Karma PoliceRadiohead36rank/position
A track from Radiohead’s landmark album OK Computer.
Betrayal, laziness, setting people up… It’s a song with a very deep theme that sings about the sinfulness that inevitably resides in the human heart.
As artists from the U.K., where a bourgeois mindset still lingers, it also conveys their anger toward the upper classes.
When you can’t shake off loneliness, why not lose yourself in a song like this?
THE LONELIESTMåneskin37rank/position
A poignant song by the Italian rock band Måneskin that depicts the sorrow of losing a loved one.
It expresses a man’s feelings—his love for the partner he lost and the agony of memories of that love—through mellow, melancholic sounds.
Many people have likely experienced “continuing to think about someone you can never meet again.” For those struggling with “I can’t forget that person,” this breakup song offers comfort, reminding us that “everyone goes through a time like that.” Released in October 2022, the track has become a hit, with its music video surpassing 15.4 million views.
If you want to dwell in the sadness of losing someone you love, give it a listen.

Fade Into YouMazzy Star40rank/position
Within its fragile, melancholic melody, yearning and deep affection melt together.
Mazzy Star’s signature song portrays the anguish of longing for unity with another while knowing it can’t be realized, set against a dreamlike soundscape.
Brimming with the essence of one of America’s defining alternative rock bands, this work was included on the October 1993 album “So Tonight That I Might See” and was released as a single the following year.
The black-and-white music video aired on MTV is memorable for its performance scenes in a dim, burlesque-era ballroom.
Featured in numerous films and TV dramas, including “Gilmore Girls” and “CSI,” it carries a timeless allure.
It’s a song that stays with you on dark days, a companion for nights when you want to quietly reexamine your feelings alone.
