The Bullet and Big D Lyrics

first off, i fucking LOVE this song. it continues to give me chills. the song in itself is pretty self-explanatory. the song is comparing the kennedy assassination to the suicide of a friend. i think the song captures the parallels beautifully. kennedy died on november 22, 1963 in dalllas, texas and obviously his friend died on november 22. he will always remember exactly where he was when his friend committed suicide. just as everyone rememebers where they were when kennedy was shot.

P.S. my favorite line would have to be, "i couldn't help but wonder, did you think of me?" goddamn, it's just too good it hurts.
