Every now and then we see a random holiday that gives us the perfect inspiration for our 9:30 Coffee Break. Today is apparently "Cheer Up the Lonely Day." We aren't going to try and cheer them up with happy tunes, instead we are going to dwell in the loneliness so they know they've got company.

So, let's put together a play list of lonely songs for today's Coffee Break. What do you think we should play?

We want to visit you for our Coffee Break on the Road. Email Jill and Steve and let them know why you deserve the music of Taj Raj and treats from Salty Tart: CoffeeBreak@TheCurrent.org

Songs Played:

Roy Orbison - "Only the Lonely"

The Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"

The Motels - "Only the Lonely"

Jackie Wilson - "Lonely Teardrops"

The Police - "So Lonely"

Aimee Mann - "One"
