    As the Daily Mail notes, the Forth Road Bridge location had significance to Hutchison: On Frightened Rabbit's "Floating in the Forth," from 2008's The Midnight Organ Fight, Hutchison weighed jumping into the water to find "peace."

        "And fully clothed, I float away. 

    Down the Forth, into the sea.

    Am I ready to leap

    Is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth Road Bridge?,"

    Hutchison sang before concluding at track's end,

        "I think I'll save suicide for another year." 

Goddamn.

It's really sad. I really enjoy his music. I hope he found some comfort at the end.
