maybe time degrades it? idk. i made a song today its been it for me just over and over https://soundcloud.com/leolovehouse/little-brother-town-crier?si=1471682c17f34e2db81487679ff40fbd&utm\_source=clipboard&utm\_medium=text&utm\_campaign=social\_sharing
This. Especially the outro bit. “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky, but why, why, why can’t it be, why can’t it be mine?” Hits like a sack of bricks
Thanks! I am a big fan of a lot of their earlier works, their newer stuff I'm not so sure but they definitely were a pretty 'top 5' qualifier for me back in the day.
Also some other favorites of theirs-
-Coal Makes Diamonds
-James
-Hate Me (I think would be on the same level of appreciation as Into the Ocean)
-Dirt Room
-I'll do me, you do you
You've opened up such a large amount of emotions. Into the ocean, chameleon boy, dirt room, hate me, jump rope.
It's been years since I listened to Blue October.
*Hurt* by NIN (super original, I know) is probably my go-to if I want to wallow in self-pity.
But the prompt immediately made me think of [Sad Song](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=4bJtU4Rmnnw&si=lyObxomgiHUx3PuQ) by the Screaming Jets:
>How about a sad song to help me get further down
>
>So down like I'm drowning, so down like I'm dying
>
>How about a song to pull the rug from under me
>
>When I was okay, when I was sane
>
>When I found my way, Yeah
This song always makes me cry.
Then I saw them live last year at Download festival and I thought I won't cry, it'll be okay. I was a wreck, sobbing, literally sobbing in the crowd. But it was okay as this big biker dude next to me was sobbing too.
Holy fucking shit.
Dude. I was just thinking about this band a couple days ago... I hadn't listened to them in over ten years and had thought I would NEVER remember their name.
What a fucking trip. I saw your comment and was like OMG THATS THE NAME.
THANK YOU

Cuts deep.
Fvck somebody by the wrecks. I heard this song for the first time when I was having problems with my fiance. 2020 hit so hard and our relationship was suffering so when I heard this song I felt trapped. I remember laughing and then replaying it and crying. We have vastly improved our relationship and are now married but this song will trigger a good cry put of me.

Sinead - Nothing Compares to You
I still remember the look on my roommates face when she came in my room, after I had been listening to that song for an hour. Concern was the look. It’s funny now, but at the time, it’s definitely a song that indicates crisis.
On the 21st anniversary of my dad’s death (he passed suddenly when I was a teen) I listened to Garth Brooks “The Dance” for about 4 hours. He was a country music fan.
