Mac Demarco

Him or Elliott for sure.

Jason seemed a bit more optimistic in his songwriting though

Jeff Buckley

Jason's lyrics hit me harder personally. Big Sewell Mt for example fucks me up like nothing else.

Phil Elverum

>>71827704
Mac Demarco isn't sad though

The answer is Jackson C Frank

Honestly, i agree, Elliott Smith is great but Jason hits more directly and it becomes more real.

Speaking of sad guy with guitar, Phil covering Jason, with all that has happened with his wife, makes me tear up

Living? Pic related. Of the last 25 years? Elliott. Of the last 50 years? Nick Drake.

What is it about Ohio?

Mark is a weird cookie, first few albums are heartbreaking, than he toned it down with Songs for a Blue Guitar and Old Ramon, had some sad songs on GOTGH, but than he hit us with April, what a masterpiece of longing and emotion.

Terrible weather, a lot of lonely countryside, a lot of crime in cities like Cleveland and Youngstown

Not to mentioned Oberlin has a great music university.

Ohio is terribly lonely, and very melancholic in nature.
