I've never heard of Red House Painters before, but now I'm going to check out more of their music, thanks to your post.

Have you played this song for that person in your life? I know I'd think twice about leaving if someone felt that strongly about me! Of course, maybe you could go to London if her heart is dead-set on it!
Listen to Mother next.

Death Cab For Cutie - Styrofoam Plates



"There's a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes
I threw them to sea, but a gust blew them backwards
And the sting in my eyes that you then inflicted
Was par for the course just as when you were living

It's no stretch to say you were not quite a father
But a donor of seeds to a poor single mother
That would raise us alone, we never saw the money
That went down your throat through the hole in your belly"

My father is an alcoholic, didn't pay child support to a mother raising my sister and I after she got laid off from her long-time job. Even though my dad isn't around, his memory stings like saltwater in my eye.

Such a powerful experience every time I listen to this song.

"You're a disgrace to the concept of family. A bastard in life, thus a bastard in death"--I'm sorry your dad fits this song so well, Emsanders. It must have been hard on all of you to be disappointed so greatly by this person.

I like the song very much, by the way: it is very direct and kind of minimalist at the beginning, then becomes agitated as the song progresses. So the song shows well the mixture of feelings of sadness, regret, abandonment, anger, and disgust.

Estoy enfermo ("I'm Sick") by Pignoise (a band) together with Melendi (a pop and rock singer):



I've translated the lyrics:

"Since a while ago I'm on my own
and I've lost my mind.
Since a while ago I'm crazy;
don't blame me for that.

I'm a kind of weirdo preserved in solitude.
And though I aim at me, I never fire;
I always use to forgive myself.
And nobody can help me.

I'm ill...
Nobody can cure me.
I just want some calmness.
I feel how I'm dying inside.
I'm ill...

And when I close my eyes
my whole world starts spinning.
Little by little I'll try to get my mind back.
If I've never flown across the sky
it is because my wings aren't real.
When I take a run-up, I always slip,
I never manage to take off.
And no one can help me.

I'm ill...
Nobody can cure me.
I just want some calmness.
I feel how I'm dying inside...
I feel how I'm dying inside...
I'm ill..."

Zaqarbal! This choice of your "you" song surprised me mucho (if I may be so bold as to attempt a little Spanish). You always seem so chipper and humorous. Is this just a facade hiding a discontented, troubled soul? I never knew...

I always thought of you as being like this:



But now I'm thinking that maybe you're feeling a little more like this:

Hmm, Spitzaer, I'd never heard that Muse song before you mentioned it...rather melodramatic. I gather from the song that you and your flame have a few tiny, tiny issues.

Unintended - Muse

Almost describes my situation perfectly with my gal. We actually made it our "song". Good thing it's a slow one, so I can dance to it at the wedding
