The world tells you Nick Drake was a sad man. But Hazey Jane II is a happy song, I promise. Sure there are themes of isolation and alienation. And some of the lyrics scream âanxiety!â.But also there are horns, a twanginâ electric guitar and suggestions on how to move through the world â like:
âTake a little while to grow your brotherâs hairâ or
âTake a little while to find your way in hereâ. And
I think thatâs nice. â
Joe Koning
Nothing tickles my fancy more than a super upbeat tune with truly depressing lyrics. Sheâs giving him the runaround, never answering his calls, and heâs begging her for love while sheâs always just letting him down â and you just bop along like itâs the happiest song on earth. (Love Really Hurts Without You is another absolute banger in this category.) â
