![]() ![]() ![]() "Baby got a place in the sun selling people shade." Despite the fact that he may be happy, he's selling sad songs to people. I'll point out some specific lines to support my thoughts. Practically everybody that knew Elliott in person has said that he wasn't a sad or depressed person for most of the time sure he had low points, everyone does, but he was a joker and a fun guy to be around. The fact that this song has a happy rhythm to it is the ultimate slap in the face to those people. Everybody wants him to be this suicidal, sad guy all the time, and to write only sad songs. I think the song pretty clearly is a sarcastic remark at peoples' (critics, fans, etc) expectations of him and his music. It has nothing to do with suicide, yet they put songs like King's Crossing and Little One on the album? General CommentIt's absurd how Elliott's family chose to exclude this amazing song from Basement. ![]()
