Death to Everyone by Bonnie "Prince" Billy

[applenoire]

is it just me, or is this song slightly depressing? ha. it's funny because before you posted this i had my itunes on random and prince billy came on, and i was like, "oh, for sure he's not makin' the cut." i'm going to listen again though...maybe....

It's not, I was being silly. I do love that song. I think it's kinda sexy.

yeah it is a good song. i remember the first time i heard it, i was kind of blown away. i also really like 'one with the birds' and 'wolf among wolves'. i'm looking for happy songs though 'cause i don't want to get depressed this winter by dwelling on such sad things all the time.

Here Comes One by them is pretty spectacular as well. In fact, their entire album Imagine Our Love is amazing. I cannot say they are all happy songs though, but those two definitely are.
