These Photographs Lyrics

Cover art for These Photographs lyrics by Joshua Radin

I agree with Cuomo... Plath killed herself when she was 30. And the book that the quote is from, The Bell Jar, is a story about a girl (based loosely on herself) that was put into an insane asylum and given shock treatments... So while that quote implies cheerfulness when taken from its context, it's a truly a rather cynical remark.
