It was a beautiful Tuesday morning. The weather was cooler than it had been in a week and Stan Levinson woke up feeling well rested.
“I felt really good. It was one of those days where you wake up feeling like it will take a lot to kill your mood.”
But it didn’t.
“When I got in my car to drive to work I thought about the fact that I hadn’t listened to Sigur Ros in a while so I threw that on and just totally fucked my day up.”
The song that played was “Alright”. What possessed him to throw on such an emotionally devastating song at 6:30 in the morning is beyond us, but he did nevertheless.
“About halfway through the song I realized the mistake I had made but goddamn that song is so good. I couldn’t bring myself to turn it off so as soon as it ended I just spent the rest of the drive picturing horrible situations happening to me and my family”
Stan claims the experience carried over to after he got to work. He had trouble focusing, little motivation, and felt like he just wanted to listen to more music that would make him feel even worse.
“I mean fuck man the government has to do something about this. My kid could have heard that song you know?”
When we attempted to follow up with him the night after we interviewed him, he still looked like shit and wouldn’t talk to us.
(I can’t be the only person who does this, right?)
