He asked if we were ok, because we asked for sad songs. Um,  no, actually.  In my conversations with Grobies, I've felt that most had lives that were marked by tragedy.  Also there have been A LOT of early deaths from cancer.  I feel depression is a symptom of cancer.

Josh himself has often been depressed. Maybe he isn't now, but he often has been before. The album "Illuminations" sometimes sounded like a suicide note.

I also feel that he does depressed singing especially well and doesn't do happy singing as well.

In any case, I think the does attract people who are facing hugely tragic lives.
