Ok...I know it's beautiful and sunny outside today...the weather is too lovely for listening to sad songs, but I'm sharing some tragic tracks anyway. Take this springtime!

Swedish songstress Lykke Li isn't keeping it light and fluffy with her newest album, I Never Learn . The indie-pop is fit for the worst break up of your life, with grandiose, sweeping songs about the pain of loosing love (especially the ending heartbreaking last track, "Sleeping Alone"). The authenticity in Li's delivery on tracks like "Love me Like I'm Not Made of Stone" is remarkable as she stumbles on the line "Even though it...hurts."
