About "World's Smallest Violin (Originally Performed by AJR) (Instrumental Version)" by Backing Business
AJR's indie-pop earworm becomes an instrumental, its quirky orchestral samples and skittering beat intact. The title's tiny violin metaphor for petty grievance is echoed in the music's blend of whimsy and melancholy. Without lyrics, the tension between self-pity and playfulness still resonates.
