  • FINALLY 😭

    To say a podcast finally understands me is an understatement. There is something so cathartic about listening to people discuss my favorite sad songs. Thank you for this a million times.

  • What a happy accident

    Forget how I stumbled across this pod, but I’m another sad-music queen. I’ve found my people! Keep up the great interviews, please. (Tiny quibble: It’s also okay to talk a little slower sometimes, leave some space between big thoughts. Just like these artists sometimes do!)

  • Very disappointing artist list

    I LOVE sad songs and so when I saw this is was like YES! Then I saw the artists. I listen to ZERO. Can u guys do anything not recent?! There are SO many better sad songs than this and plenty of those artists are alive to talk about them.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

REPLAY: Moby " When It's Cold I'd Like to Die"
Q: Was it therapeutic? Like, did it help you get through that sadness with your mom? And then also did it, I don't know, with your drug addictions?
Yes, it was definitely therapeutic, as it's the utility of sad music. Indulging in sadness can lead to beauty, and it's a way to cope.
REPLAY: Moby " When It's Cold I'd Like to Die"
Q: Did you have like a door you could lock for like your stuff?
Yeah, I had my little door that I could lock, but there was no one on my hall.
REPLAY: Moby " When It's Cold I'd Like to Die"
Q: So did the song originate as the instrumental part? Like you created the chords.
Yes, the year was 1994, and it started with the instrumental. I sent it to Mimi Goese and she wrote some poetic but esoteric lyrics, which I helped make less ambiguous.
Andrea Bejar "Marigolds"
Q: What does 'Marigolds' symbolize in your music?
It's a flower used for Dia de Muertos, representing life and memories.
