What’s the saddest song you ever herd?
At running the risk of being labeled “emo” I will ask the question
I just started listening to Sun Kil Moons newest album April
Now not to say that this album is full of sad songs, it’s actually pretty upbeat like most of Sun Kil Moons stuff but it got me thinking of Mark Kozelek earlier Red House Painters work and how it’s some of the most depressing music ever made
One from them that as always stood out is “Drop” off the album “Ocean Beach”
It’s about a person who seems beautiful when they're fragile But in reality you know they are an ugly, vindictive person. Then you see them lying in a hospital bed, and you realize how much you love them it's one of those 'You don't know what you have until it's left you' kind of things, I think.
