Fountains of Wayne’s fifth and final album, 2011’s Sky Full of Holes, is the one I know least. It’s nice, then, to see it pop up on a Random Weekend and treat me to a “new” song.
‘Hate to See You Like This’ is a sweet plea to a loved one who is suffering from depression. I like that the music is more power pop upbeat than you would expect from the lyrics.
You’re not even trying
Your place is a mess
And all your plants are dying
You’re lying around in those sweatpants
You’re staring off into the distance
Come on give me a kiss
I hate to see you like this
I hate to see you like this
Ah ah ah ah
I hate to see you like this
I don’t know
What’s going on in your head now
But I think it’s time
You got on up out of bed now
Let’s get your phone reconnected
Let’s get this room disinfected
Come on give me a kiss
I hate to see you like this
I hate to see you like this
Ah ah ah ah
I hate to see you like this
You know whatever’s on your mind
It’s gonna work itself out over time
But it’s never gonna get much better
If you don’t make a little effort
Just a little effort
Come on girl
Let’s pull it together
You can’t just watch infomercials forever
If you need a hand
Why don’t you take mine?
Let’s get you out
Into the sunshine
Come on give me a kiss
I hate to see you like this
I hate to see you like this
Ah ah ah ah
I hate to see you like this
Meet Me In Montauk 
I’m used to lighter subject matter from FOW, but this is nice nevertheless.
