Scott Hutchinson wrote a song about his own suicide in the Forth. 10 years later on the 10-year album anniversary tour, he killed himself in the Forth, to a fucking T.
So you just stepped out
Of the front of my house
And I'll never see you again.
I closed my eyes for a second
And when they opened
You weren't there.
And the door shut shut
I was vacuum packed,
Shrink-wrapped out of air
And the spine collapsed
And the eyes rolled back
To stare at my starving brain
And fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day.
And I picture this corpse
On the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep
On a rolled up coat
Against the window
With the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap
Is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth Road bridge?
On the Northern side
There's a Fife of mine
And a boat in the port for me
And fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself
Through drunken waves
These manic gulls
Scream it's okay
Take your life
Give it a shake
Gather up
All your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year.

My favorite Russian cover band

Went and killed himself soon after this performance of his own suicide song.
Nothing makes me sob quite like this broken genius.
Love shit like this of acts doing shitty shows before blowing up.
My wife has been wearing out the Christmas music, so I got control of the hi fi today and played this on a loop…
