"Fourth of July" is one of the best songs he wrote. "To Be Alone with You" still holds the number one spot though.
Omg... this album is so damn melancholic, more than anything he's ever done. I honestly don't think I can stomach this whole album all at once.

Don't listen to this record if you can't digest the reality of it. I'm being explicit about really horrifying experiences in my life, but my hope has always been to be responsible as an artist and to avoid indulging in my misery, or to come off as an exhibitionist. I don't want to make the listener complicit in my vulnerable prose poem of depression, I just want to honor the experience. I'm not the victim here, and I'm not seeking other peoples' sympathy.
