John Allyn Smith Sails, by Okkervil River.
cw: suicide
Ugh, I know I’ve done some dark songs (er, there have been some drug references, folks), but this song is about a real-life poet whose father kills himself, and then he kills himself, and I’m fine, thanks for asking, honest! But also it’s just a great song that plays directly off the Sloop John B, which was such an incredibly dumb and basic and harmless song when I was a kid, and an easy way to say “I wanna go home.”
