Song challenge day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad
“Peek A Boo” by Daniel Johnston
When I was younger, I used music to feel like someone else was empathetic to my sadness. I would pick a song that suited my specific sadness and listen to it a whole bunch. Now I know people who I can talk to when I’m sad, so I don’t have to rely on music in that regard as much. Here’s one that brought back that old feeling for me recently, of someone really understanding sadness and pain.
I’m just saying how I feel.
Maybe you could try to understand.
I’m a man who needs you.
When I’m down, really down
Nothin’ matters. Nothin’ does.
I close my eyes to go to sleep,
But I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep.
You can listen to these songs,
Have a good time and walk away.
But for me it’s not that easy.
I have to live these songs forever.
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself.
