[Howieeeeex]

People that make really amazing music always look like their suffering. Almost like their gift as a lyricist or musician is more of a burden rather than a gift.

[Landerspromo]

@Ryanrobot99 An obscure band from the '60's.

@Howieeeeex Very interesting theory

[TKOblue]

@Howieeeeex: Or more like they're burdened with troubles and that their gift is the only way they can let the hurt out.

Maybe it's cause i'm stoned right now but I felt like I was watching the Muppets when they play in their band, especially when the shaggy haired dude was playing the rhodes keyboard.

Thom when he still knew what a razor was.

@Howieeeeex Can't believe I forgot all 3 of those. Thanks.

[Howieeeeex]

@BruisedEyeSockets Add to that Ian Curtis, Morrissey and Kurt Cobain.

@Howieeeeex all humans who are constantly thinking are always in pain..especially seeing the state of our world..the acceptance of greed and ego..

@BruisedEyeSockets I don't know about any of those people except for Buckley (the great Buckley). And I think his expression fits the emotional vibe of the song, as it should. But did he look miserable, do I think? No. In any case, if artists were miserable performing on stage, they wouldn't be doing it.

[stevefromchicago]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Great live performance too.

@moneyquickeasy What about Steven Wilson, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Stuart Braithwaite, Jamie Stewart, Belinda Butcher, Robin Pecknold, Syd Barrett, Mark Hollis, Ed Droste, James Blake, Phil Elvrum, and Jonsi? They all look miserable & they all make/made amazing music.
