odd how a guy can make an album about being depressed and wanting to kill himself and we all clap and say what a marvellous piece of art that is and then be shocked when he kills himself.



like i have never heard a more clear expression of suicidal attitude in art before, but somehow still it did not feel as true before he actually did it

like the reviews and reception at the time was like

"Songs like 'I Want to Die Because of Self-Loathing" and "I Will Hang Myself on Tuesday' represent his covert inner battles and how he persevered. Of course, their true meaning may only ever be clear to the author himself."

album very much back on rotation



this is a weird one in that it's obviously heartbreaking, lyrically and given the context



but the instrumentation and Berman's wry charm make it such a comforting, almost uplifting listen for me?



anyone else or am i a strange-o for this?

nah you're not a strange-o, I get what you're saying



I jammed this last night for the first time in awhile, and like you mentioned with the instrumentation and Berman's wry charm, felt very much like a friend giving me a warm embrace, even with the depressive and heartbreaking lyrics and the album's context with Berman's passing a month after release
