Happy Monday, folks. I’ve been a bit down the past few days, which may or may not have affected my choice in music. Let’s take a look at the playlist and see.

1. Glen Campbell, “Wichita Lineman”: Heard this song last night and it made me cry.
2. Counting Crows, “Holiday in Spain”: The saddest song about being on holiday in Spain I’ve ever heard. I would assume being on holiday in Spain is a joyous occasion, not one so somber.
3. Genesis, “No Reply At All”: One of the most upbeat songs about getting ghosted I’ve ever heard.
4. case/lang/veirs, “Atomic Number”: How can a song ostensibly about the periodic table feel so sad? There’s just so much longing and loss in this song that I can’t help but love it.
5. The National, “Afraid Of Everyone”: “You’re an oasis, darling, in my soul soul soul soul” on repeat in my brain for the rest of the day.
6. Van Morrison, “Not Supposed To Break Down”: A Van cast off that’s better than most bands’ best song.
7. Spoon, “Everything Hits At Once”: It sure does, It sure does.
8. Hem, “The Part Where You Let Go”: I love this band. They’re one of my go-tos when I’m feeling down. Very cinematic and widescreen in the best possible ways.
9. Wilco, “Handshake Drugs”: Four-chord songs are fun to play sometimes. I love playing this one.
10. The Rolling Stones, “19th Nervous Breakdown”: I dunno if it’s the nineteenth one or not, but I do feel like I narrowly avoided a breakdown last night. Why’s the world so overwhelming right now?
