I've been moping about a relationship that ended almost a decade ago to music all weekend, can't shake it, guess I never could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtZYsXSokFk

ignore the thumbnail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUi8We2gs7k translation sleep my child, beautiful child good night, sleep tight quietly the moon is looking into your cradle. i will tell you fairy tales and sing you little songs. but you must slumber with your little eyes closed good night, sleep tight. you will look like a hero and be a Cossack deep in your heart. i will accompany you and watch you go, you will just wave your hand (x2) how many secret bitter tears will i shed that night? sleep my angel, calmly, sweetly, good night sleep tight. Sleep, my beautiful child Bayushki bayu*, Quietly the moon is looking Into your cradle. I will tell you fairy tales And sing you little songs, Slumber, with your little eyes closed, Bayushki bayu. Over the stones, the Terek River flows Turbid waves splash As a wicked Chechen crawls ashore Sharpening his dagger But your father is an old soldier Forged in battle Sleep my little, and be calm Bayushki Bayu i will die from yearning. inconsolably waiting. I will pray the whole day long, and at night I'll wonder. I will think that you're in trouble, far away in a strange land. sleep now, as long as you know no sorrows, good night sleep tight. on the road i will give you a small and holy icon. and when you pray to god, you'll put it in front of you. while preparing for the dangerous battle, please remember me. sleep, good boy, my beautiful, good night sleep tight, good night, sleep tight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yunvDLP09Bw Reminds me of early summer over a decade back, when everything is turning lush and green, I'd have this album cranked high, doing the relaxing hour and half drive to college on sunny country roads. Always associated a strong longing for past good times when listening, it'll likely only get stronger as the years pass on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPRNXngMZoo This one is different, reminds me of a depressing cold February, no money, no car, had a break up a few months previously, truding around looking for work with no luck, listening to this album on repeat. I kept a lid on my depression, never told anybody until it faded as life got better. The song reminds me more and more of optimism these days.
Original is great, but I'm biased in favor of the version of Homeworld. Maybe it's because it's the first place I heard the song, but the vocals are much more haunting imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXRJBK8oJSA My understanding was that the Shit that gets you Mad thread could also be used for posting sad, but I've seem some spill over in the Confess thread as there's a bit more sympathy there.
