Song #123
Bitter Water by The Oh Hellos
It was released on October 16, 2015
Fun Fact: On one level, this is a song about one who looks back on an ended relationship with regret that the relationship existed in the first place. The love was bitter even in the sweetness, and now the former lover cannot look back on those times with anything but remorse and anger. In the context of the album, the other lover (the “you” of the song) is understood to be the demon that urges the author to continue in sin even after salvation.
