Since isolation is the new theme for the indefinite future, how about listing your favorite solitude, alone or loneliness songs.
Quick story...
When my wife and I were 19 y/o kids in Ohio, I said "Let's go to LA". We headed west and found an apt in Hollywood.
One Sat afternoon, the old clock radio sitting on top of the 'frig was tuned to KHJ and heard a new DJ playing these songs I had never heard. He would say a few words about what was happening in the recording studio or what the song was about.
The DJ? George Harrison
The album? The White Album
A week later I bought it at a shop on Sunset.
Pat McCurdy
Imagine a Picture of me and you, only you’re not in it

My favorite Beach Boys tune.
Here is an unknown one:
When Love is gone
Sung by Bobby Bare
Written by Tom. T. Hall
Alone, At Last--The Coon-Sanders Nighthawks (1925)
There was I, waiting all alone,
Wondering why I was all alone.
Wondering when I would find you, dear;
You were here all the while, oh, so near.
Then we met, and we met alone.
What it means being all alone.
Hold me close, time is flying fast,
Here we are, all alone, at last.
Cooool!
“Silence and I” - Alan Parsons Project
In a Lonely Place - The Smithereens (Featuring Suzanne Vega)
Journey - In My Lonely Feeling (from the first album)

I used to listen to Boss Radio KHJ. You might have bought that record at Tower Records. I lived off the Sunset Strip, within walking distance of the store, in 1975-1976.
