Reply to comment by Crustybuttt in Roger Waters for the Pink Floyd album 'The Wall' is the greatest vocal performance of all time by slowlyun
From your Link i only see people call him 'anti-semitic'. I see no examples or evidence why he should be so.
You got any such examples, evidence or quotes?
I hope you don't think that: 'criticism of Israeli-government policy = anti-semitism' - that would be quite a fascistic character-assassination.
Have a look at the definition of 'anti-semitism', then have a look at Roger's quotes. You'll see that there's no relation.
Calling critics of the Isreali government 'anti-semitic' is like calling critics of African governments 'racist'.
Not really helpful, is it? Historical fascist regimes used similar tactics to shut down debate. And anyone familiar with Roger's lyrics over the years is that if he's to be labelled anything with accuracy, it's 'anti-fascist'.
Hopefully with that cleared up, you can offer an on-topic opinion on the thread subject?

Depressing songs and Elliot Smith go hand in hand. He was a phenomenal musician. May he rest in peace.

Demon Days is one for me too! I used to just listen to Don’t Get Lost in Heaven/Demon Days back to back over and over because I thought the transition between the two was so cool.

I loved this. Someone waiting for someone lost to find them that's not even looking for them. <3

Les colocs - Le répondeur
It's in French but it's one of the most perfect songs about depression.

Not a regular country listener. But this is the saddest song I've ever heard.

Thank you guys so much for sharing. It feels weird to experience how so many of you guys experience sadness too, all so different. I dunno, not all of them are my thing, but it feels good to share it, instead of just listening alone in the dark.

I don't know who the song is about, but it's beautifully written and flows really well.
He's an artist from Seattle and on tour now. I missed his last show, but I'm looking forward to seeing him at the end of April. Should be very chill.
My other favorite song by him is "Best Dress". I think many of us can relate.
