Okkervil River - “Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas”

And I hear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than friends - like if we stayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on sale, and how each Christmastime would bring inlaws and snowdays and holiday mail. Your dad says you’re living in Georgia since last September. Well, I’ve got dreams to remember. I’ve got dreams to remember. Oh Sara, come back to New Hampshire. We’ll stay here forever. 

Besides the relevant subject matter, this song has the added benefit of compelling you to put on “I’ve Got Dreams To Remember” immediately afterwards, and listening to Otis Redding is never a bad idea for those with broken hearts. Do you hear me? NEVER.
