I have most of the Buffy ones- of course I'm never sure if those get to me because of the song, or because I can remember what happened showwise when the song was playing. The Sarah McL song at the end of Becoming II chokes me up anytime I hear it.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
That was my next suggestion!
ETA- Hallelujah, that is. But 'Full of Grace' is my Pity Party Song Numero Uno.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Hee. Clearly I have chosen well so far.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm thinking of making a mix called "And Fade Out..." or something like that.

'The Promise' by Tracy Chapman? 'Cannonball' by Damien Rice?
I can have fun with this one.

Good Lilty! I have neither of those!

The Eva Cassidy version of "Fields of Gold"?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Ooo, good one, Lyra Jane!
The acoustic version of Sister Hazel's 'Your Mistake' is good.
I need to stop and go to work or I could do this all day.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Any ideas for strummy strummy aching love songs? Stuff like you might hear at the end of a tv drama to make you cry?
Oh, I've got tons of these. I've made entire tapes of this stuff, though it tends to be a bit more rootsy and a bit less singer/songwriter confessional. Still, plenty strummy. These tapes are all designed to cultivate melancholy.
