Difficult

Postby python » Apr 29th, '13, 00:32

This song is just amazing. The most emotional song he's ever recorded, and I've even heard he tried to kill himself the same day he recorded it. Goddamn, I was working on King Mathers (all of his 2006-2008 songs compiled into a coherent album), and I put this in before Beautiful, and just wow, this shit got to me. I've never really listened to it before, but after I did, I realized that this is one of my favorite songs.

It would've been more than great if he didn't recorded it when he was going through the circles of hell. It's true it makes you feel what he feels by just listening to the record but at the same time him been half dead on it robs its quality as a song.
I do love the lyrics or generally the message a lot! Beyond deep tbh. :y:

I was going to edit a hook in, but then I realized that having no hook makes it even more raw and emotional.

The entire thing sounds like he was on the verge of suicide.

Nah he was probably alone when he recorded it & that's why he even recorded it while in this condition.
It supposed to have a hook as it's structured to have one but there could have a thousand reasons why there is no hook on it.
As a matter of fact there might be even a re recorded version with better vocals too but we'll never know that anyway.
Obie added a hook & kind of did his own version of it a little after it got leaked... you can check it out if you haven't

That's my favorite thing about the song. You can hear him wallowing in his pain and anger. He's broken and you can hear it in his voice.

I know... I said it too. You could literally kind of imagine all of it & even feel it & if it was just as a gesture it'd be perfect but as a song it kinda lacks quality 'cuz of the condition Em was when he recorded it.
If he recorded it sober, clean & adequate it might have been a ground braking masterpiece as a song too & it would've burned the Internet into ashes.
I do know what you mean though.

It's hard listening to songs/lines about Proof, they're so sad even when they're not meant to be

Alright I agree with you, it would of been a better song, no doubt on that

But I love it being a little fucked up track. It's something i can't listen to very much, but sometimes when I'm really drunk and down, I play it. I'll sit there drunk and just listen to the rage and sadness.

My favorite parts are the "what the fuck good does that do me now" & how he won't say the word casket

I know exactly what you mean... it's a masterpiece of sadness imaginary.

TrShady is just great. A place where pompousus blowhards can connect with other pompousus blowhards, and form a vast circle jerk of pomposity.

I heard there was a version with obie in it, but it kinda ruins the song for me. (He does the hook)

i liked it better than you're never over, personally.

but it was very unpolished
"I take yall diss as endearment - I love it when I hear it
Maybe words offensive - free speech I don't fear it
Maybe music can take us to a place so atmospheric
Beyond our greatest imagination, illuminatin' experience
If we open our ears and close our inhibitions, it's clear"

Obie added a hook & did his own version after the song leaked... it wasn't meant to be that way before it leaked though.
