Cover art for Shades lyrics by Devil Makes Three, The

I absolutely love this song. It's clearly about seeing and trying to avoid an ex-lover, watching her have success in her single life while you wallow in drunken misery.

It's remarkably simple, yet the delivery of the lines along with the harmonies will well up tears every single time I listen. It reminds me of tough times past. I wish DMT would come back to their roots and perform in New England. What a great band.
