Hahahaha I have resisted slitting my wrists to that song for many, many years LOL. It's not actually depressing, the idea that his music IS depressing is a bit of a myth......complex, certainly, but more often about hope and love triumphing over despair than anything else. Still, I get that a lot of people think he is just from his trademark sound. My cousins asked me the same question once LOL.
It was like being at a Tom Jones concert or something LOL....a lot of grown women...ok, actually elderly women.....acting in ways that should have made them ashamed of themselves. I just sat there and sang under my breath...there aren't going to be a lot of people my age who can claim, later, to have seen him live. It was the first tour he's done in 10 or 15 years, and I believe he's 75 now, I doubt there will be many more, if any at all.
