Actually I should retitle this post "Sad Morning, World" because I have come to make you cry this morning! Or you'll cry if you're an easy crier like me anyway -- this 2023 song by The Pretenders came up randomly on my playlist this morning on my work commute and I was like, "This is lovely, but why the fuck do I have this song on my phone?" Turns out it's Jonny Greenwood doing the string arrangement and conducting the orchestra on this song, that's why -- I must have read that last year, downloaded the song, and promptly forgot about it until today. Anyway this song is tremendously beautiful and sad as fuck but once I started listening to it I listened to it my entire commute and now I am steeped in this mood o' melancholia. So you should be as well, is my point. Okay okay here is something to cheer you up after:

Just saw them do this last night in Sacramento. No Greenwood strings but the guitars filled it in nicely. In superb voice with very loud guitars- great show.
