Eels – Dead of Winter Lyrics 20 years ago
My father passed away from lymphoma about 3 weeks ago. For the past six weeks i've had this song on repeat. It's amazing and so perfectly represents what it feels like the have this happen to someone you love.

"Radiation sore throat got your tongue
Magic markers tattoo you and show it where to aim"

Radiation causes the person who receives it (if around the face/throat area) to have an extremely sore throat, to the point that they can't talk and how he described eating as "everything tastes like metal". And they use magic markers to pin-point where to aim the radiation when they do the first radiation session.

I don't know. This song, overall, is really, truly amazing.
