If you’ve actually got lovelorn insomnia, it isn’t romantic in the least. But with this playlist humming on your speakers, you’ll be able to pretend it is.
The I Absolutely Cannot Sleep Thinking About You Playlist
1. ‘Give Me Back My Dreams’ by The 6ths
2. ‘Coming Back’ by Gotye
3. ‘Here With Me’ by Dido
4. ‘Aubrey’ by Bread
5. ‘Only You’ by Yaz (Nobody I know knows Yaz. This makes me want to cry and cry. I read a great article about them a couple years ago, in V, I think – but that’s the only place I’ve ever seen them mentioned. They’re so worth listening to! Their synth work is so clever, and their vocalist has such a lovely deep voice. Apparently they’re doing a reunion this year! Click on the link on their name to read more. BTW, they’re called Yazoo in the UK, and that’s the way their page refers to them.)
6. ‘But Not For Me’ by various artists. My favorite version is Doris Day’s.
7. ‘Samson’ by Regina Spektor (Careful with this one – it often makes me cry. Then again, so does The Muppet Christmas Carol.)
8. ‘100,000 Fireflies’ by The Magnetic Fields
Here’s Yaz (or Yazoo)’s “Only You”:
