Sun and Air
I must be the millionth person to write about this song: How Soon is Now? - The Smiths⤻
It's just too easy honestly. If you've ever used the word "melancholy" to describe yourself, you've likely heard this song, or at least something from The Smiths in one form or another.
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die
As someone who very rarely (and only under duress) attends clubs, I fit the description to the letter. I feel so out of place in a club. But not because I'm an introvert. I do enjoy meeting new people and talking to them... but that's exactly why I despise it so much. Because a club is NOT the venue for such an endeavour. I much prefer to be able to hear the person I'm allegedly meeting (and to be able to hear the next day without the ringing of tinnitus).
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
I expressed a very similar sentiment in my earlier post Emotion Permanence, questioning "...when does it start?" I often feel that it's too late for me. That I missed my chance to get what I truly desired in life.
The Smiths have other good songs. Seek them if you dare. But be warned, they don't get much happier than this haha.

P.S. Before you write me an email, I am well aware that the lyrics are actually "son and heir".
