    Oooh, my favorite!

    This live version of Skinny Love (3:08...OMG)




    Play Crack The Sky by Brand New (I'm linking this live version because I was AT this show and it changed my life.) (I don't think I'm one of the people in the crowd singing along because I'm pretty sure I was crying.)



    I have some more, but my computer is being slow.

    Oh man!  Favorite topic ever. If you want me to love a singer or band, make me listen to their saddest love song.  Let me check my Spotify "Sad Love Songs" playlist...

    I'm Scared by Duffy

    Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars

    Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt

    Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

    I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James

    Fire Escape by Matthew Mayfield

    Against All Odds by Phil Collins (Love to belt this out while driving)

    Belong by Cary Brothers

    Element by Matthew Mayfield

    @booneybear and I will probably always say Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams.  That song hurts so good.

    I can look for more...

    JenE and I are music twins.  I was going to put all these but figured they were on your Spotify list so I would just be redundant.

    Birdy's cover of "Skinny Love" is far sadder than any version Vernon has done. :'( it's really beautiful.

    Another great one is "Looking Too Closely" by Fink.
