Greensleeves - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org

Not just a song that can be found in the archives, but one that almost everyone can hum, even today.

(Somebody asked what was meant by “today’s…” Throw whatever you want out, somebody tossed out “Love me tender” as being a tune from in the 1860s.)

      Fittingly similar to the theme of “Sumer Is Icumen In,” a British round from the late 1200s.

      I hate that song, it makes me sad as fuck every time I hear it, and if I never heard that song again in my life it’d be a better one.

          Something about it just ruins my mood. I think it’s linked to how my parents put that song over old home videos and as a kid I would watch them and just ball uncontrollably at the loss of such simpler times (when you’re a baby and don’t have to worry about shit, you’re just cared for and loved).
