I think that today we should celebrate the sad face. There are so many great songs, of varying tempos and tones, that exploit the morose and depressing portions of our existences, that a day must be set aside to celebrate them. So, today's for all the cutters, depressives, excessive escapists, and adroit masochists out there. *cheers*Who knew sadness could be so diverse in sound?... Well, I did, but that's beside the point. Here are three designations of desolation, dejection, despair, and dolefullness to get your Thursday off to the right start!
Included in this celebration of sadness is my favorite new cuttertastic tune, Sorrow by The National. This song almost made me cry the first time I heard it. Prepare yourself, ye with souls. Also thrown in are Au Revoir Simone's Sad Song, and Hole's Awful. These two tracks are in stark contrast not only to one another (Sad Song is delightfully upbeat in tone but meditative in nature, while Awful is pop-rock with moments of glam-inspired irritation), but when compared to Sorrow, they're completely the selectiveness the psychiatrist ordered.
So, say au revoir to your awful hole and suck on some sorrow.
