A Blurb

Today I realized one of the most beautiful forms of music: uplifting songs from otherwise depressing artists. I enjoy depressing music and the melancholy atmosphere and its unique beauty, but when an album is full of mellow, depressing songs, and one that doesn't fit, that oddball is usually a gem. I'm taking about the likes of "No Sunlight," "Blackest Eyes," and "Let Down" from Death Cab For Cutie, Porcupine Tree, and Radiohead, respectively. The joy I derive from those types of songs is a unique one. Optimistic, almost euphoric, and beautiful in a way that Sigur Ros doesn't do.
