Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

This indie rock band has some rather sad songs.


  • In The Aeroplane Over the Sea is a very emotional album, and is incredibly hard to sit through for some.
    • However, it can hit you all at once in the last song, "Two-Headed Boy pt. 2". You can practically feel the anguish in Jeff Mangum's voice when he sings it, especially in light of his nervous breakdown he had after completing this album. The last line is, "But don't hate her when she gets up to leave." Then you hear Jeff simply get up, sets his guitar down, and leave. Not very sad in and of itself, but when you realize that it's the last line of the last song on the last album that he recorded with Neutral Milk Hotel -- it can make one feel rather sad.
  • On Avery Island, too.
    • Just listen to "Three Peaches" and tell me you that you didn't die a little inside.
