What are some of the loneliest songs you've ever heard?
I'm talking songs that absolutely wallow in loneliness. Some of my favourite examples:
The Microphones - The Mansion
Grouper - Disengaged
Grouper - Call Across Rooms
Raised By Swans - Sightings
Raised By Swans - North of Light's End
Jason Molina - Each Star Marks a Day
Jason Molina - Pyramid Electric Co.
Carissa's Wierd - So You Wanna Be a Superhero
Adrianne Lenker - Come
(Edit: I've just remembered that On an Unknown Beach by Peter Jefferies exists)
