Songs that make being a loser seem ok

There are loads of them sublimating gentle failures all over the shop. It's sweet really.

Examples:

Loser by Beck, obviously. He even says the word and says it again in Spanish just so everyone knows, but your man is very unbothered and therefore cool.

Mr Rock & Roll by Amy McDonald, it's going to end happily but right now he's got no mates and no money ("dancing on his own again, talking on his phone again to someone who tells him that his balance is low"). He gets a song written about him tho.

Everything but the girl, missing. Stalking your ex's ex house is not an activity undertaken by people whose lives are ok.

Hanging on the telephone, blondie. Much the same vibe but really angry and scary.

Raise your glass by Pink

“ So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks”

"The Rest of Us" by Simple Plan:

Here's to the rest of us
To all the ones that never felt they were good enough.
I wanna hear it for the chased and confused
The freaks and the losers
Let's point them up
Here's to the rest of us

Another part...
I confess, I'm a mess
I'm perfectly dysfunctional
But I don't give a damn
If you feel the same let me hear you sing...

KeepSmiling89 · 24/09/2020 11:19

Oh. From the same song!

Here's to the rest of us
We do it better than the rich and the fabulous!

Here's a link...it's awesome!
