Prepping for sad winter of self-loathing

[nfgzebrahed]

because it is fun to play poor me and im alone for the winter so i like to encourage those kinds of depressing feelings, heres what i have so far, need some help though. A mix that i can just drive around when it is cold outside and wallow. A mix that i can just walk around the city or campus thinking about how shitty everything is instead of doing something about my life, because i always end up feeling like that at some point during michigan winters

Early november:everything's too cold or ever so sweet
bayside: winter
City and Colour: Save your scissors
Dashboard: a plain morning
further seems forever: new years project
get up kids: out of reach
Sufjan: chicago acoustic

While I don't have any specific songs to add to this, I can completely relate to your sentiment, even in Southern California. I think there is a type of indescribable beauty in those miserable days that make them worth living through. I wish we had more.

i love it...its one of those songs that perfectly makes me feel wonderful and depressed at the same time. i don't know how. anyway, our band covers that song so it's been in my rotation a lot and has some cool memories associated with playing it in our friends' backyard house parties... :)

[zeropunk16]

alkaline trio - warbrain

Yes. My favorite Trio song.

I will also add in AFI's Sing the Sorrow. Just cause that album is probably the reason I live.

i made an acoustic version to it in what i call the "mike kinsella/goo goo dolls" tuning. its a weird tuning but probably the most beautiful tuning ive ever heard

i also did it in standard, but it sounds boring and like sooooooo many other songs... but its all original renditions, and sound nothing like the original... in a good way

[Sic Transit Zeb]

City and colour...anything. Comin home, what makes a man though would good

[brandnizzle2419]

elliott smith- (anything off Either/Or, Figure 8, From a Basement on a Hill)
for when you really wanna fell normal about loathing yourself.

[suchanawfulmess]

For some reason In Fear And Faith by Circa Survive is coming to mind. Kind of a situation where you're alone but you still remember what it was like to be with someone, but it's been long enough that it doesn't hurt so much, just you're bitter about it.

"it must be buried under the heart
that makes this pace consistant
you'll find it torn, thats gates been open
and I've been wondering, if you'd been real with us

it's too late..."

Doesn't exactly fit the theme per se, but there's a lot of winter imagery used?

[PutUp/ShutUpATL]

Remembering Sunday By: All Time Low. This is honestly the saddest song i have heard in a few years.

[xxcatastrophicc]

Asleep - The Smiths
No Lies, Just Love - Bright Eyes
Pollen and Salt - Daphne Loves Derby
Stay Awake - Lydia
Time of No Reply - Nick Drake
Outro - Haste The Day ( Instrumental, but absolutely incredible)

Seem to do it for me.
