I'm in a melancholy mood.
I'm searching for that song that's just right. One that will reflect it all back, so I can take a good look. maybe have a good cry. One of those moods that effortlessly looks through the usual cynicism. When the build up of sarcastic associations melts away and a mood comes over you that indulges a certain kind of sentimentality, one that craves a familiarity, that reaches for a song as if for a blanket well worn, threadbare, held together by a bittersweet comforting past.
Sometimes you need songs like that.
Today's Song of the Day is "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd off there 1975 album "Wish You Were Here."
Crazy Fact: This entire album was dedicated to their former leader Syd Barrett. (almost sent Careless Whisper.)

"Almost Blue" is the perfect song for that feeling. You know it, good old Elvis Costello, but I guess you wouldn't repeat yourself.
"There's a Rhythm" by Ron Sexsmith ain't bad either, tho it's a bit more uplifting.
"Martha" by Tom Waits isn't bad.
Don't go back to "Careless Whisper" man, I can't feel anything from that one anymore. "Kissing a fool", okay, guilty.
