 What Does Desolation Sound Like? With randomly plucked guitar strings and a featureless voice trying to tune in to lyrics composed by a misfit.

 Surely, the world is full of Jandeks. Lonely individuals, shut in their rooms with the curtains drawn, strum and sing to the ceiling the renowned line 'that's your condition...'.
