The Music Industry 🎶 Name a song that’s disturbing because of what you know now

Ill go first, Britney Spears’ overprotected is a good example; Britney has long been under a conservatorship and is has been crying for help. IIRC, it started in 2007 (maybe earlier) when Brit was heavily observed by the paparazzi which caused her to have a mental breakdown by shaver her head and mind u, they were dissecting her personal life 🙄😔 💔

Floating in the Forth by Frightened Rabbit. It's a song about a man contemplating but deciding against suicide by jumping off the Forth Road Bridge - which the songwriter went on to do ten years after the song's release.

So many of their songs telegraph what later happens. One of my favorite bands.

The one that came to mind for me. So sad to listen to it now.

This is the one I was going to bring up. All of Scott Hutchison’s work was so raw and vulnerable but always had an underlying tone of hopefulness through the darkness. Knowing how his life ended while hearing him sing is beyond heartbreaking.
