Death On The Tracks

Sad and Pretty is a story about the longing for a return to a stage of an aging love when it was beautiful and easy. The characters are clinging to a quickly fleeing feeling that keeping it together will be worth all of the hollowness and pain inflicted from daggers on each side, without a clear pathway forward.

The sedate and constant groove of the rhythm section provides a platform for a rolling guitar progression which carries a meandering and sweet indie rock ballad vocal melody in the style of Sparklehorse or Elliot Smith. The song culminates in an exultant harmonic chorus of horns signifying the birth of a new stage of acceptance of the scars of old, and the indomitable strength of an embattled, yet irreplaceable bond.
