Re: Disturbing Songs that you Love Anyway

I love a lot of disturbing songs because they are disturbing, not despite of it. But one that definitely qualifies is "Black Eyes" by Radical Face. It’s a song about domestic violence - basically, the drunk husband coming home to find his wife and children gone because they couldn’t take his abuse anymore - when I was at a concert some time ago, the way they played the bass-drum parts was loud, harsh and uncomfortably close to the sound of punches.
There are a lot of uplifting songs by Radical Face, actually.

Also, Passage by Vienna Teng. It's from the POV of a woman who died in a car crash and watches her loved ones and the people who knew her cope with and move on after her death. It's both very sad and slightly creepy.

I...definitely don't interpret Black Eyes that way.

That's your right- but I'll take Ben's word for it and since that's how he explained the song during the concert, I'll believe him.

But songs can be interpreted however you want - it's a very personal thing - for example, "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men is supposed to be about a woman with Alzheimer's disease whose husband already passed on and she is slipping away as well. But while that's the official version, I really haven't heard a lot of people actually interpreting it that way.

"Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm" by the crash test Dummies always sounded to me like it was about abused kids but the guy who wrote the song insisted that it wasn't.
