True story: a couple months ago, I got dumped by a girl named Sheila. I was pretty despondent... all the music that I was listening to at that time just made me more heartbroken, so I dug around in my closet and found some Smashing Pumpkins CD's that an old friend (Eric) had made for me a couple years ago. Now, I never really liked the Pumpkins, but I had never listened to them that closely. They were always just on in the background while we played Halo in Eric's basement, and though I remembered and liked some songs (1979, Disarm, Tonight Tonight), I never really paid attention to the rest.
Anyways, I thought that maybe some different music would help make me forget Sheila, so I dug out Ava Adore, not having the slightest idea what would be on it, and I just kind of chilled and put it on. The first song immediately struck me as the perfect song. I was just so peaceful, and it instantly reminded me of the light at dusk in January on the blacktop of my elementary school for some reason, and I thought it really beautiful. I kept playing it over and over again, and eventually I just had to go online and lookup the lyrics. When I saw that it was titled "To Sheila" I actually just started laughing hysterically. It was like one of those coincidences that happen in sitcoms or the comics, and it just made me think that my plight wasn't so bad, and that if it seemed like the gods were toying with me, that was cause for laughter.
