Can I choose an album instead? No? Bugger it, i'm *kind of* going to anyway.
I was struggling to choose today's song, fritting between Brand New's 'Limousine' and Sufjan Stevens' 'John Wayne Gacy Jr', then I remembered that the album this track is taken from existed.
The album itself, 'Hospice' is about an emotionally abusive relationship, told through the analogy of a hospice worker and a terminally ill cancer patient. This song, musically at least is one of the more upbeat moments on the record, but listen to the lyrics, and it's really not. The Antlers new album 'Burst Apart' is released next week, and from what I've heard it's looking like it'll be a similarly sombre (if not quite as soul destroying) affair.
