Sad
This song popped in my head for this, even though I hadn’t heard it in years:
“Nobody Knows” by The Tony Rich Project
The nights are lonely, the days are so sad &
I just keep thinkin about the love that we had
& I'm missing you & nobody knows it but me

“World of Nothing” is such a creepy entry from the Super Paper Mario soundtrack, esp when combined with the visuals of an empty world. A great game with lots of fun music that’s become a cult classic over the years.

🔔 Tis the season for music recaps!
It may be skewed in some ways, but I definitely smiled when that top song started playing - it’s a banger. And I did listen to loads of Chappell Roan, both as comfort music and for vocal practice. Surprised not to see doowop, my fave genre to sing 🤔
