oh la la!

That was basically my reaction when I heard this playlist. I had been looking for not necessarily 'new' songs but for good songs! Good undiscovered songs not heard by me.

I know in some countries tomorrow will be what here in Mexico and USA celebrate as "Valentines Day" to all my single friends over there we like to see it more as "Friendship Day" haha... Anyway, for those of you who are going through some rough times with love and even though you are not celebrating anything tomorrow but just have been feeling kinda down and sad... and wanna cry bla bla bla (I totally understand you!) Here are this 5 amazing songs! That you must hear... and pick your favorite. All courtesy of NPR (thanks froggy!).

And let's get serious people! Valentine's Day it's just a day created mainly by publicity and good marketing. Or do you really need a "special" day to tell the people you love how much you love them? ... You don't!


The Mountain Goats - No Children

"...'No Children' captures the twisted, co-dependent, narcissistic sado-masochism of a relationship perpetuated by its own poisonousness and little else..."

"And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way"

Lisa Germano - Too Much Space

"A song so sad it seems to suck the oxygen out of the room, 'Too Much Space' pulsates with the ache of unwelcome solitude..."
(the song starts at 2:50)

"You never know
You wait too long
You need a fire
It’s all gone wrong
He gave it up he hit the dust

And now your heart is made of rust"

Glen Hansard - Leave

"...a visceral, white-knuckle hellride through the emotionally gory moment when a troubled relationship hits its ugly, implosive breaking point..."

"Leave, leave,
And free yourself at the same time
Leave, leave,
I don't understand, you've already gone"

Jason Molina - Get Out, Get Out

"...Molina writes low-tech, raw-boned odes to suffering that practically bleed self-pity..."

"I lived low enough so the moon wouldn't waste it's light on me
What's left in this life that would do the same for me
Something must have only loved one of us"

The Late Cord - My Most Meaningful Relationships Are With Dead People

"...Amid a moody and molasses-slow arrangements..."

This is just a portion of the song, I just couldn't find the video so that you could hear it. But I would totally recommend to listen to the full song. It's beautiful!

"Is it too far gone,
to be saved?"

So delight yourself with good music...
If you want, you can cry yourself to sleep with these songs... I don't have anything against that...
