Despite all that, he was in a dark frame of mind when he called up <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> to share a playlist that he created. \u201cYou know that feeling when you realize that we\u2019re all fucked?\u201d he asks. \u201cLike the world is going to end any minute and, really, what are we going to do about it? It\u2019s a feeling everyone feels. My friend and bandmate Logan [Metz] helped me make this list of songs about it. They\u2019ll help you\u00a0feel a lot better about things when something on the news makes you cringe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FPRWWhhiB8M?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/ray-charles\/\" id=\"auto-tag_ray-charles\" data-tag=\"ray-charles\">Ray Charles<\/a>, \u201cCome Rain or Come Shine\u201d<\/strong><br \/>The statement of that song is so defiant. He sings, \u201cI\u2019m gonna love you like no one loves you\/Come rain or come shine.\u201d\u00a0That\u2019s a good sentiment to have in a trying time. It\u2019s a good sort of solid way of saying, \u201cI\u2019ll be your rock in a world that\u2019s falling apart.\u201d I\u2019ve written songs like this. I wrote one a while back before the tsunami hit called \u201cWhen the Ocean Takes the Earth.\u201d It\u2019s about when water covers the entire planet again, this lover will be holding his woman or man or however you want to look at it, up in the air out of the water so she can breathe.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VkTZFOh7HxM?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/tom-waits\/\" id=\"auto-tag_tom-waits\" data-tag=\"tom-waits\">Tom Waits<\/a>, \u201cCome On Up to the House\u201d<br \/><\/strong>\u201cThe world is not my home\/I\u2019m just a-passing through.\u201d That line really helps you understand this song. It\u2019s about cautiousness. We don\u2019t know what this world is. None of us came here with knowledge previously of why we\u2019re coming here or why we have to leave. Tom Waits is just declaring that the world is not his home. He\u2019s just passing through. I really like that sentiment in a song. It\u2019s a good one to listen to should you be thinking the walls are collapsing.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ECU0AliS_cU?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Neil Young, \u201cSail Away\u201d<br \/><\/strong>This is from <em>Rust Never Sleeps<\/em>. \u201cI could live inside a tepee\/I could die In Penthouse 35\/You could lose me on the freeway\/But I would still make it back alive\/As long as we can sail away.\u201d In the song, he\u2019s lost his friends and credit cards and he went off to the canyon and\u00a0decided he\u2019s going to sail away. He\u2019s okay as long as he can get to a sail boat and just go.

It\u2019s a reverie, an ode to the old saying that we are ashes to dust and dust to ashes and so forth. It\u2019s sort of a jovial romp on one\u2019s inevitable demise and saying that it\u2019s a cause for celebration rather than mourning. I think in the trying times of this world, we never know what\u2019s gonna happen. I would hope that someone might get high off my remains at some point in the future if they were so inclined. I think it\u2019s nice to think that somebody might be smoking you when you\u2019re dead.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D6FnXjqrIuU?version=3&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><br \/><\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/aretha-franklin\/\" id=\"auto-tag_aretha-franklin\" data-tag=\"aretha-franklin\">Aretha Franklin<\/a>, \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d<br \/><\/strong>This one allows me to combine two artists that are very near and dear to my ear and my heart: Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin.\u00a0I really, really, really love this song and the way she sings it gets me in a sort of a fetal position in my heart.
