Molly

The Pogues take antidepressants? It's Sponge, it's emo, what the heck. It was a very depressed time of my life, in New York City, and this thing was tugging at my heartstrings somehow. The album it's on is very badly named Rotting Piñata. Nevertheless, there is a strong interpretation of Robert Frost on there. And I'm a sucker for a good bridge: “Molly” has one. And excellent use of the major scale, which as Tchaikovsky showed us, is the only real way to fly. Baroque musicians considered the major scale to be the sad one. It shows here.
