Songs for Thinking and Drinking (1 Viewer)

[AAABatteries]

[SIZE=medium]Had a little trouble with the subject because I don’t think “thinking” is necessarily the best word to use. Anyway, what songs do you guys listen to when you are in a pensive/introspective/somber/depressed mood? My only real “rule” is I don’t want anything upbeat. Some people may listen to metal but not me. Here’s a few that are in my rotation:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Simon and Garfunkel – Sound of Silence [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Van Morrison – Into the Mystic [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Kansas – Dust in the Wind [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]Simon and Garfunkel - Kathy’s Song [/SIZE]

[SIZE=medium]My number one is Kathy’s Song – I could take a bottle of bourbon, put this song on a loop and drink the night away.[/SIZE]

Here is a good one by a punk band. It's on the slow side though, so still might work for you.

And this is an acoustic cover of it if the original is to hard

Speaking of acoustic punk, here's a great Bad Religion cover by The Travoltas

Hank III also has some good ones mixed in with some cap he put out. Most of Lovesick, Broke and Drifting is awesome. Here is: Whiskey, Weed, and Women
