Top 100: #6: Blue, Bright Blue Saturday

Number 6: Goldfrapp - A&E
Album: Seventh Tree, 2008.
Added 5/6/08, 84 plays.



Probably my favorite song about a suicide attempt. For those who don't know, A&E is the UK version of the ER - Accident and Emergency. I imagine that she wanted someone who didn't want her back, took some pills to numb the pain (been there), and woke up in a hospital (not yet). Once again, she's using some fantastic songwriting here - who would describe a hospital gown as a "backless dress?" And when he doesn't even show up to see her... heartbreaking. Okay, it's also one of my favorite breakup songs.
