Glen Campbell - I’m Not Going to Miss You

This is one of the most conceptually sad songs I’ve ever heard. I actually didn’t know who this country music star of years past was until fairly recently, when his songs were played (and deconstructed) on the podcast The Todd Glass Show. This song was among those played and explained. The artist wrote it after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, and the lyrics are clearly written in light of that harsh reality. Through them, he expresses gratitude for the bittersweet expectation that he won’t have to undergo the more painful aspects of love because he won’t love his loved ones, or even know them, anymore.
Note: This is the official music video, with HD!
