Yes, I'd say "heartbreaking" expresses it in a nutshell. What makes it even more poignant is that even when you think the piece is over, and there's just silence and nothingness, the grievous melody comes back again, as if to say "this never ends". The bird may be beautiful, but it's a black bird. |
Nicely said, nightspore. But now we've made "Blackbird" sound like an utterly depressing piece of music!
(PS: *LOL @ Matt* How can I resist all those interesting comments from the depths of time?? *coughs up a dust bunny*)
