I listened to nothing but Tamaryn's song Dawning for like a month straight for that reason.
I think it's also because there's hardly any music in A crow...

Anyway, glad I'm not the only one!

Due exception of course, for example, quite recently the following lyric stopped me in my tracks:

You throw yourself down on the playground
Skid to a halt on the runway
You cast a poisonous look to the sun
You know it just doesn't happen to anyone
You know this doesn't just happen to anyone


From Destroyer - It just doesn't happen.

I mean, c'mon, poisonous look?? So graphic, so bookish...
