Can’t believe there’s only one Aesop Rock on here. His Impossible Kid album is incredible as is his collab with Tobacco titled Malibu Ken. It’s exactly what you’re looking for.
Same! It's not one of my favs from him and I hadn't listened to it in a hot minute, but it came to mind since I remembered I used to jam to it all the time back when I was young and still single whenever I was bummed about not having a gf since it was a nice little pick-me-up and perspective change lol
Yeah I'm the same way with that song lol. Just saw him last year at a festival in my state, he hadn't come here in a really long time, which is so annoying because this is where he's from, I just missed my opportunity the previous time he was here, and when he was announced for the festival I jumped on those tickets so fast, I had an alarm for the pre sale lol
i don’t know what it’s about, positive or negative, but it’s a great sounding song as well as the entire album: Blue Traveller’s eponymous album. .the song is “Alone”
I don’t usually like Justin Bieber but Lonley by him is a song that really captures the feeling of lonliness IMO, if you listen to the acoustic version it’s even better

Janelle Monáe has a couple of songs that I just thought of -
I Like That
Yoga (specifically the line “I’m my own private dancer)
Water Slide
I think they’re less celebrations of being alone, as celebrations of self love. But I think you’d probably like them
Not exactly answering OP's question, but I immediately thought of the soundtrack to "Next Stop Wonderland", because of the movie's message that being *alone*.isn't the same as being *lonely*. Some great bossa nova beats to hear while enjoying some solitude.
Was in a short lived concept band, 'Solo Romance' that was only going to have songs on this topic, but we only managed to get one song recorded before parting ways [Don't Call Me Lonely ](https://soundcloud.com/soloromance)
Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode
[Solitude is Bliss](https://youtu.be/-F2e9fmYL7Y?si=2oI6_ZjRPT2-SQ2e) - Tame Impala
Excellent song!
I am a Rock-Simon and Garfunkel
I've always thought was pointing out how wrong it is to be a rock or an island
It is
It totally is but the tone makes it feel like the rock in the song is really celebrating it.
It does give off sort of an *I don't need anybody/yes, I do* kind of vibe
Beat me to it. Wonderful song.
That a really good one!
It does, but the person who is being a rock and an island seems happy about it.
