What’s a song you only listen to when you’re completely alone?

The Other Side by David Gray.

I went through a dark spell in my life which, like many people do, I faked my way through.

This song feels like it’s describing my feelings at that time, my awareness of my sinking sand, and the way I lost love from my life.

The imagery and emotions make it feel so real and bring it all vividly back.
