Why? - "Good Friday"Yeah, you all saw this coming. I've literally been waiting a year for this day, just so I could post this song on the appropriate day. Even though the lyrics don't have a lot to do with the Friday before Easter, the track matches the solemness of the day, despite it's being masked by hip-hop inspired beat, uncomfortable lyrics, and Yoni's distinct monotonous drones. Even though it's probably the hardest song to listen to on 2008's Alopecia, it's still my personal favorite by the band. Every time I listen to it, I pick out another lyric that I feel would make an adequate Facebook status update, until I realize that everyone thinks I'm weird enough as it is. I can't say that I can really relate to it, but like "I'll Believe In Anything," it's beautiful both lyrically and musically. But in an odd sort of way, you know?
