<\/div>\n

Remember going out at night? Those were different times. But late-night brooding can be the perfect time to lose yourself in music. And these songs are a perfect soundtrack to get lost in, for those long, moody evenings on your own. As part of Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s new weekly playlist<\/a> series, \u201cMusic at Home<\/a>,\u201d here are 14 songs designed to buoy your spirits and keep you company after midnight, whether you\u2019re battling insomnia, avoiding the news, or just sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea and your memories. As F. Scott Fitzgerald said, \u201cIn a real dark night of the soul, it is always 3 o\u2019clock in the morning.\u201d These are songs to get you through to the dawn.<\/p>\n

Richard and Linda Thompson<\/a>, \u201cNight Comes In\u201d (1975)<\/strong>
Something about Richard Thompson\u2019s guitar really hits home right now \u2014 his stormy Celtic folk-rock tunes make righteous late-night company during a quarantine. Even in the Sixties with Fairport Convention, this guy was writing tales for hard times. \u201cNight Comes In\u201d comes from the Thompsons\u2019 1975 epic Pour Down Like Silver<\/em>, with some of his most mind-bending guitar. \u201cThis room is ringing in my ears\u201d: too real.<\/p>\n

Kaash Paige<\/a>, \u201cFrank Ocean\u201d (2020)<\/strong>
A gorgeous new love song from 18-year-old Dallas R&B prodigy Kaash Paige, fresh off her debut mixtape Parked Car Convos<\/em>. \u201cFrank Ocean\u201d is her quiet-storm crush confession \u2014 you got her thinking about you, just because you remind her of her favorite song on Channel Orange<\/em>.<\/p>\n

James Brown<\/a>, \u201cI Feel All Right\u201d (1968)<\/strong>
What do you do when you can\u2019t be part of a concert audience? You put on the ultimate live legend, Mr. James Brown \u2014 especially Side Two of his 1968 Live at the Apollo, Volume 2<\/em>. (It absolutely crushes the more famous 1963 one, IMHO.) The Godfather builds a killer call-and-response groove with the crowd, yelling, \u201cBuilding, is you ready? Because we gonna tear you down<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n

Adult Mom<\/a>, \u201cBerlin\u201d (2020)<\/strong>
A perfect song for when you\u2019re missing your friends, even the ones you don\u2019t like very much. Stevie Knipe sings this indie ballad mourning a lost bond between two mates who thought they\u2019d stick together for life. Knipe recalls sharing a beer in the dorm, singing along with Courtney Love songs, and \u201cscreaming our youth away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac<\/a>, \u201cThe Chain\u201d (1977)<\/strong>
Is it a coincidence that Fleetwood Mac\u2019s hot-tub heartbreak classic is booming back on the charts at a moment of mass fear and confusion? Ah, no. Something about their shattered voices soothes our souls at times like these. Especially when Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine let loose: \u201cDamn the dark, damn the liiiiight!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chills<\/a>, \u201cHouse with a Hundred Rooms\u201d (1987)<\/strong>
An Eighties guitar classic from the New Zealand indie pioneers. \u201cHouse with a Hundred Rooms\u201d is a delicately wistful rocker that makes getting lost inside your own imagination sound like bliss.<\/p>\n

Jhen\u00e9 Aiko, \u201cPu$$y Fairy (OTW)\u201d (2020)<\/strong>
When they reopen the karaoke bars, it\u2019s all over<\/em> for anyone who\u2019s in the room the first time (and probably last time) I sing this sensual ballad.<\/p>\n

The J. Geils Band<\/a>, \u201cMusta Got Lost (Live)\u201d (1976)<\/strong>
Every self-respecting band cranked out live albums galore in the Seventies \u2014 but nobody gives demented rock-star stage banter like Peter Wolf, the Woofa Goofa with the Green Teeth. (\u201cTake out your false teeth, mama\u2026I wanna suck on your gums!\u201d) \u201cMusta Got Lost\u201d comes from the whammer-jammer Blow Your Face Out<\/em>, topping the already-great studio version. Wolf\u2019s intro monologue \u2014 \u201cThis is a song about L-O-V-E! And if you abuse it, you\u2019re gonna lose it!\u201d \u2014 is sheer poetry.<\/p>\n

Moses Sumney<\/a>, \u201cPolly\u201d (2020)<\/strong>
A jazzy reverie from the Carolina-via-Ghana poet. Sumney dreams about being cotton candy in the mouth of his lover, dissolving on somebody\u2019s tongue, overdubbing himself into a soul choir, somewhere between Radiohead and Prince.<\/p>\n

Al Green<\/a>, \u201cLight My Fire\u201d (1971)<\/strong>
Who else can do Jim Morrison\u2019s poetry like Al Green? When Al suggests you \u201ctry to set the night on fire,\u201d you\u2019re already reaching for the matches.<\/p>\n

Palehound<\/a>, \u201cSee a Light\u201d (2020)<\/strong>
Ellen Kempner dropped \u201cSee a Light\u201d just in time for the quarantine, a song to mellow your mind when the isolation gets under your skin. She sings a wispy ballad full of Elliott Smith-style guitar, about two lonely misfits making a soul connection.<\/p>\n

The Grateful Dead<\/a>, \u201cSugaree (Live)\u201d (1972)<\/strong>
There\u2019s a million Dead documentaries, and I\u2019ve gotten hooked on them all, but there\u2019s one recurring scene I can\u2019t get out of my brain: Jerry Garcia scuba diving in Hawaii<\/a>. I can watch this YouTube footage for hours at a time. He looks so child-like underwater, paddling to the coral to make friends with an eel. The sonic equivalent: Jerry\u2019s scubadelic guitar in this 8\/27\/72 version of \u201cSugaree,\u201d in Veneta, Oregon.<\/p>\n

The Jacobites, \u201cCountry Girl\u201d (1985)<\/strong>
Two wandering English minstrels, wearing ruffles and scarves and strumming acoustic tales of devil-may-care adventure, living out their Keith Richards\/Johnny Thunders fantasy. (One record was called Drowning in a Sea of Scarves<\/em>, which sums up their aesthetic.) Nikki Sudden and Dave Kusworth made their cult legend with the lost classic Robespierre\u2019s Velvet Basement<\/em>, including the wildly romantic \u201cCountry Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Dylan<\/a>, \u201cMurder Most Foul\u201d (2020)<\/strong>
Seventeen minutes, and it\u2019s over way too soon. It sounds maybe like Dylan might have flipped for Lana Del Rey\u2019s \u201cThe Greatest,\u201d like the rest of us. But it also sounds like JFK is just an excuse for one of those masterpieces where Dylan grabs hold of American history and treats it like a Saturday night.<\/p>\n
