Maybe the person has an attitude that’s completely wrong. Or the life that’s described in the song just plain sucks.

Here’s my list:

Creep by Radiohead

Doll Parts by Hole Explains a lot about Courtney Love

What It’s Like by Everlast. Three realistic and depressing vignettes

Novocaine for the Soul by Eels…

Any others?

I forgot to include Mr. Brightside by the Killers

“Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone.” I mean, seriously. The guy is miserable whenever she’s gone; he doesn’t know where she went to, why she left, how long she’ll be away, or if she’s ever coming back. I listen to it and think, “Oh, for god’s sake, either sleep with her sister or kill yourself.”

Bohemian Rhapsody.

"Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

Suzanne Vega’s “Luka”-I remember hearing that song in the late 80s and feeling extremely sorry for Luka even though I was barely a tween myself.

All 1980s hip-hop music applies here for me.

For me, it would be:

“Seasons in the Sun,” “Rocky,” “Honey,” and “The Autumn of My Life.”
