What: "All the Umbrellas in London" is a very Magnetic Fields-y song from The Magnetic Fields. You've got wry, bitter lyrics wrapped around a ponderous, synthy melody, all drenched in a kind of bittersweet melancholy. Yes, please.
Representative lyrics:
All the umbrellas in London couldn't stop this rain
And all the dope in New York couldn't kill this pain
And all the money in Tokyo couldn't make me stay
How to get it: The song is from the 1995 album Get Lost.
Connections to previous Wreckage: For generally peppier output from Stephin Merritt et al., see Rec. #299: Love at the Bottom of the Sea.
