Following the recent death of his wife, the illustrator and musician Geneviève Castrée, Phil Elverum, who records as Mount Eerie, wrote a whole album of songs expressing his grief and his processing of the loss. This song opens the LP and it's hard to listen to without choking up at least a little, if not downright bawling. It's actually not a song so much as a direct and honest expression of the rawest of emotions.
I honestly can't think of a song sadder than this.
