away. She was 18 years old, and dead of a drug overdose. Immediately after that announcement Channel One came on, and Lightning Crashes was playing. I remember sitting in French II crying, thinking what a waste it was that such a beautiful soul was gone so young. Next year, it will be 20 years, and I'm still haunted by her death.

    Whiskey Lullaby... a little cheesy but strikes a personal note with me.

    My first thought as well. But I think a lot of that is just how well done the video was. I have to go one of those from that weird period in the early 70s where they married upbeat melodies with truly depressing lyrics. Seasons in the Sun and Blind Man in the Bleachers are close, but this... Jesus...

    My mom still plays this on vinyl.

    Good grief, that's waaaayyyy worse than Seasons in the Sun! :sad:

    "Alone Again, Naturally" by Gilbert O'Sullivan

    Song about being left at the altar and lonliness


    "In a little while from now
    If I'm not feeling any less sour
    I promised myself to treat myself
    And visit a nearby tower

    And climbing to the top
    Will throw myself off
    In an effort to make it clear to who
    Ever what it's like when you're shattered

    Left standing in the lurch, at a church
    Where people are saying
    My God that's tough, she stood him up
    No point in us remaining

    May as well go home
    As I did on my own
    Alone again, naturally

    To think that only yesterday
    I was cheerful, bright and gay
    Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do
    The role I was about to play

    But as if to knock me down
    Reality came around
    And without so much as a mere touch
    Cut me into little pieces

    Leaving me to doubt
    All about God and His mercy
    For if He really does exist
    Why did He desert me

    In my hour of need?
    I truly am indeed
    Alone again, naturally

    It seems to me that
    There are more hearts
    Broken in the world
    That can't be mended

    Left unattended
    What do we do? What do we do?

    Alone again naturally

    Now looking back over the years
    And what ever else that appears
    I remember I cried when my father died
    Never wishing to hide the tears

    And at sixty five years old
    My mother, God rest her soul
    Couldn't understand, why the only man
    She had ever loved had been taken

    Leaving her to start with a heart
    So badly broken
    Despite encouragement from me
    No words were ever spoken

    And when she passed away
    I cried and cried all day
    Alone again, naturally
    Alone again, naturally"

    Never let me go by Florence and the Machine, this is totally morbid but if I outlive all my friends as a little old lady and I get sick and tired... I'm gonna put on a sparkly evening gown and a waterproof MP3 player (or whatever crazy technology exists then) with this song playing and just swim out into the ocean and never come back.

    Also Just Breath by Pearl Jam so many feels.
