Songs that make you realize you’re alone

These are the songs that when they play on my iPod make me realize I’m alone…they then make me wonder why I have them on my running mix at the gym.

I placed rules on myself when trying to pick the best ten.
#1) Nothing “classic.”  As much as I love Sinatra and Buble, I couldn’t bring myself to have any romantic attachment to a style of music that reminds me of my father.
#2)  It can’t be a “Wedding Song” one that make all my engaged friends go, “Oh maybe I’ll have my first dance to this.” NO!  Those songs did not make my list.
#3)  Nothing I loved during high school could make the list (Nsync and John Mayer I’m looking at you).
#4)  They had to make me think about someone else.  The trend of the list indicates that pianos make me think about former loves.
#5)  I could only pick 10.  So here they are, the Top Ten Songs that Make You Realize You’re Alone.

Well those are the rules so download these songs to your iPod, build a fire, curl up under a blanket, grab some Ben and Jerry’s and press play.
