Sometimes I need to listen to "Scarborough Fair," performed by Aoi Tada. Despite her chipper tone, she does a better job of capturing the melancholy nature of this English folk tale than most other performers. The words "chipper" and "melancholy" usually don't belong in the same sentence, but she manages to pull it off. It's like she's putting on a smile to hide her tears.
