Arthur Lee
Everybody's Got To Live
Vindicator
death is usually frowned upon. these songs take a fresh perspective on our inevitable circumstance and embrace mortality.
for example, jens lekman’s saccharine cover of scout niblett’s “your beat kicks back like death” gets right to the point - it’s simply the repetition of the phrase “we’re all gonna die” backed by the sweet folky sounds of handclaps, ukeleles, and whistles. the song basically politely suggests that we celebrate death rather than cower from it.
