Don't Try To Fix Me; I'm Not Broken

Since no one gave a shit about my enquiry earlier today I decided to round up some really, really good and sad songs that I've been listening to today. Since this is not a blog-blog I won't get more personal that this - ever.

Jens Lekman - How Much You Mean To Me
Some people may argue that "Do Impossible Things" is a bigger tearjerker but I disagree. I think this is the one song that defines the pain of losing your love the very best. It somehow feels as if this song was not written, but rather that it was sung in a weak moment, only to be slightly edited afterwards. Absolutely beautiful.

The Motorhomes - Into The Night
With the video it's sadness incarnated. Without it, it's still a harmonic and frail song that always pops into my playlist when I feel like snot.

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
I have recently become more and more liking of Johnny Cash's version, but to me it's Trent Reznors broken voice that does this song the most justice still. No further comment is needed, I believe.

Katatonia - Saw You Drown
This song is one of those songs that, when listened to in the exact right moment, becomes more than a song. It becomes the very veil that clothes your emotions. I always feel like this song surrounds my sadness, saturating it, but at the same time comforting. That sounds so pretentious, but I'm down and I blog - so sue me.

Nobuo Uematsu - Anxious Heart
Might be the single best piece of music lifted from a game ever. To me it's no question about it. It's nothing epic or grand, but it's a small, soft piece. The feeling of melancholy and despair is unlike anything on any of Uematsu's other works, and it's so bloody perfect.

Evanescence - Hello
As most people know; Evanescence is at their greatest when they tone down and let Amy alone with a piano and her voice alone. This particular ballad is my favorite, and also the one where she seems the most open. She sings with a frail but fantastic voice about when she lost her little sister at a young age and every word seems to be sung with an almost eerie openness. Stunningly good, indeed.
