321 : Former Ghosts Take one anguished former band name (This Song Is A Mess But So Am I), add a splash of Xiu jus and a wisp of Zola Jesus. Garnish with a freshly broken heart. Former Ghosts prove that supergroups don't always suck. Judging by these answers, frontman Freddy Ruppert needs a hug. Forever Ghosts - Dreams [mp3] [Buy] 3 FACTS Freddy Ruppert: "I am completely obsessive. "I am completely compulsive. "I am completely obsessive-compulsive." 2 SONGS FR: "Fond Affections by This Mortal Coil. Is there any song more depressing than this song? The lyrics are the exact definition of complete hopelessness and the failure of relationships and the failure of our idea of love. And then the protagonists only answer to it for us all to just sit down and cry. That it is all really, completely pointless. Unbelievably brutal. The music is also amazing. That reverbed wooshing sound creating a rhythm backed by choral sounds. Heart breaking. This Mortal Coil - Fond Affections [mp3] [Buy] "I Know It's Over by The Smiths. I think this is my favorite song of all time. Sure I'll go through a period where some other song takes it spot as my favorite song of all time, but I always come back to this. It's always there and never fails to give me goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I think its the most completely perfect tale of unrequited love ever recorded. Watching the one you are completely in love with go with someone else. And the line of "oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head"... How else can you sum up the feeling of being so heart brokenly crushed that you feel like you are being buried alive? That build up at the end is the most beautiful and devastating thing I've ever heard in music. I feel like if you listened to this song at exactly the wrong time in your life it would literally kill you." The Smiths - I Know It's Over [mp3] [Buy] 1 WISH FR: "To spend one day with my mother now, to be able to tell her about everything that has happened in my life since she left, to be able to hear her advice one last time, and to tell her I love her one last time."
