I shall apologise in advance for this song; it is probably one of the saddest songs that I have ever heard.
The lyric is about the death of the composer’s son at a young age.
The song is ‘Twenty One’ by The Apartments.

I like your comparisson, Mark. A lot of their work, to me, seems to be a delicate blend of optimism and melancholy. Thanks for listening.

No need to apologise Chris, these things in life happen, my parents lost a daughter to leukaemia a few months before I was born, no 21 for her. I can take just about any kind of mood in a song, writing or a movie. I like the reality of life and not hiding from it. I think this sums up that feeling of loss of someone so young very well, love the video too. But I do have one question, if it’s about the composers son, why is a girl featured in the video. Just wondering?! 🙂

No idea, Suzy. Perhaps whoever made the video felt that a girl would touch people more? Sorry for your parents’ loss, but, yes, the song does capture this feeling well. Thanks for listening.
