Hi, I love the genre of song that’s “reinterpreted nursery rhyme with dark themes”:
“Humpty Dumpty” by AJR interprets the titular character as repressed.
Lyn Lapid’s “Itsy Bitsy” cleverly uses the original song’s cyclical nature to sing about alcoholism.
“It’s Raining, It’s Pouring” by Anson Seabra sees its narrator experiencing a breakup and rewrites the lines as “it’s raining, it’s pouring, my eyes, oh, they’re stormy.”
is there a name for that genre of music that is sad, lonesome, alive, waiting for the moon to rise, waiting for the sun to set, regretting choices or maybe my future, when I close my eyes I’m floating or maybe just drowning, breath tastes so sweet, you were the best thing that happened to me, I am determinedly alive, I am slowly dying.
something about loving someone and not connecting with them
