I had a listen to this 2 times in a row yesterday and i few things struck me. First, why does an album with such a happy sounding title make me depressed?. Don't get me wrong, i love the songs, and most of them make me feel sad. The 2 most popular ones that people know (CJ and SSOL) are the most upbeat (along with redwood hill), but the rest of the album has despair written on it. Has anyone noticed this?. I think it's the sound of his voice and the backing to it.
It's funny how I like the album so much even though I feel down after listening to it. Anyone else noticed this?. COTS, however, is the opposite for me. Oh well, some people are touched differently. It's got this unique sound to it.
