@bobbypinhead he actually said he drank it because it tasted better than bleach!

For someone who has personally tried killing himself (I tried overdosing on pills) I can honestly say this is an absolutely beautiful song. It presents the same emotion and sadness as a suicidal person feels. It's such a beautiful song....

Billy said that after he recovered, he checked in to a mental hospital. But after a few days, he told the staff. "I'm OK. Really. These other people here are CRAZY, but I'm OK!"

@TheTrueKS When Billy was recovering at hospital, the band mate who found him passed out on the floor asked Billy if he wanted to see the note he left. Embarrassed, Billy said "ummm...OK" After reading his suicide note, Billy smiled and said "Hey, I think there's a song here".

I feel like the orchestra fights the emotion of the song, although that might just be me.

@madlutist If you have a USB Turntable, a copy of Cold Spring Harbor on Vinyl, and Audacity, you can fix the audio of the original album to the correct speed.

This is amazing... just amazing..

This album (his 1st) was recorded at the wrong speed. Short story, he was broke with no recourse. So he moved to California and began playing Piano Bars under the name of Bill Martin.

Awesome



the way he sings this perfectly demonstrates his feelings. Its bitter, its cynical, and its hopeless. and it sounds really good. this song comes purely from himself unlike today's music where all of it is "fake" generic, and just bad.
