At The Bottom Of Everything
Here’s our Sunday Song. At The Bottom Of Everything.
Conor Oberst is an unusual, quirky but very excellent songwriter I think. This is the sort of WTFckery that I aspire to at times. The video makes this particular song come alive.
But Conor doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff in his songwriting.
I try not to myself. But I do wrestle sometime between trying to bleed those deep, down and dirty songs that get to the core of it all, and just creating something that puts a smile on a sad man’s face.
To be fair, I think we need them all and everything in between. The trivial, the funny, the deep, the good, the bad, and the god damn ugly. Keep ‘em coming I say. Don’t discriminate.
There’s room for all in the ocean of song. Even though many may sink to the sea bed far below.
