Cover art for Depreston lyrics by Courtney Barnett

This song makes me feel so sad when I listen to it. The lyrics themselves aren't overtly depressing (despite the title) but there's something about the feeling of it and the music. I suppose because I can picture the exact part of Preston she would be singing about, and that feeling of the old lady dying maybe by herself in the house she's owned for 50 years... I can't really even put it into words properly right now but it is overwhelmingly sad to me. Beautifully sad, but sad nonetheless.
