Hell Is Other People Though

Fear of Men “Ritual Confession”

This is a song which is apparently based on the relationship between Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir that asks the listener to cheerfully sing along with the line “hell is other people though,” and I say: Yes. This is a wonderful mixture of breezy melody and slightly unnerving lyrical imagery, with singer Jessica Weiss casually tossing off phrases like “the taste of blood you read about” like it’s all innocent lines from a childhood diary.
