I almost cried listening to Benji the other day.
I kinda dislike everything about the songwriting on that album, except that it's amazing.
I spent a lot of time trying to write music without any irony, and I pretty much failed utterly at that. I decided that it cant really be done, but after this album I changed my mind. It has kinda made me want to do a little more writing. Plus I did promise DM I would.
But yeah:
But I discovered, I cannot shake melancholy
For forty-six years now, I cannot break the spell
I'll carry it throughout my life and probably carry it to hell
Fuck me that's a low blow..
