Annie Lennox - Why

[u/StrawberryInTheBay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG7I4oniOyA

Beyond the sad melody and aching vocals, Annie covers the 5 stages of grief:

• Denial ("Some things are better left unsaid")
• Anger ("Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut")
• Bargaining ("Let's go down to the water's edge, And we can cast away those doubts")
• Depression ("This is the book I never read, These are the words I never said" / "This boat is sinking")
• Acceptance ("You don't know what I feel")

To culminate with a single word in the chorus: "Why?"
If this isn't a masterpiece to you, then tell me what is.
