 What a depressing yet beautiful song... I was thinking of recommending this when I first heard it, but today it fits my mood better and I feel compelled to do so.  Bertrand Burgalat's production mixes modern beats and bleepy sound with strings, alongside Cinnamon's old-school tuneful indie guitar pop with a female vocalist.  God, this song is depressing; did I say that yet?  But it's one of those depressing songs that's actually glorious to hear, accompanied as it is by beautiful, rousing music.  The vocal is rather tender; as if she's sympathetic about what a fuckup the listener is.
 Those uplifting lyrics in full (actually, there's more, but I'll spare you):
 "when you were young/you had the sun in your eyes/the grass was greener/the days were sweeter/in the next life/you know where you came from, but there's no sparkle in your eyes/you're gonna die/and there's nothing in between to shout about'.
 
 Why would you want to listen to something like that?  I'm not sure, but I have it on repeat play today; check it out!
