Suicide Is Painless (MASH Theme) the Calpernia Mix

[TheAeon109]

I have fond memories of playing cello in a chamber arrangement of this song, but I never knew the lyrics were so drab and awesome. Thanks for making this!

lol...a toss up between this and "Seasons in the Sun" for ludicrously sad songs of the seventies.

I always knew that MASH was a comedic look at the grim reality of war, but never knew or could imagine that these were the words to the theme song. Thanks for an interesting video.

Just having fun with the contrast between grim lyrics and upbeat song... I know the notes where I hold at the ends of phrases are a bit grating, but I didn't want to do more than a few takes on it.

One of the first records I bought was this song...

I love the original, but this version brings it into the 21st century! LOVE it!

As a side note, I think you're really coming along as a musician.

[heartsajar]

I think you did a beautiful job, Calpernia. Lots of respect.

SHEER GENIUS!!! Callie, you make anything you touch beautiful! The 1 "dislike" is hilarious! All irony is lost online but not with me, sister! XOXO

[CalperniaAddams]

Just a little upbeat pick-me-up song!

Suicide may be painless, but there's no future in it.

@sbflash311 Yes.  It's a neat trick, but with limited repeat potential...
