Saying that Nickle Creek’s “The Lighthouse’s Tale” is a murder ballad and summing it up as “When its keeper falls head-over-heels in love with a girl, a lighthouse feels threatened and takes action” boggles the mind.
You, “murder ballad” playlist creator, are either trying too hard, or you are trolling. The song is not about murder. It’s not grisly.
Boggled.
