this song is great.

it doesn't have any of the flaws I sometimes find in his writing, it's powerful and cathartic. it doesn't wallow in self-pity or bitterness, even though they are part of the song, it's really well-crafted. I wondered why he doesn't always achieve such standards, this song shows he's very able to do it. Not the only song, there are a few that share the greatness, and the imperfect ones are mostly still good, but that0s the reason why he frustrates me sometimes, because if it wasn't clear he's good I would give up on him. But he is, and I think he could be even better. This song is, musically and lyrically the proof of it.

So it's frustrating. Maybe it's just that I don't "get it", I dunno.
