Album: Southern Rock Opera
Year: 2001
The last song on Southern Rock Opera is, naturally, another great Patterson Hood death song, sung from the perspective of a guy — let’s call him “Ronnie” — realizing that he’s plummeting to his death.
It’s a dirge. Sparse and ornate. Just some skeletal guitar and a slower than slow drumbeat, as if all of time has slowed down while he’s having these final thoughts.
