New Good Song: Blue by First Aid Kit
Here's a new good song -- "Blue" by First Aid Kit
I love melancholy lyrics especially put to cute, cheerful music. Observe:
And the only man you ever loevd, who you thought was going to marry you /
Died in a car accident when you were only twenty-two /
Then you just decided love wasn't for you /
And every year since then has proved it to be true /
Now you're just a shell of your former you ...
But is there happy ending? A resolution in the third act, or some hope? Nope! Makes the whole song a little on the nose, but nonetheless good. And apparently these women are Swedish, so they are forgiven for lyrics that leave the listener feeling pretty ... well, blue. Enjoy! Or admire, then be sad.
