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 I’ve 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 I’ve 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

i know it's august, but it's so easy for me to slip into a gloomy fall mood any time of year and as such, i've had this song on repeat.
i'm a big sucker for strong lyricism and this song is no exception. the fact that she takes you on this journey about the death of a relationship she's in by literally opening the song with "Pull the plug in September, I don't wanna die in June" is so poignant yet beautiful.
ALSO, the gunshot right after she says "I'll hang on 'til the chaos is through" is perfectly incorporated and really the cherry on top given the subject matter of the song.
if you're looking to feel the sonic embodiment of a lonesome autumn in the form of a song, give this track a listen.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t 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 can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
