Not surprised to see Janet drop early - figured that was probably more likely than it going far, but I thought it'd be an interesting nomination. Bit of a departure from songs that are normally on my playlist in how disquieting it is for sure, although I have seen an interpretation that the pills being talked about aren't so much medication as they are a destructive addiction that the protagonist can't stand to watch anymore, and that the "death" etc. being referred to is more metaphorical. Think you have to stretch your mind to see that one a bit, but I don't know - I've seen crazier song interpretations too.

Blackbird being my first out was a little more unexpected, though your explanation makes perfect sense. Alter Bridge isn't a band I love, but they have a few songs that really land with me and Blackbird is the biggest one. Love the vocals and it has maybe my favorite guitar solo of any studio recording ever.

I like this. Figures, since it's an NBIceman nomination. I get the impression we have similar tastes.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, history would definitely indicate our tastes match up fairly well.
