"As speak one of muse, the lyrics of such mask a man may wear must appeal to you - for this, I must ask - what is of the saddest song you know of? Doth your harp enjoy such melodies of tragedy? Are thou trained more-so in the haste driven strings of warfare?

All things being relative, Black Hole Sun was a pretty dark song for me for quite some time. I listened to it a lot after someone I was really close to died.

Are we differentiating between sad and depressing? If not, half of That Handsome Devil’s library is pretty depressing. Notable call outs to songs like Kiss the Cook and Marilyn Loves Heroin.

If we are, I’d say Tree Food is sad without being depressing. Same artist.

All those being songs I at least ‘like’, by the way.

Also, parental advisory. Don’t recommend the foals listening to any of those by That Handsome Devil. If the saddest thing you’re used to listening to is a song about a breakup, you don’t want any of this.
