Built to Spill - Things Fall Apart

Before this album came out last year, I never thought it would contain a song so powerful it moved me more than anything they'd ever written before. Though admittedly, I was in a state that made me particularly vulnerable and the lyrics seem to fit perfectly, bringing some clarity or affirmation to my actions, almost like a best friend telling me "hey, it's ok", and finally being able to let it all out.

I still remember the day the album came out, I got home and was listening to it through headphones while cleaning dishes and preparing dinner, being completely blown away by it. It practically stopped me in my tracks.

"We've all seen enough, now its time to decide
The meekness of love or the power of pride
It doesn't matter if you're good or smart
God damn it, things fall apart."
