This mixtape came a little quick compared to the others, but this was the first one I actually started to plot out. It's a mixtape for those gloomy days where you just sit in your room. Lay on your bed. Read, etc...
Embrace the melancholy days or nostalgia and know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You're not alone in your thoughts.

| 6 | Bonnie "Prince" Billy : I See a Darkness |

This song is emotionally devastating. So much so that Johnny Cash covered it, but I don't even think he was able to convey the emotion put into this version of the song.

From start to finish this song will torment any positive thought you are having. When you get to the line "I'm sorry for the inconvenience", you'll know you've just heard one of the most beautiful songs to be recorded in this millenium.

This is a Cher cover. I hope it isn't breaking laws by putting Bedhead on the mixtape more than once. This is a great collaboration and they've created the saddest cover ever. It's quite a farewell song being one of the bands last recordings together.
