That said, I'm not sure that late-period Talk Talk gets enough credit for how soul-baringly sad and lonesome it is. There's one track on this playlist but you could just explore entire albums such as "Spirit of Eden" and its best track, I Believe In You: https://open.spotify.com/track/3SzoVeS9Eaxt6dmfXF0fPo?si=ec55366c61164a52
The whole thing is a blue-hued tone poem.

Whenever Iโve needed to just cry it out I listen to True Love Waits by Radiohead on repeat.
Rain in Numbers by Beach House is also similar in how slow, sad, and beautiful it sounds.

Absolutely heartbreaking and devastating, but one of the best albums Iโve listened to in recent times
I love the mellow guitar vibes and the vocals are just perfect in every way to encapsulate the nostalgia and melancholy of the themes the album talks about
Just listen to it, trust me

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnโt violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canโt wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! โค๏ธ
