Hopefulness dies a slow and uncomfortable death. Organic, acoustic beauty that begins to deteriorate and fade as dissonance and doubt seep in, like wondering if "things can always get worse" means you're an optimist or a pessimist. A trilling violin and electric guitar suggest sunrise-like positivity until darker-sounding acoustic guitar and string pads @:16 remind you things will not be alright. A banjo-like resonator guitar arpeggio @:31 suggests the sad passage of time as strings, woodwinds and click-like pizzicatos (@1:11) remind us we're doomed for a life of sadness and disappointment. Good for suspicious activity, environmental decay, crimes, small-town mystery and watching our dreams get flushed down the toilet and ultimately clog our pipes.
