This song contains one of his most moving chord progressions AND lyrics.
Fear of intimacy, rigidity of being, and no seen sign of improvement.
He was a depression junky, and created music for other fucked up kids to grow up on.
His life and music, for me, allowed me to live vicariously through his self destruction.
Sounds really fuckin' cheesy, but this album, song, and his story has helped save my life. I was able to look at his life and music, having grown up similarly as Smith, and see the consequences of creating a trend of digging deeper and deeper holes.
I wish he was alive and well, but because he isn't and wasn't, he's a fuckin' martyr.
this is so right. thanks for sharing this. it just passed ten years from his death, and his life and music still are so moving. I was just listening to this song and imaging him recording it... so many years have passed, he is not alive anymore, and i am in a totaly different place and reality, and stills his music talks so much to me...
