Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

In 2003, singer/songwriter Elliot Smith stabbed himself after a domestic with his girlfriend. Smith died a short time later in hospital. Suicide had always been a theme close to Smith throughout his life as he suffered with depression. It's been said that during the last few years of his life, thoughts of his death weighed heavily on his soul.

Late by Ben Folds is Ben's heartfelt message to Smith after his suicide. It's takes you to a place where you think about all the people you have known that have passed.
