There’ll be no Erasure playing in my house when I feel down. Instead, I’m going to let myself sink into a deep depression by listening to this song.
Billie Holiday – “Gloomy Sunday”
Listen to that song, man. That’s some pretty deep stuff, much like her song “Strange Fruit.” This goes to show you that it doesn’t matter how much auto-tuning is done, how flashy a singer is, or how many records they sell, the best stuff (in my opinion) requires none of it – and isn’t even in stereo most of the time.
