EPISODE 2: BEAUTIES

Songs about death so beautiful you might not have noticed they're about death.

Tonight's playlist included unwanted pregnancies, betrayal, Celtic death lore, ghosts, criminalizing the unhoused, public land use disputes, rape, incest, infanticide, murder, suicide, a lynching, a soldier dying at war, a massacre, and at least 7 years in Hell. The total body count for the night was 55 souls, both real and fictional.
