I’ve been singing every word to thing song since I was in elementary school. I would spend hours listening to it while reading the lyrics. I live the trumpet or trombone at the end that signals naive hope despite the entirety of the song and the lyrics at the end signifying defeat.


Any specific tracks that’ll give me the same vibe as the horns at the end of The Decline? I’m never heard of this band.
Start with their “Destruction By Definition” album. It’s got horns, but admittedly not as epic as The Decline.
Yeah, I was just hoping to make a little playlist of bombastic and woefully hopeful tracks like that. I’m not really looking for brass as much as I’m looking for a plea wrapped in cynicism.
