Posting sad songs daily. I love music that makes me feel something. I hope you enjoyhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3ml542la6y22aUncle John's Band by Grateful Dead. Not a traditional sad song. "Well, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore 'Cause when life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door." Many interpretations, but mostly music is a haven. #musicsky #nowplaying https://youtu.be/D2zItg1sBJg?list=RDD2zItg1sBJg05 May 2026 21:12 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml542la6y22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3ml2myehzx22wHigh Hope by Glen Hansard. Heartbreaker. "Maybe when our hearts realign. Maybe when we've both had some time. I'm gonna see you there." Hope of a lost relationship being rebuilt is keeping him going. Instead of "waitin' 'round while life just passes by." #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/y2gJ8uNtk4A https://youtu.be/y2gJ8uNtk4A04 May 2026 21:37 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml2myehzx22whttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mkt44iem522fI'm Not Yours by Angus and Julie Stone.

TW sad song but metal... "Emptiness is filling me to the point of agony" About obsession with death, at a time when his gear was stolen and he was thrown out his house.

A tale of two different sides of love. "Sayin', "I don't know when I'll be comin' back again It depends on how I'm a-feelin'" One of the saddest lines ever. One only wants love but the other is out wandering. #musicsky #nowplaying #Dylan youtu.be/iy6wryJMwVU https://youtu.be/iy6wryJMwVU02 Apr 2026 21:02 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mik452bhzs2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mihk77bwj22jIn celebration of 10,000 followers, here are my top five SSOTD's. 1.

Sad storytelling. "But here's to hopin' she'll still come. I'm too old to be this dumb." Written like a short story. Empty without her and filling it with drinking. She showed up but oh what a mess they got into. #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/rsIanTh3G0E https://youtu.be/rsIanTh3G0E27 Mar 2026 21:12 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mi2zuo6ksk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mhyixkb3mk2lHelpless by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Neil Young's childhood; about polio, divorce, and longing. #musicsky #nowplaying #CSNY https://youtu.be/G7CHSv8c77w?si=GnXHGXMaO3X_p37926 Mar 2026 21:04 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhyixkb3mk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mhvyaqh7d22n500 miles by Hedy West covered by Joan Baez. This is really a classic SSOTD, goes way back in folk music. "Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name. Lord I can't go on this a-way." Traveling, too poor to go home but homesick. Great version. #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/B_K6z3HiRAs https://youtu.be/B_K6z3HiRAs25 Mar 2026 21:00 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhvyaqh7d22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mhthq52qo22eBlues Runs the Game by Jackson C. Frank covered (Laura Marling). Tragic song and life. "Maybe tomorrow, honey, someplace down the line. 'll wake up older So much older, mama. I'll wake up older and I'll just stop all my tryin'". Mental illness and tragedy. #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/ZpDsPb9aZFs https://youtu.be/ZpDsPb9aZFs24 Mar 2026 20:59 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhthq52qo22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mhqx4bmkas2zThe Funeral by Band of Horses. Great SSOTD and live version! "To the outside, the dead leaves they own the lawn; 'Fore they died and had trees to hang there upon." Written about his aversion to forced togetherness and mortality. Coming up only! #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/N_Xz6Aq5lwk https://youtu.be/N_Xz6Aq5lwk23 Mar 2026 20:56 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhqx4bmkas2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mhjeuv6pa22dCharlene by Anthony Hamilton. One of my favorites! "Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote. She said she's tired that I'm always on the road." Overall, it is his fault for putting music over her, but she should come back. #musicsky #nowplaying #Charlene youtu.be/QUmxh7H8vok https://youtu.be/QUmxh7H8vok20 Mar 2026 20:41 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhjeuv6pa22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mheopw7cws2zUsing Again by Tod Benjamin. Hard hitting SSOTD. "The cost of my living was more than I planned so I held a needle like a gun in my hand." About his struggle with addiction.

Love this SSOTD. "People staring. They know you've been broken. Repeatedly reminded. By the looks on their faces." The song is about comforting someone who is struggling but also about his own struggle with mental illness. #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/4nC8WjPFnGU https://youtu.be/4nC8WjPFnGU17 Mar 2026 20:40 +0000at://did:plc:jcxt3ldnycj3o227shjgk4bx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhbtgn3a522qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ssotd.bsky.social/post/3mh7euohh7s2sSee You Later, I'm Gone by Robert Lester Folsom.
