You know when you feel a bit meh and just want to listen to sad songs or love ballads? That’s how I’m feeling.
What should I add?

Last night I dreamt somebody lived me by The Smiths. It still instantly takes me back to my teenage wallowing in self pity phase.
And Nature Boy by Nat King Cole.

Sonnet by Verve. Hadn’t heard it in years and it popped up twice in the space of a day. It had me crying in the car. Don’t know why - was very moved by it.

@ElizabethinherGermanGarden such a brilliant song, but I don't see it as a wallowing in self pity song at all. It's my "fuck you horrible XH I'm FINE " song.

Lots of great suggestions. Leaving me know by Level 42. Came on the radio last week & stopped me in my tracks, made me realise that most of my musical taste could be put in the 'ok I'll just get my coat' category 😕
