A sad song about the relationship and breakup between Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker. Lovely and very sad.

Is it?

@rgz I don't think that it is. By this time their relationship had been over for years. This song was written by Carrie, and she didn't seem to be as hung up about their breakup. I think this song is about someone else. "I'm not the one you wanted... find a love that's true." I know that Carrie was cheated on (from her memoir), but this was before that, I think???

Either way, a beautiful song. Jam-packed with intensity and lots of images.
