Rachel Baiman - "No Good Time for Dying"

We don't typically include trigger or content warnings on our posts, but I feel that the latest song from Rachel Baiman truly needs one. "No Good Time for Dying" is about Baiman's grandmother declining after falling and breaking her hip. As someone who fairly recently lost their grandfather shortly after he fell and broke his hip, "No Good Time for Dying" hit me like a gut punch. However, it's still a song you need to listen to. Baiman has crafted a gorgeous song about losing a loved one. The song focuses mostly on the power and emotion in her voice, as it stands firmly in both the worlds of folk and pop. And if you've lost anyone recently, make sure you steel yourself before listening, even though you'll be glad you did.
