Mount Eerie - Real Death - SADDEST SONG EVER!!! 

As a big fan of The Microphones/Mount Eerie and Bright Eyes, I feel like The Microphones is Bright Eyes with a bit of the pop scraped off. Phil released a video a lil while back showing him and his daughter and some of their day-to-day and I was honestly surprised by how positive and well adjusted the guy was. He even joked about being "The guy who sings about his dead wife, but I sing about other things too."

Phil Elverum,Wrote this song in honor of his wife Geneviève Castrée who died of cancer after giving birth to their child. It's more than a song... Thanks for that moment...

“It’s definitely music, but what it definitely isn’t is entertainment.”

Very sad, my late husband died in my arms in 2009, massive heart attack. 💔😢 It about killed me!! Thank You Rory and Thank You Craig for this heartbreaking request 😢 🩷🤘✌️

Homie thats not even the saddest song on the album. Keep listening!

Meh, too meta, self aware. It’s so literal it literally sounds like a song that would be on Family Guy.
