#4 - a song that makes you sad

anything with lyrics that hit a little too close to home LOL I'll go with "old yellow bricks" by arctic monkeys for this:

Watch on YouTube

You are the fugitive
But you don't know what you're runnin' from
You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone
Houdini, love, you don't know what you're runnin' away from
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia

I was listening to it (or rather, to arctic monkeys' first two albums) ad nauseam as a depressed teen who had just moved away from my hometown, so it gives me very 2010 vibes. which are not good vibes. but I really like the song, I LOVE the instrumental.

in general, I'm more comfortable listening to kpop songs with run-of-the-mill romantic lyrics because they're so not relatable that I don't have the chance to overthink anything. so hardly any kpop song makes me Sad sad, but there are a few. ("timeless" is a guaranteed skip, that song depresses me like hell; I haven't really listened to old astro songs in a while; mamamoo's "I miss you" always leaves me a bit melancholic but I love and listen to it regardless, which is similar to how I feel about tbz's "sweet".)
