This song, and the whole album, really speaks to me on a level that other musicians haven't quite approached with the exception of Elliott Smith. I've been seriously depressed for as long as I can remember (around 6 or 7 years-old) and I've come to see it as both a blessing and a curse; in knowing the darkness that waits for us all one can appreciate life a little more, but at the same time, in the words of Nietzsche, "if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." I haven't had a good friend to share my thoughts with in a long time, music always was and always will be my best friend.
