If you came back as the deep sea


I have an overwhelming fondness for intriguing song titles, and I like to guess what a song will sound like based on its name. I also know that "It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful" sounds exactly as I thought it would. Naturally, it's a breakup song encased in joyful harmonies, and naturally the rhymes are a little bit cute and a little bit biting. This is perhaps my favorite sort of breakup song, because this is actually what such an occasion feels like: a little too witty, a little too liberating, and a little bit too mean.

Some songs are handclap songs without even needing handclaps, and that's exactly what this is.
